OUR RECORD OF SUCCESS IS ONLY MATCHED BY YOUR POTENTIAL FOR IT.

As an ALDI District Manager, you’ll start with a year of training, work with a great team and manage millions in sales. You’ll also drive a company provided car, either an Audi A3 or BMW X1, and earn $80,000 to start plus a possible $5,000 signing bonus, with the potential to earn $113,000 in five years (salaries/bonuses will vary by market).

But it’s not all about what we can offer you. First and foremost in this role, you’ll lead. You’ll lead in the way you show your team, your stores and your customers what it means to work with passion and integrity. You’ll lead by putting their needs first, facilitating collaboration at every turn and sharing your drive for success. You’ll work hard and we’ll help you sustain a level of performance higher than you ever thought possible.

If you’re ready to join a company whose plans for the future are as ambitious as yours, consider ALDI.
