  • Responsibilities

    Success is always in style at TJX! Continue to explore career opportunities at TJX, a Fortune 100 company and the leading off-price apparel and home fashions retailer in the U.S. and worldwide. At TJX, we are proud that, for 40 years, we have been providing amazing value to our customers, but the merchandise we sell is just part of our story. We believe our Associates bring our business to life, and we aim to support you by making TJX a terrific place to work. We are committed to leveraging the differences among our Associates, and believe that the diverse skills, experiences and background that you bring into the organization will help us continue to succeed.

    Our retail chains include TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra Trading Post and Homesense, as well as tjmaxx.com and sierratradingpost.com in the U.S.; Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls in Canada; TK Maxx in the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Poland, Austria and the Netherlands, as well as Homesense and tkmaxx.com in the U.K.; and TK Maxx in Australia. With over $33 billion in sales, more than 3,800 stores, and 235,000 Associates in 2016, TJX is an exciting place to grow your career!

    WHAT’S THE OFFER?

    This pathway will prepare you to run your own store, or give you the tools and knowledge to explore an alternative pathway such as a career in retail operations. It blends training with on-the-job experience to make sure you have the skills and knowledge to become one of our future retail leaders. That starts with your initial weeks participating in intensive training to help you understand our business, before you take on an Assistant Manager role in your first store, under the mentorship of the Store Manager.

    As an Assistant Manager you’ll learn how to tackle everything from recruiting and developing your team, to creating the treasure-hunt experience for our customers, to making merchandising decisions. Deliveries arrive at our stores every day (and we never know what’s coming), and inventory gets turned around quickly, so you’ll gain that experience at greater speed and with more variety than in any other retail environment.

    WHERE COULD IT TAKE YOU?

    Once you’ve gained in-store experience and built on your success, you will be best prepared to move into a Store Manager role. Other career paths include opportunities in store operations, field management, distribution, or the corporate office. However, many of our people find their niche in store management and stay with us for their entire careers.
