We have an exciting opportunity to join the Buying Household team as an experienced Buyer. Managing a sub section of ALDIs multi-award-winning range of household products is an exciting and fast-paced role.
Our buying teams if it's possible have to move even quicker than the rest of the business. And they have to keep ahead of our customers too: second-guessing what they want and need before they do. It includes the day-to-day management and development of our core product range and suppliers, as well as the idea generation, creation and implementation of our exciting seasonal ranges and Specialbuys portfolio.
We do things our own way at Aldi. But whatever we're doing, we must be getting it right. With a wave of impressive sales figures behind us, we're opening new stores at lightning speed. And to keep on top of that wave, our buying teams have to do something pretty special to keep our customers coming back for more.
If youre a hardworking individual thats ready to kick-start your career with an award-winning employer, apply to join #TeamAldi today!
