POSITION:

Marketing

Ultimately, you’re not only looking to start your career. You’re looking for an unforgettable journey. You want to be part of something huge. Something global. A 12-month Merchandising & Buying placement with TJX Europe is where it can all begin.

You’ll plug directly into the thrill of life with TJX Companies, Inc. – a global retail phenomenon with over 3,600 stores in nine countries across three continents and over 216,000 associates. We have an annual turnover of over $30.9 billion globally (FY16), and we’re excited about our future and confident in our ability to grow to be a $40 billion company (although we won’t stop there!).

We delight, surprise and excite our customers with big name brands at up to 60% off recommended retail prices. Buying from thousands of different designers every day, we never know what we’re going to find. It all makes for an incredibly fast-paced business that’s every bit as exciting for us as it is for our customers.

The talented people in our Merchandising & Buying teams hold the keys to the success of our unique off-price concept. On this exciting 12-month placement, you’ll discover how we source, plan and buy every day of the year, based not on a fixed plan but on responding to an ever-changing market. What’s more, you’ll play an active part in making it all happen.

Yourexperience starts with a comprehensive induction that combines classroom learning with store visits, team meetings and workshops. With the support of your mentor and buddy, you’ll develop the people skills and technical know-how of the professionals. Then it’s time to put what you’ve learned into practice. You’ll start in Merchandising, analysing sales patterns, anticipating product trends and learning to spot opportunities. Then you’ll shadow an experienced Buyer. By the end of the year, you’ll take away unforgettable experiences – and be ready for an amazing career. If you really impress, you might even land a place on our European Graduate Scheme.
