BUYING - BUSINESS COORDINATION

What we do - Work with us - ALDI SUED HOLDING - jobs

We buy on a serious scale, which brings in plenty of opportunity, but it also requires careful optimization and alignment to get things right - that’s where the business optimization team comes in.

With our expert product management skills, we design and optimize the buying processes for all ALDI SÜD countries globally, while also taking charge of international project management in the field of Buying and Assortment. This can entail working with external partners in areas like IT solution development, as well as developing communication and training materials for suppliers and buyers worldwide.

But whatever we’re doing, we think big.

"ALDI gives you the opportunity to gather experience in areas you potentially have never worked before."
