If you are interested in a career in Retail Merchandising, this is the program for you…this is the time to Discover Different.  

 

Merchandising Basics: Two Functions One Goal.

Merchandising is comprised of two functions, Buying and Planning & Allocation. They work together to drive sales and profit for TJX. Our Buyers are global travelers, sourcing from a universe of over 21,000 vendors and more than 100 countries to deliver amazing merchandise at exciting value to our customers every day. Planning & Allocation impacts the day-to-day management of our business by analyzing financial data, anticipating consumer buying patterns, and managing inventory levels to ensure the right merchandise gets to the right stores at the right time.

 

The Opportunity: Never The Same Day Twice.

Our Merchandising Internship opportunities exist in our Corporate Home Office in Framingham, MA, as well as our New York and Los Angeles Buying Offices. Our approach to Merchandising is unlike any other retailer. From day one and throughout the entire 12-week paid summer internship, you’ll experience classroom and on-the-job training that will help you understand how our business works and how Merchandising impacts the bottom line.

 

Throughout the internship, there are many opportunities to Discover Different—by networking and interacting with all levels of management and participating in informative workshops, projects and team-building events. As an Intern, you will be assigned to a specific category of business within Planning & Allocation or Buying. Placement is determined based on business needs. 

 

In a business where you never experience the same day twice, here is a sampling of how we’ll challenge you to think creatively and drive for results:

 

/ Analyze sales reports and make recommendations in the business

/ Create allocation strategies for our stores

/ Accompany Buyers on local or on-site vendor visits
