What you'll do

The Supply Chain Management department is split into three distinct areas:

• Assortment & International Logistics
• Promotions

The Assortment and Promotions teams act in a strategic manner to aid each Regional Supply Chain department in achieving their key performance indicators (KPIs), focusing on availability, write off control and freshness of product. The department also sets out best practice for regional operations. In the Layout Management area, the primary responsibilities relate to all forms of product placement in the store, and the creation of the operational instructions to be communicated to stores for successful execution of a promotion, i.e., bringing the promotional leaflet to life for the customer. At Lidl, the supply chain doesn’t stop when the item is physically delivered to the store. In Layout Management, the team ensure that each category layout and promotional placement is designed with a view to maintaining simplicity and improving efficiencies, all the while delivering a strong message to the customer.
