Portlaoise, Laois, Ireland LIDL Full time
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.

Making sure a group of Lidl stores operates efficiently and generates maximum turnover is a big, big responsibility, so we make no apology for being highly selective in choosing the right person.

We are looking for up-for it, ahead-of-the-game, do-it-better retail professionals who have gained proven experience in a similar role. Experience, though, doesn't mean you've seen it all before and that you can do the job standing on your head. It means you've learned the value of fresh ideas and have developed a passion for people management. It's about strategic-thinking, bar-raising, problem-solving managers who can inspire everyone to be high achievers. If you've got it, you'll get loads back, fast-tracked with a great package and every opportunity to develop your management abilities in a visible role with a keep-it-simple, fast-growing, retail-changing business.

Please note that as part of your application you will be asked to complete a numerical and verbal reasoning test, designed to provide us with a more in-depth understanding of your skills and your potential as a member of team Lidl.

- Management of a district with line manager responsibility for all Store Managers within your district
