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 21,000 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.
