You’ll find us at the heart of the National Buying department, the National Buying Administration team (NBA for short); we are part of the cogs that keep things running smoothly in the background. We’re the Business Partner Enablement Team (known as BPET), we’re a bit like a customer services team, but rather than supporting customers, we are here for our Business Partners (suppliers). Unlike lots of other departments in ALDI, our team are one of the new kids on the block. So that means there are lots of exciting things happening, we are still learning and adapting the way we work.
In this role, you’ll be part of a team that handles a mix of administrative tasks and Business Partner support. You’ll play a crucial role in helping to onboard our Business Partners to ALDI’s exciting new ways of working. We train our Business Partners, keep an eye on their compliance and create our own hub of knowledge, to allow the Buying teams to focus on their day job.
We’re looking for someone who brings a positive vibe to the team, pays attention to the little details and is genuinely passionate about delivering quality work. You’ll need to be a confident communicator, as you’ll be interacting with both our internal teams and external Business Partners.
If you’re always striving to improve and want to join a really important part of the business, apply to join #TeamAldi today!
