Being an Aldi Store Manager

As a Store Manager, you’ll need heaps of energy, great ideas and a whole lot of character. After all, it’s your personality that sets the tone of the whole store. But it’s this personality that’ll help your team when the going gets tough.

With experience of directly managing and leading a team to achieve objectives in a target driven, stakeholder/customer focused environment, you’re able to take control when things get busy. And with your own leadership style, you know the little things matter – whether it’s a surprise breakfast for the team, or an after-work delivery to a customer.
