TFG Vacancies 2026: Fashion & Retail Job Openings

If you love fashion and enjoy fast-paced work, checking out the latest TFG Vacancies is a smart career move. The Foschini Group (TFG) is one of the biggest retail giants in South Africa. They own over 30 different store brands, including well-known names like Sportscene, Markham, @home, Sterns, and Jet.

Because they have thousands of stores inside almost every shopping mall across the country, their hiring needs never stop. They are constantly looking for energetic floor staff and sharp managers to keep the clothing racks full and ensure customers leave happy.

Working at TFG gives you a solid foot in the door of the retail world. Employees usually get decent basic salaries, big staff discounts across all their brands, and clear chances to get promoted from the shop floor straight into store management.

Let’s break down the types of fashion retail careers they are hiring for right now, what the pay looks like, and how you can actually get your CV noticed by their store managers and HR teams.

Available Job Positions (2026 Breakdown)

Because TFG handles everything from designing the clothes to selling them online and in physical stores, their job openings usually fall into three main areas:

1. Store Operations & Customer Service

• Roles: Sales Associates, Cashiers, Store Managers, Loss Prevention Officers.
• The Job: Running the actual shops. You will ring up customers at the till, help them find the right shoe sizes at Sportscene, organize the fitting rooms at Foschini, or manage the staff shifts for the whole store.
• Requirements: A Matric certificate is required for entry-level jobs. Managers need previous experience running a fast-paced retail store and hitting sales budgets.

2. Head Office Buying & Planning

• Roles: Fashion Buyers, Merchandise Planners, Trend Forecasters.
• The Job: Deciding what goes on the shelves. Based mostly in Cape Town, you will look at global fashion trends, decide what styles the stores should stock next summer, and negotiate prices with clothing factories.
• Requirements: Degrees or Diplomas in Retail Business Management, Fashion Design, or Supply Chain. You need a very strong head for numbers and trends.

3. Logistics, IT & E-commerce

• Roles: Warehouse Pickers, App Developers (Bash), Delivery Coordinators.
• The Job: Moving the stock. You will pick and pack online orders in the massive distribution centres, write code for the Bash shopping app, or make sure the delivery trucks get stock to the malls on time.
• Requirements: Warehouse workers need basic physical fitness. IT and App roles require formal computer science or software development degrees.

The Reality of Retail Work

1. The Retail Hours:

Retail does not stop for weekends. If you work in a store, you will be on your feet all day. You have to work most weekends, public holidays, and the entire December festive season. Taking leave during peak shopping times is usually not allowed.

2. The Push for Store Accounts:

TFG makes a huge amount of its money through credit (TFG Money store accounts). As a cashier or sales assistant, you are not just selling clothes; you are actively required to convince customers to open store accounts or buy cellphones.

3. Stock Management:

Fast fashion means the stock changes constantly. If you work in the back room, you will spend hours receiving massive heavy boxes, tagging every single item with security sensors, and getting them onto the shop floor as quickly as possible.

How to Apply Correctly? (Multiple Channels)

TFG uses a central online recruitment system for almost all of its permanent jobs, from the shop floor all the way to the head office.

Method 1: The TFG Recruitment Page (Main Route)

This is the best way to apply for all permanent roles.

1. Step 1: Go to their official TFG careers portal.
2. Step 2: Search through the open jobs. You can filter by specific brands (like searching only for Sportscene jobs) or by your city.
3. Step 3: Click on the job and register a profile on their system.
4. Step 4: Upload your CV as a PDF.

Crucial: Make sure your CV clearly highlights any past experience you have with retail POS (Point of Sale) systems, cash handling, or hitting sales targets.

Method 2: In-Store CV Drops (For Casuals)

• Action: Hand your printed CV to the Store Manager.
• Why: The online system is for permanent jobs, but right before the December holidays, store managers get desperate for casual “flexi” workers. Dropping off a neat, printed CV directly to the manager of your local store in October or November is still a very effective way to get holiday work.

Method 3: LinkedIn for Head Office Roles

• Action: Follow the TFG corporate page on LinkedIn.
• Why: If you want to be a Fashion Buyer, a Merchandise Planner, or an IT Developer at the Bash division, TFG’s corporate recruiters post these high-level jobs directly on LinkedIn. Applying through LinkedIn is the fastest way to get noticed by head office.
