In 1992, Steiner joined Goldman Sachs as a bond trader. He worked for them for eight years in London, New York and Hong Kong before leaving to co-found Ocado in 2000 with Jonathan Faiman and Jason Gissing.[5] Faiman left the business before it floated on the London Stock Exchange in 2010 and Gissing left in 2014.

In February 2020, it was announced that Steiner received a pay package of £58.7 million for the year to 1 December 2019.[6]

Following the lock down due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in the UK in March 2020, Ocado recorded 40 percent revenue growth in April and May compared to the same period last year.[7]
