About the Program

The eCommerce team at TK Maxx works hard to land that experience with our customers every day, exciting them about the product that has just arrived, encouraging them to buy it before it sells out and delivering an experience on site that is comparable to the joy of shopping with us in store! We do that across 3 transactional sites in the UK, Germany and Austria balancing a European outlook with the need to engage a local audience with relevant product and content.

As part of the department, you'll be collaborating with partners in the broader eCommerce team as well as other functions within the business, daily. You'll contribute to developing strategy and delivering our tactics.

Our off-price business moves faster than many other retailers, so you need to be agile and ready for every challenge that comes your way!

During the 12-month programme, you'll get assigned to one of the key teams within the eCommerce department and will partner and collaborate with the rest of the function across the year. The eCommerce teams include:

• The Online Trading team
