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. As a Buying Analyst you will bring your experience of the grocery retail industry to deep dive into market data, and provide high level insight to senior management and the buying teams to deliver competitive advantage. Your recommendations and ideas will help shape department strategies to maintain our success.

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.

We want to deliver products of the same, or higher, quality than the leading brand - in whatever market we’re operating in. It’s working a treat so far: our own-label products are winning awards left, right and centre.

The Quality Assurance team are a huge part of this success. They develop tools that allow internal and external partners to assess products in a truly consistent and objective way – no matter the food or drink. We also investigate any customer concerns or issues. All in all, QA is a challenging and very important part of our business!

As a Quality Assurance Data Analyst you will be essential for helping the department to achieve its goal. With your help, we will be empowered to make data driven decisions to help drive us forward.

We are looking for a candidate who is excellent at Excel and can work within a team to deliver business solutions.

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to develop within the business and play a key part in shaping the future of Aldi globally. Ready for more? Apply to join #TeamAldi today!
