We do things our 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 without our Customs team, there'd simply be no products in those stores.

- Dealing with Irish negotiated suppliers and gathering relevant supplier information (supplier, product and account details) across all temperature regimes and product categories
- Initiating and coordinating within the team or other departments in order to efficiently and effectively accomplish assigned tasks
- Liaising with external customs stakeholders to ensure efficient running of all import related tasks

**About you**:

- Experience as a Customs Clerk or similar
- Experience working with customs data and knowledge of customs legislation
- Experience in a busy, deadline driven environment
- Track record of rolling out new policies and procedural initiatives
- Highly focused and accurate with a meticulous eye for detail
- Great team player who works collaboratively with a variety of stakeholders
- Excellent verbal, written communication and administration skills
- Confident using Microsoft Offices packages (incl. Excel)

**What you will get in return**:

- Starting salary from £36,080 - £42,135
- Monday
- Friday, 8am to 4:30pm with the opportunity of 2 days a week remote working.
- 5 weeks’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays
- In-Office flexi time
- Full training provided
- Pension Scheme
- Private employee medical insurance after 4 years
- Company sick pay scheme
- Company maternity and adoption pay after 1 year and paternity leave pay after 2 years
- Long service rewards.
- Access to MyBenefits, where you can find a wide range of benefits, including our bike to work scheme, shopping and cinema discounts, health cash plan, a FREE will, travel and discounted gym memberships, as well as a host of benefits to support your financial and wellbeing needs.
- Access to a free, 24/7, confidential virtual GP service for all Aldi Colleagues and their children (under the age of 16)
