Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• You are curious. Colleagues at Sainsbury’s are encouraged to find answers to the questions that matter to them and their teams.
• You influence, communicate and share. Where teams have the autonomy to deliver outcomes themselves, problem solving solutions, new ways of working and innovative ideas emerge quickly. To interface with these teams, the Senior Technical Controller will need to be a highly credible collaborator who can influence brilliantly up, down and across Sainsbury’s Tech and with the wider business
• You are comprehensive. As the Technology General Controls capability will be legislative in nature, it is important that the Senior Technical Controller is comprehensive in how they approach work – measuring and evidencing our effectiveness, with appropriate plans and governance in place to ensure that we continually improve.
• You deliver change. Where controls are not in place, or significant improvement is required, the Senior Technical Controller will be responsible for driving change forward to build and potentially automating some of these controls. As such, we expect them to be a self-starter, able to deliver change to time and budget, seeking support from other teams as they work through the required change.
