You will be working as part of a growing and developing customs team, looking for continuous improvement within your role to simplify processes and maximise efficiencies.

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)
