TK Maxx is an exciting place to work with a rapid pace, different challenges every day, and a unique culture of teamwork and collaboration. We are part of TJX, the leading off-price retailer of fashion and homeware worldwide. The other TJX brand in Europe is HomeSense, while elsewhere in the world there are Marshalls, Winners, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Sierra Trading Post and Trade Secret. TJX introduced its unique off-price business model to the UK and Ireland in 1994. The concept turns conventional fashion and home interiors retailing on its head. Our buyers are constantly visiting and building relationships with suppliers all over the world. They have the freedom to buy any products they believe are right for our customers. As a result, every day is different, whether you work in Head Office, in Distribution or on the shop floor. The off-price business model has been very successful for us and we’re growing all the time. Currently, we have over 500 TK Maxx stores in Europe, offering women’s and men’s fashion from high quality, contemporary and designer brands, all at up to 60% less than the recommended retail price. We have big plans to open more stores in the next few years – and that’s alongside our TK Maxx e-commerce website. Our way of operating means our people all have to be true collaborators and team players, thinking quickly, adapting to every situation and thriving on change. If you work for us, whatever job you do, every day is different, unexpected and exciting.
