1. HELLO
We’re TJX Europe, part of an exciting
global company, TJX Inc. in the US,
with stores in the UK, Ireland, Germany,
Poland, Austria and the Netherlands.
Ready?

effective solutions that protect People, Assets and Brand

This introduction will tell you more about us, our parent
company, TJX Companies, Inc., and why working
with us could be the fast-paced, challenging
and rewarding career you’ve been looking for.
2. WHO
ARE WE?
TJX Europe is an important part of a bigger
success story, TJX Companies, Inc. TJX is the
leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions
in the US and worldwide. With almost four decades of
experience, TJX’s vast network is knowledgeable and robust.
We currently have stores in eight countries.

and three e-commerce sites, TJX buys from over 17,000
vendors in over 100 countries. Already number 103 in the
Fortune 500 listings TJX is a successful, growing business.
SO, WHAT DO
WE DO?
We’re a multi-channel European off-price retailer, offering
customers great value on ever-changing selections of brand
name and designer products at prices up to 60% less than
the RRP (Recommended Retail Price) and at a significant
discount to the prices in a department store or on the high
street. We’re passionate about delighting our customers with
amazing quality, value and unique finds.
3. A loss can happen at any point in the supply chain.
So the work we do in Loss Prevention impacts every
part of our business.
It’s less about security and more about managing change to make us as efficient as
possible. At TJX, we move millions of units every single year – and we want to do it in
the most efficient way we can. That’s where you come in.
So, what does loss prevention involve?
Crime and Analytics Management
You’ll be coming up with solutions that make an impact.
As loss can happen at any point across our supply chain we need
to be looking at the big picture. And when we say big, we mean it.
This could be solving strategic problems and managing scale across
our supply chain to ensure business efficiency. Or, it could be working
with business partners and suppliers, leading teams to find the root
cause of an issue before implementing an effective solution.
Another exciting part of Crime and Analytics Management
is E-commerce. And it’s growing fast at TJX. Our team is
designing new systems to improve process flow, working with
central intelligence to manage online fraud and looking at how
best to reduce crime and safeguard our e-commerce business.
To do this, you’ll be trained to use the latest technology.
Many projects will involve leading a team to hit targets
and maximising their performance.
Security & Loss Management
We cover all kinds of areas. We’re there to improve the way
we do things, to help maximise profit, and to protect our stores,
processing centres and the people we serve. To do this, we
need to work closely with all our teams and business partners
to anticipate, identify and solve any issues that arise. We work
to have balanced strategies to deter, detect and ultimately
prevent crime.
You could be managing groups of stores or processing
centres to make sure they’re hitting targets, working with
local managers and other parts of the business to help them
control loss and deter crime. When we go into a store or
a processing centre, we’re the ones who can analyse the
situation – looking at the details as well as the bigger picture.
And it’s up to us to guide the store or processing centre on
how they can reduce loss and deter theft.
4. WHAT WOULD
IT BE LIKE TO
WORK FOR US?
We’re all about our people. That’s why, when you join, you’ll begin
a journey of personal discovery and development and you’ll have
the chance to make an impact from day one.
Loss Prevention lets you experience every part of our business and
no day is the same. Whether you step inside any one of our stores,
or our Processing Centres, you’ll feel a real buzz and energy with
everyone taking pride in what they do.
We work closely as a team and value the contribution that each person makes.
We’re a large, global business with a close, family culture and feel. We share a
commitment to results, integrity, open-mindedness, strong relationships and humility.
These define who we are and inform the decisions that we make.
WHAT COULD THIS
MEAN FOR YOU?
Loss Prevention gives you the opportunity to experience the off-price model in action – and to make
your mark on it. It’s an impactful and important part of TJX.
You could be managing groups of stores or processing centres to make sure they’re hitting targets,
designing solutions to deter crime, or solving problems strategically across the supply chain.
As part of the Loss Prevention team, you’ll be working alongside, and learning with the best in the business.
We take a leading focus on loss prevention and how we operate; therefore our commitment to ourAssociates
and making sure they receive the right development is paramount.
Our training is exceptional and ongoing. It all starts with an in-depth induction. You’ll meet our team and
our different business areas and work with latest technology.
5. Where do you go from here?
That’s an excellent question. A career in loss prevention can really take you
places. Because our business and loss prevention activities cross borders,
there are opportunities throughout Europe. You can be placed in the UK,
Poland, Germany, Austria or the Netherlands - what’s certain is that we’re
going to continue to expand across Europe and you’ll keep growing with us.
