Just like you
As a key player in our Brand Engagement team, you’ll take the wheel on our biggest public moments—from buzzing summer festivals and iconic sporting events to show-stopping pop-up experiences and blockbuster consumer PR campaigns across Great Britain.
Reporting directly to the Communications & Events Team Manager, you’ll champion key external partnerships and rally our internal teams—teaming up with Creative, Campaigns, Social, PR, Buying, and top suppliers to make big ideas happen. It’s fast-paced, hands-on, and all about showing our customers that when it comes to top quality, unbeatable prices, and unforgettable experiences, there’s always More to Value at Lidl.
We’re proud to be a diverse, secure and fast-growing business, so we’ll make sure you have access to the right training and real opportunities to build your career as well.
At Lidl, we offer a hybrid working model to give you the best of both worlds. Spend three days or more in our state-of-the-art office, where you can enjoy an on-site gym, restaurant, and more of the perks you deserve. And with up to two days at home, you’ll find the work/life balance you need to thrive.
