National Buying Apprentice
7 days ago
As one of our talented Apprentices you'll get an incredible introduction to Buying with a leading international retailer (that's us), and achieve a level 4 Buying and Merchandising qualification.
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. Over your time with us, you'll get to spend time alongside our Buying Assistants and Logistics team so that you get a real feel of the Buying Process. 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 you are considering a career in Buying, this would be the perfect first step.
