In a nutshell, you'll make sure that Aldi products get from the suppliers through to our distribution sites across the country, to keep pace with our amazing growth.

This is about looking at the strategy to make sure every stage of the supply chain, right back to the source, works effectively. So you could be dealing with a supplier in Spain one week and Slough the next. You'll be trusted, encouraged and motivated to own an area of the supply chain and make the right decisions. It can be demanding, challenging and fast-paced. But if you're ready to apply yourself and keep improving, it can be hugely rewarding, too.

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 without our National Supply Chain team, there'd simply be no products in those stores.

We are recruiting for a Forecasting Manager opportunity within our National Supply Chain Forecasting Team. This is a great opportunity to play a key part in shaping the future department and its ways of working.

You will gain valuable leadership experience supervising the delivery of daily forecasts for the UK and Irish business while managing multiple business critical projects. As well as forming relationships with GB/IE colleagues at various levels of the business and across all domains. 

As a National Supply Chain Forecasting Manager you will support the wider business in achieving key strategic objectives through generating and delivering national initiatives.  As the department and forecasting systems evolve, so will the role. As such you will require a proactive approach and a high level of multi-tasking and resilience.

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!
