Better still, the team around you will listen to your ideas and opinions, and you'll have every chance to try something new. The sheer scale and complexity of our set-up means there's always something else around the corner, and we'll help and support you every step of the way. We're trusted to get on with it. So get ready to make things happen here. Location: Hybrid - London Store Support Centre plus home; typically, around 2 to 3 days per week in the office, with increased attendance during reporting periods. About the team Investor Relations sits within our Finance division and is a small, specialist team responsible for proactively shaping the dialogue between Sainsbury's leadership and the external financial community. Working closely with Strategic Communications and the wider Corporate Affairs team, as well as FP&A, Financial Reporting, Sustainability and the Company Secretariat teams, we help ensure the market understands our strategy, performance and priorities. You'll work in a high profile environment, building senior relationships and translating complex information into clear messages that land and where judgment and pace really matter! More about the role As Head of Investor Relations (FTC), you will support the Director of Investor Relations and the wider IR leadership in delivering an effective programme that maintains a productive, trusted dialogue with investors, analysts, and key market stakeholders. This is a broad, hands on role-combining senior stakeholder engagement with the 'nuts and bolts' of running an IR function-particularly across developing key messages and content for regulated and ad hoc announcements (including results and trading updates), results and reporting activity. Day to day, you'll help run core IR processes and timelines, lead on drafting and refining key materials (including statements, scripts, presentations and briefing packs for senior leaders) and support investor engagement activities such as roadshows and meetings.

You're also solutions focused: able to translate complex information into clear, credible narratives and proactively spot what stakeholders need to know. Experience gained in Investor Relations, Financial Communications (in house or agency), Corporate Broking or an IR consultancy is relevant; experience in a consumer facing sector is beneficial but not required. Demonstrable Investor Relations experience, ideally including direct engagement with investors and/or sell side analysts Proven ability to draft, review and quality check Investor Relations communications and materials (e.g., scripts, presentations, statements, RNS/regulated announcements or equivalent) Demonstrable experience running end to end IR processes and timelines (e.g., results preparation, roadshows, investor engagement planning) Proven ability to communicate with, influence and constructively challenge senior stakeholders, including Executive level audiences Demonstrable experience leading and developing others (line management, coaching or leading through influence) We're excited to hear from you! Just a heads-up: if there's a lot of interest, we might close the advertisement earlier than planned. Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to get 10% off at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks. This increases to 15% off at Sainsbury's every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover.

Head of Investor Relations - 12 month FTC Salary: Competitive Plus Benefits Location: London Store Support Centre, London, EC1M 6HA Contract type: Fixed-Term Assignment Business area: Finance & Business Development Closing date: 22 April 2026 Requisition ID: We'd all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That's waiting for you at Sainsbury's. For a FTSE business, we move incredibly fast. When we're not handling projects, we're helping all corners of the wider group with what they're trying to achieve. And around here, you can see the results of your work as soon as you walk into a store, which gives you a real sense of purpose and responsibility. Better still, the team around you will listen to your ideas and opinions, and you'll have every chance to try something new. The sheer scale and complexity of our set-up means there's always something else around the corner, and we'll help and support you every step of the way. We're trusted to get on with it. So get ready to make things happen here. Location: Hybrid - London Store Support Centre plus home; typically, around 2 to 3 days per week in the office, with increased attendance during reporting periods. About the team Investor Relations sits within our Finance division and is a small, specialist team responsible for proactively shaping the dialogue between Sainsbury's leadership and the external financial community. Working closely with Strategic Communications and the wider Corporate Affairs team, as well as FP&A, Financial Reporting, Sustainability and the Company Secretariat teams, we help ensure the market understands our strategy, performance and priorities. You'll work in a high profile environment, building senior relationships and translating complex information into clear messages that land and where judgment and pace really matter! More about the role As Head of Investor Relations (FTC), you will support the Director of Investor Relations and the wider IR leadership in delivering an effective programme that maintains a productive, trusted dialogue with investors, analysts, and key market stakeholders. This is a broad, hands on role-combining senior stakeholder engagement with the 'nuts and bolts' of running an IR function-particularly across developing key messages and content for regulated and ad hoc announcements (including results and trading updates), results and reporting activity. Day to day, you'll help run core IR processes and timelines, lead on drafting and refining key materials (including statements, scripts, presentations and briefing packs for senior leaders) and support investor engagement activities such as roadshows and meetings. You'll also provide high quality market and investor sentiment insight to inform leadership decision making. The role includes line management of team members (including the Investor Relations Manager and Investor Relations Analyst), as well as day to day oversight of the IR Co Ordinator, helping to set standards and build capability. More about you You'll bring demonstrable Investor Relations experience, ideally including direct engagement with investors and/or sell side analysts, and you'll be confident operating with senior internal stakeholders and external audiences. You have proven ability to write clearly and at pace, exercising sound judgement and confidentiality when working with market sensitive information. You're organised and process driven, comfortable managing multiple deadlines and shifting priorities-particularly around reporting cycles. You're also solutions focused: able to translate complex information into clear, credible narratives and proactively spot what stakeholders need to know. Experience gained in Investor Relations, Financial Communications (in house or agency), Corporate Broking or an IR consultancy is relevant; experience in a consumer facing sector is beneficial but not required. Demonstrable Investor Relations experience, ideally including direct engagement with investors and/or sell side analysts Proven ability to draft, review and quality check Investor Relations communications and materials (e.g., scripts, presentations, statements, RNS/regulated announcements or equivalent) Demonstrable experience running end to end IR processes and timelines (e.g., results preparation, roadshows, investor engagement planning) Proven ability to communicate with, influence and constructively challenge senior stakeholders, including Executive level audiences Demonstrable experience leading and developing others (line management, coaching or leading through influence) We're excited to hear from you! Just a heads-up: if there's a lot of interest, we might close the advertisement earlier than planned. Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to get 10% off at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks. This increases to 15% off at Sainsbury's every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover. You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance related bonus of up to 65% of salary, depending on how we perform (in cash and shares). Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday allowance, and you can buy additional holiday.
