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 show you what a long-term career in Merchandising can look like. At TJX, Merchandising is comprised of two divisions - Planning & Allocation and Buying; together, they work to drive our sales & 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.

Our Planning & Allocation teams manage the day-to-day management of our retail chains by analyzing financial data, anticipating customer buying patterns and managing inventory levels to create the treasure hunt experience we are known for.

Our Merchandising Internship opportunities exist in our Corporate Home Office in Framingham, MA, as well as limited opportunities in our New York and Los Angeles Buying Offices.

As a Merchandising Intern you will be assigned to either Planning & Allocation or Buying, and your 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
• Accompany Buyers on local, virtual, or on-site vendor visits
• Strategize with Buyers before vendor visits and debrief post-visit
• Visit stores to analyze our product mix as well as our competitors
• Resolve merchandise issues with our Distribution Centers, Buyers, and Vendors

With our corporate office located in Framingham, MA, reliable transportation is required as TJX is not easily accessible by public transportation. A variable work schedule is part of the role and based on the needs of the business. You may need to travel to area stores/local vendors, different offices, or work hours that do not coincide with others or the public transportation schedule.
