About us:
Target is an iconic brand, a Fortune 50 company and one of America's leading retailers.


Right on pace with Target's distinctive retail brand, Target Finance and Accounting are transforming for the better. As so much more than a behind-the-scenes number-cruncher, you will be a truly collaborative partner with a seat at the table. You'll bring your unique point of view, experience and passion for the work to your team and internal clients. Within Finance, you'll enjoy the interesting challenges of the competitive retail space, and you'll have a 360-degree impact—rather than on just one part of the business. You'll see your contributions come to life in virtually every area of this dynamic enterprise. And you'll grow and be challenged in your career while having a healthy balance with life outside of work.


Are you ready to excel in the fast-changing retail environment? Are you curious about the tools and technology that will take Finance into the future? Then you'll enjoy joining our team. The Finance Risk & Controls team strives to build a world-class internal control environment by providing insights and thoughtful partnership, enabling the enterprise to develop innovative risk management solutions. Here, you'll collaborate to assess risk and design controls in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Your ideas will be critical to ensuring the success of Target's business initiatives and core retail operations.


As a Sr Manager, Risk & Controls, you will lead our compliance program with respect to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

You will drive the determination of key business processes, systems and controls to be included in our SOX program, collaborate with internal and external partners in developing testing strategies and will lead the evaluation of testing exceptions and severity of deficiencies. You will leverage and build storytelling skills to educate business partners, both internal and external, on key risks related to Target's evolving process and technology landscape. This includes coordination of SOX Steering Committee meetings and senior management's reporting to the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. You will build partnerships across other business and risk teams to promote a strong risk-intelligent culture at Target.  Job duties may change at any time due to business needs.
