2025 Marketing & Merchandising Placement (12 months)
Want to get your career off to a flying start? The sky’s the limit with TUI. We’re the world's number one tourism business, operating in around 180 destinations worldwide, which means limitless global opportunities for you and your future.
As part of our placement programme, you’ll spend one invaluable year working right at the heart of our business – with real responsibilities, and the chance to work on real projects. You’ll gain a unique insight into our exciting and dynamic industry, with exposure to many other functional areas and senior colleagues. You’ll have lots of fun during your time with us, and we’ll ensure you get the support you need every step of the way.
We have various roles on offer across our Marketing and Merchandising Teams. The Digital Sales & Merchandising role sits within our expanding Digital team.

The First Choice Social Media role sits in the First Choice marketing team. It’s an exciting time for First Choice as the business is still fresh post launch with a very exciting few years ahead. Already an established player in travel, the brand, led by a young, dynamic and forward-thinking leadership team, is back with an impact. Whilst still a valued part of the TUI family, the new First Choice has its own distinct personality and culture and we’re looking for talented people with a curious outlook, energetic mind-set and can-do attitude to help bring it to life.
