Summary From our Head Office to the shop floor and everywhere in between our primary goal is to create and deliver a fantastic customer journey for everyone who shops at Lidl.  With over 7,000 colleagues across our stores, warehouses and offices in Ireland and Northern Ireland we are a big and ambitious team. We know our people are our greatest asset and our success is down to the commitment and dedication of our team. At Lidl, we recognise that our people are our greatest asset and that our success is hugely attributable to the commitment and dedication of our workforce. Career development and training are of major importance to us. All employees are provided with the training and support they need to reach their full potential and to progress within the company. Structured, on-the-job training is the foundation of our training concept, giving our employees the opportunity for further development both professionally and personally. At Lidl we believe that training is the most important investment we can make in our people. As part of the Trainee Buyer Programme in this fast-paced and exciting area of our business, you will be given a structured and comprehensive training plan which will enable you to develop the skills required in order to assist in the development and management of product categories through detailed market and consumer behaviour analysis. This will involve continuously sourcing new suppliers, promoting product innovation and ensuring a top-quality offering at the lowest possible price for our customers. This position welcomes applications from both recent graduates and experienced professionals in the grocery retail sector. Selected candidates will be invited to an assessment centre in June, with successful applicants commencing their roles in September 2025. What you'll do Lidl is an equal opportunities employer.
