About Ahold Delhaize
We’re Ahold Delhaize, one of the world’s largest food retail groups and a leader in both supermarkets and e-commerce. Together with our 17 strong local retail brands in the United States, Europe and Indonesia, we make a meaningful difference in the lives of our brands’ customers, our people and the world around us. We offer a highly dynamic, international work environment in which our associates thrive.

Your new work environment
As Consultant Transformation, you will be joining our HR Tech, Data Innovation & Associate Experience department. Our HR department is the driving force behind the people in our organization. Powered by our ‘Best Talent’ strategy, our HR teams ensure we’re fully aligned to attract, retain, and develop people to perform to the best of their abilities. As Ahold Delhaize and the field of HR evolve continuously, we encourage our associates to grow with us. Personal development and learning are vital. The more we learn, the better we’re able to ensure that the rest of the organization learns and develops too. We’re collaborative, ambitious, and open, taking ownership of our work, and continuously challenge ourselves and each other. That said, we work hard and have lots of fun along the way, too.

You will be given the freedom and responsibility to take ownership of your work and broaden your horizons by working together with knowledgeable colleagues from different countries who have an abundance of expertise in many areas. We will continually invest in you and help you build on your talents and skills for the future.
