At Lidl, we get involved and make things happen, bringing our energy to every day. Solving problems together and having an impact on our growing business is More to Value. We’re curious, collaborative, and passionate about what we do.
Just like you.
Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for the retail customer journey, and who loves all things seasonal? We are looking for a forward-thinking, energetic, and proactive Consultant to join our Customer Experience Merchandising Promotions team for a 15-month period. This is a high-impact role where you will lead and deliver key Christmas and Easter merchandising projects designed to enhance the Lidl shopping experience and drive sales performance during our peak seasonal periods. This role will be central to ensuring our seasonal campaigns and product launches are executed with precision and successfully launch in all of our stores across the UK seamlessly.
As a Consultant, you won’t just be managing tasks—you’ll be the bridge between our commercial strategy and our customers. You will identify opportunities to maximise sales, consider macro space allocations, and effectively communicate the seasonal campaigns to the wider business, including 13 RDCs and 1,025+ stores.
This role requires the ability to think outside the box, ensuring all stakeholders are brought on the journey. You will have a can-do attitude who enjoys working on new ideas and projects and thrives on change. The successful candidate will be a confident presenter who can manage and host senior stakeholder meetings and present their projects effectively to stakeholders at all levels of the business. This role offers a high level of responsibility and autonomy, whilst working as part of the wider Customer Experience Merchandising team, will report directly to the Customer Experience Team Manager.
