Working closely with the Corporate Responsibility Manager, you'll play a vital role in making sure everything runs smoothly.

Corporate Responsibility is part of our core values, so you'll be on the front line, celebrating best practice with industry bodies, NGO's, retailers and suppliers. You will be considered a specialist in your given field and will be immersed in a wide variety of different tasks involving putting proposals together, training new staff members and liaising with stakeholders.

- Work with the Communications and Marketing Teams to explore opportunities to promote the work that Aldi is doing in CR, and update the website with latest CR activities and information.
- Regular research of the market for competitor comparison, media trends, NGO campaigns to inform strategy.
- Proactively develop own knowledge and understanding of topics, demonstrating initiative and suggesting ways of improving current ways of working.
- Provide general support to the CR Manager including data entry and analysis, drafting letters, memos, presentations and communication materials.
