Target Merchandising is evolving at an incredible pace. We are constantly reimagining how this $70 billion retailer offers the innovative, guest-inspiring items that Target is known and loved for. Our goal is to deliver exceptional value, quality and style to elevate Target as the premier retailer in a competitive global marketplace. Through intelligent and progressive business strategies that make the most of Target’s resources and partnerships worldwide, merchandising works across product categories to create a localized shopping experience online and in our 1800 stores.

If so, you will have success on one of our dynamic teams.

A role with Space & Presentation means you’re on a mission to create better store space and experiences for our guest while maximizing sales. We are responsible for ensuring the right item is on the right shelf in the right store. On the Space side, we do this by using analytics to determine the appropriate footage for each assortment for every store (“adjacency”). Each store's assortment is assigned to a planogram (POG) which is developed in Presentation to ensure the localized assortment meets presentation objectives and is associated to the correct location in a store. We believe that making increasingly better space allocation and presentation decisions will increase sales, improve guest satisfaction and reduce out-of-stocks. Here, you’ll partner with and manage cross-functional project teams in Merchandising, Store Design, Marketing, Store Operations and Non-Retail Procurement from strategy to execution to achieve an inspiring and convenient in-store guest experience.

As a Sr. Specialist in Space & Presentation, you will:

• Flawlessly execute the planogram and adjacency best practices with accuracy and timeliness
• Understand business strategy and deliver on project expectations
• Manage multiple project across teams and communicate project progress proactively to the respective stakeholders
• Evaluate processes and make recommendations for improvement; strive for continuous improvement and eliminate non-value added workload
• Build business context and perform the responsibilities as a division back up whenever required
• Follow operational hygiene (e.g., project management practices, quality assurance, time tracker)
