What you'll do:

Our Off-Price business model is unlike any other retailer, so we'll make sure you have the right classroom and on-the-job training to give you a head start on a long-term career in Merchandising. At TJX, Merchandising is comprised of two divisions - Planning & Allocation and Buying; together they work to drive sales and increase profit.

Our Buyers are global travelers, sourcing from a universe of over 22,000 vendors and more than 100 countries to deliver amazing merchandise at an exciting value to our customers every day. They collaborate with Planning & Allocation to create the treasure hunt experience that we're known for.

Your career will begin in Planning & Allocation as an Allocation Analyst. In this role, you will be assigned to a specific product area and will be empowered to help drive sales by allocating the exciting mix of product that our Buyers have purchased.

Responsibilities may include:

  • Analyze sales trends and reports to anticipate consumer buying patterns and product trends
  • Create and implement allocation strategies for our stores and / or e-commerce sites
  • Ensure the right merchandise gets to the right stores at the right time for several multi-million-dollar product classifications
  • Visit TJX stores and competitors to analyze / evaluate the product mix
  • Resolve merchandise issues with our Distribution Centers, Buyers, and Vendors

A variable work schedule is part of the role and based on the needs of the business.
