Just the way you like it.

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. As our customers grow and change with technical advances, our own people and business need to as well.

We have a role within the IT Assortment team on a 23 month fixed term contract as a Project Coordinator. This role will support the National Buying teams with a whole host of applications. The landscape continues to evolve with a multitude of projects all with the aim of achieving greater efficiencies and better user experience. To stay on top of this ever-changing roadmap you will need to be an organised and adaptable individual. The Project Coordinator role in projects is a great opportunity to play a part in shaping and supporting the future of the ALDI world.

You will work closely with our National Business Coordination team but also be able to form relationships in Internal IT and across the ALDI global network.

You will be required to collaborate with various business departments and have good communication and organisational skills. The position requires strong logical and analytic skills with a focus on attention to detail and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment demanding adaptability to changing prioritised requirements.
