We have big plans for both the UK and Ireland. So it’s down to our National IT (NIT) teams to help us deliver. We call on a mix of Technicians, Specialists, Analysts, Project Managers and support staff to turn our business needs into IT solutions. As part of an increasingly global business, we’re always looking for more innovative and efficient ways of doing things.
So, when you join, you’ll create even better experiences using relevant technological advances to make that happen. Standards are high; things move fast, challenges are tough. Ready?
From Director to Apprentice, there are many key levels in National IT, all working together to support this essential function. Every level offers the opportunity to introduce fresh ideas and expertise so that we can carry on improving our business.
As an expert in your area, you will be responsible for presenting solutions and approaches as well as managing any changes to the existing business processes. You will be able to think strategically, always considering the overall goals of the department and the wider business.
Our National IT teams support Aldi by delivering our system and infrastructure needs. As a Senior Manager, you will command a large team, motivating them to drive forward a number of complex projects and offer technical support.
