Our Category team analyses our market data to uncover shopping trends as they happen and provide our senior management and Buying teams with insight that helps us make the right decisions for our customers.
Our Merchandisers take our products and advise how they should be displayed, so that they’re pleasing to the customer and practical for the store. Because we’re all about new product development, merchandising is quite unique within Aldi.
Our Brand team plays an incredibly important role in the product launch process. Working closely with several Buying Teams, we work with a roster of agencies to create our own label packaging.
We have Managers, Analysts and Assistants across our Merchandising, Category and Brand roles who all a play a vital part in ensuring our products appear in the right place in store, in the right quantities and are packaged in the right way. Which role would suit you?
Reporting to the Category Director, you’ll create, maintain and communicate store merchandising plans. You’ll work closely with our Buying teams to manage and co-ordinate all merchandising requirements, category reviews and market data to ensure that products appear in the right store, at the right time, and in the right quantities. Importantly, you’ll try to forecast trends, and plan levels of stock to see how quickly (or slowly) products are leaving our shelves.
A natural leader, you’ll engage with and develop the knowledge of your team of Merchandising Assistants. Together, you’ll create layout solutions that are operationally efficient, customer focused and offer the perfect blend of product mix, core range, key events, and seasonal range and till space. Added to that, you’ll also manage the category merchandising review calendar, provide support to category reviews, co-ordinate space utilisation analysis and act as a central point of contact on merchandising and market data.
It’s a fascinating and complex role with one of the most exciting retailers around. We can’t think of a better proposition in Merchandising for an experienced and passionate Manager.
