About Lidl & The Role
Everyone at Lidl brings something unique—and we recognise passion, adaptability, and assertiveness. They shine just like you.
Our Buying team is seeking an Executive Assistant to support Senior Buying Directors and the wider buying team. You’ll be the go-to person for everything from office management to resolving operational issues.
Given the diverse touchpoints across multiple departments, strong organisational and communication skills are essential. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment with a positive "can-do" attitude, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
We offer a hybrid work model—spend three + days in our state-of-the-art London office (with gym, restaurant, and more), plus up to two days working remotely for the ideal work-life balance.
For internal naming purposes, this role will be referred to as Associate Consultant.
