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!

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. You'll need to balance creative thinking with a sharp commercial focus; and grasp what eCommerce means in an off-price organisation as you home your all-round skills. 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, The Online Content team, The Site Optimisation Team, The UX Design team, The Digital Product Development team & The Digital Operations team.
