Aldi is planning to cut up to 150 technology jobs from its UK head office.
The cuts are part of the discount grocer’s ongoing shake-up of its technology and admin operations.
The supermarket chain is now consulting on the loss of the roles at its Warwickshire HQ. It follows the earlier loss of 103 jobs from the finance and administration department.
The German company is also making cutbacks at its head offices in the US, Australia and China as it centralises functions.
The Guardian reports that Aldi is outsourcing its finance, procurement and administration jobs to India through its partnership with Genpact, a New York-headquartered AI firm.
Aldi, which has 1,092 shops in the UK, is aiming to reach 1,500.
A spokesperson said: “At Aldi, our promise to customers is that we will always offer great quality products at unbeatable prices. Across our international business, we continuously review all aspects of our operations to ensure we operate simply, efficiently and use our global scale to deliver on that promise.
“We are therefore making some adjustments to the way parts of our UK business are structured. Any changes are being introduced gradually and following a consultation period. We recognise that this is difficult for those involved, so we are giving colleagues as much notice as possible, with full support available to everyone affected.”
