Purchasing Operations
The Purchasing Operations department is part of the wider Commercial team and plays an important role in ensuring that products are available in stores and maintained in all systems of the business. Purchasing Operations works closely with buyers and suppliers across Ireland to ensure that the product information is maintained as agreed. Whilst working in the Purchasing Operations department, you will work in a fast-paced environment while ensuring high quality standards. You will be working collaboratively with different departments to ensure that contracts are completed on time, and that the item data is maintained in our various systems correctly. Our customers will only be able to find their favourite products in stores if all tasks are completed in a timely manner.
In addition to the everyday tasks, the Purchasing Operations department continuously improves systems and processes at all levels of the business to ensure that they are matching the international standards. Change management and innovation are key for working on projects that affect staff, suppliers, and our customers. You will not only work with colleagues within Lidl Ireland but also find yourself collaborating with Lidl colleagues all around Europe. You will have the opportunity to work in various teams and learn how to manage your own time and resources effectively. During the programme you will work in all departments within Purchasing Operations; Contract Management, Master Data, Orga Projects and Price Analysis. This will allow you to learn different aspects of our operations.
