Retail Graduate Management Programme - Peterborough

Job description

Everyone who works at Lidl brings something unique to the table - but we also have a whole lot in common. We're curious, collaborative, and ready to make a tangible impact on where we work.

Ready to start your career at the heart of one of the UK's largest retailers? This is your chance to experience life at Lidl and all it has to offer. With experience spanning across our Stores, Warehouses & Supply Chain, you'll build your leadership skills and develop your knowledge to become a Retail Manager from the ground up.

This programme is rotational, taking you on a 23 month learning journey that gives you the best possible exposure to our core business areas, along with a range of opportunities to build your experience, resilience, and business acumen.

What you'll do

Year 1: You'll spend time in each of our core business areas:

Sales (store-based): You'll gain experience in key store roles, starting as a Customer Assistant and working your way up to store management.

Logistics (warehouse-based): You'll learn the fundamentals of logistics and warehousing by rotating around our 3 core warehouse areas before joining the warehouse management team.

Supply Chain (regional office-based): You'll discover how to order products, manage quality and freshness, and deal with suppliers in our complex supply chain.

Year 2: You'll choose the specialist route you want to take in Store, Warehouse, or Supply Chain Management. You'll then spend the next year honing your expertise and crafting your management experience to get the most out of your programme, putting you in the best position to take your early career to the next level.

This programme is not for the faint hearted, but for the right characters, we offer a real opportunity to develop into a retail leader with the drive, confidence and skill set to succeed.
