We're searching Irish colleges and universities to find the Future Business Leader of the Year. We're looking for commercially minded, entrepreneurial students who aspire to make a real impact in their career.
PRIZES
Spend a day with Aldi’s National Buying Department where you will gain an incredible insight into how Aldi operates. See how teams such as produce, branding, sustainability and plastics & packaging work together to drive Aldi’s success.
WHAT IT TAKES
Ambitious, and determined students are what we are looking for. We’d like to attract students who are working towards a career in food business. They will hold the drive and ambition to generate innovative strategies, directly contributing to Aldi’s product lifecycle. They will have direct involvement in Buying, Marketing, Communications, New Product Development and competitor analysis, so they will need to be proactive and take initiative.
We’re keen to meet those who love working with people in afast-paced, challenging but highly rewarding environment.
To enter you need to:
We're bursting with pride here at Aldi Ireland. We’re one of the world's most successful retailers, and one of the most awarded retailers at the Irish Quality Food Awards, the Great Taste Awards and the Blas na hÉireann awards. We currently have a vast network of over 160 stores and have ambitious plans to open many more (you’ll also find thousands of Aldi stores across the world from Germany and Hungary, to Switzerland and Slovenia).
But, without the hard work and commitment of our people, it would be very different. Which is
why we’re dedicated to being the best supermarket employer in Ireland.
