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.

If you are considering a career in buying, this could be the perfect first step.

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.
