Full job description

Vacancy Specification

Working closely with your Buying Director, you'll make sure that they have everything they need to negotiate the very best deals.

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. Working within one of our Near Food teams, such as BWS, Bakery, Household, Baby or Beauty, you'll build your commercial knowledge while supporting the buying process from product selection through to launch. You'll get involved in every aspect of the buying lifecycle, from putting together tender documents and crunching numbers, to preparing samples and reviewing market data. The proposals start with you.

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.

Ensures that a polite and professional manner is maintained
Contributes positively and constructively to the Buying Team
Provides cover for colleagues where necessary
Works in accordance with the ALDI GB & IE Code of Conduct

In addition to the duties detailed above, it is the Assistant Buyer’s responsibility to carry out tasks requested by their superior, which are of the nature of their job description or deemed to be a necessity to the business
