    Merchandising Internship Opportunity

    Application Closes April 12, 2019

     

    WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

    This Merchandising Internship opportunity exists in our Corporate Home Office in Framingham, MA. Over the course of this 12 week paid summer internship, you will learn and gain valuable experience and ultimately decide if a career in Merchandising at TJX is right for you. From day one, our Interns experience on-the-job and classroom training that will help them understand how our business works and how Merchandising impacts the bottom line. Throughout the internship, there are many opportunities to network and interact with all levels of management and participate 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 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 onsite vendor visits
    • Visit stores to analyze our product mix as well as our competitors
    • Resolve merchandise issues with our Distribution Centers, Buyers, and Vendors
    • Work with other Interns to complete a project within your business and present to upper management

     

    WHERE COULD IT TAKE YOU?

    This is a well-respected and highly sought after Internship, so our selection process is very competitive. Based on your performance, you may have the opportunity to be recommended for a second internship or to join our Merchandising Development Program upon graduation.
