Just like you.
At Lidl, we’re big on development—of our people, our business, and our future.

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.

- Guide the selection and management of external partners to support both the creation and delivery of national development programmes and learning solutions
- Take responsibility for budget planning and cost control of all national costs relating to talent development

- Experience of steering projects and managing budgets
- A deep understanding of the role that L&D/ Talent teams play in the success of an organisation
