Just like you.
Lidl’s Audit team is seeking a (German Speaking) Associate Consultant for a 14-month Temporary Assignment to drive operational excellence and compliance. Partnering closely with your line manager, you will move beyond standard audit procedures to take full ownership of audit lifecycles, data integrity, and stakeholder collaboration, ensuring our operations remain sharp and impactful across the business.
Please be aware, should this Temporary Assignment have the potential to go permanent, the colleague on the Temporary Assignment will have first-refusal of the role (provided measures have been met).

- Follow-up: Track implementation of agreed measures and determine the necessity of follow-up audits
- Independent Remits: Confidently manage and execute smaller audit remits independently
- Operations: Schedule audit appointments, select properties, define sample sizes, and manage audit routes via the LPW platform
- Systems: Maintain master data and introduce audit programs in Audimex; extract and consolidate crucial data for review
- Administrative Control: Manage department invoices, expense reports, and office supplies while monitoring tasks via Thinktime/ToDo
- Global Liaison: Participate in international meetings, synthesise key outcomes, and translate content for the GB team
- Presentations: Prepare engaging materials and distribute critical reports in both English and German (where required)
