Pricing Assistant

Working closely with our buying teams, you’ll make sure that we continue to offer our customers the very best prices.

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. You'll get involved in every aspect of the pricing lifecycle - from reviewing market data and crunching numbers, to developing strategy and processes.

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.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Pricing Assistant to join the ALDI Pricing Team. The successful candidate will play a fundamental role in the business - driving sales and profitability, and making sure we offer our customers the very best prices. As part of this team, you will be responsible for monitoring competitor price and promotion activity, determining optimum prices for our products, and identifying strategic opportunities.

You will have strong commercial understanding of ALDI and the UK grocery market, and the ability to effectively communicate with stakeholders at multiple levels. You will collaborate with Buying Teams to drive business performance and achieve business targets, while balancing multiple responsibilities in a fast-moving and dynamic environment.

This is a fantastic position in a growing team, with exposure to senior stakeholders and lots of variety. You will play an integral role in ALDI’s success.
