Aldi is hiring 100 area managers for its stores - and the roles pay up to £81,000.
The discount supermarket has opened up its training programme for area managers.
People taking part get a year of training.
After that they'll have all the skills they need to run all Aldi branches in an area.
Salaries start from £44,000 for successful applicants in the first year, with permanent contracts offered after that point.
Pay rises to more than £81,000 by the fifth year.
Aldi UK recruitment director Kelly Stokes said: "We’re on the lookout for some of the most hardworking and ambitious individuals to join our team as part of the area manager programme.
“The scheme gives individuals the chance to learn the ins and outs of the sector at one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country, while also receiving in-depth training along the way."

Aldi is also opening a new eco-friendly store in a bid to reduce carbon emissions by up to two-thirds and make recycling easier for customers.
The store - which opened this month in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire - was built with sustainable materials, such as timber fibre insulation, cement replacement concrete and recycled lighting columns.
