Store Management – "Mate"

The most exciting opportunities for career growth and development are in our stores! Store management begins at the Mate level. So put on your sneakers, your thinking cap and a smile because as a store leader, you participate in all aspects of managing a Trader Joe's. From stocking shelves and merchandising to leading the Crew and, perhaps most importantly, providing our customers with knowledgeable assistance, you will refine your leadership skills and business savvy in a fun, creative, and physically active environment.

This position is perfect for college grads that aren't interested in working in a cubicle and want to put their skills and education to work in a dynamic, hands-on retail career!

Looking for an internship? Trader Joe's has a small but growing number of paid store-based internships for current college juniors. If you're interested in a career in retail management, our summer internship program could be right for you. Check out our website in early spring to see if we're recruiting interns in your area.

Still in school? Don't forget to check out store Crew opportunities. Some call it "the perfect college job!"
