Why join the people who are TK Maxx and HomeSense?
Simple.
For the adventure.
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 placement* with TJX Europe is where it can all begin.
For one year, you'll experience the thrill of life with TJX Companies, Inc. - a global retail phenomenon with over 3,200 stores in six countries and over 190,000 associates. We have an annual turnover of over $27 billion, globally (FY14) and we are excited about our opportunities for the 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 men and women in our Merchandising and Buying teams hold the keys to the success of our unique off-price concept. In 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 the ever-changing market. What's more, you'll play an active part in making it all happen.
Your experience starts with a comprehensive induction, combining classroom learning with store visits, team meetings and workshops. With the support of your mentor and buddy, you'll start to develop the people skills and technical know-how of the professionals. Then it's time to put it 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.
You don't need to be studying for a particular degree, although strong numerical and analytical skills are crucial. What we're looking for is the ability to think creatively and strategically. You'll thrive in a constantly changing working environment where decisions happen quickly and everyone works together to make the incredible possible. Because our business crosses borders, we're keen to hear from people who have European language skills or experience of living and working in Europe - but these things are not essential. Perform like a star, and you could be offered the chance to shine even brighter on our European Graduate Programme once you have completed your final year at university.
Apply for our July or September intakes soon so you don't miss out.
*Please note, to be considered for the Placement Programme you need to be eligible to undergo a 12-month Industrial Placement as part of your third year at university.
