Aldi - Retail Management Placement

Aldi is one of the most reputable retailers in the global business market today. Our goal has always been very simple: to provide great value and quality, using leaner and smarter business processes. And it's working. We're winning all kinds of awards and new stores are springing up all over the country as we rapidly increase our market share.

We wouldn't be this successful without recruiting strong-minded, passionate people to share our ambitions. We employ around 20,000 people in the UK alone, and we're constantly growing.

If you understand the impact of hard work and commitment in a dynamic, fast-paced retail environment, then a career at Aldi could be perfect for you

This is your chance to get a real taste of retail, as you're exposed to every facet of our business over the 12 months of your placement.

You'll spend the first few months in store, learning about (and actually doing) everyone's different roles. It can be very hard work: you could be stacking shelves, operating the till, serving customers…whatever's required, you're there with a helpful smile and a good head on your shoulders. Once you know what goes into every role, you'll be better equipped to manage and lead the team.

Along the way, you'll complete a number of different projects in a variety of areas across the business, including Logistics, Administration, Property and Trading. You'll also work alongside an Area Manager, getting a real insight into their role. As a result, you'll be perfectly placed to hit the ground running on our Area Manager Programme once you've graduated. It can be daunting – but it can also be a fantastic opportunity to learn and be inspired by a company that's so different to all the others.
