About Us

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

Fueling the continued success of one of the world's most beloved and recognized brands is a distinctly capable, creative and innovative Marketing organization. Target Marketing is well known for inspiring and surprising guests, and we pride ourselves in connecting them to the products and experiences they expect and deserve from Target. We study our guests to discover new needs and insights, and then craft every interaction to build brand love and our business. We are market experts who insist on a clear and cohesive understanding of our business objectives, guest segments and behaviors, strategies and tactics, overcoming obstacles and measuring success.

Leveraging our collective assets and fostering a healthy, supportive and open team culture, we deliver a holistically gratifying experience that guests can only get at Target.

Roundel is Target's entry into the media business; an advertising sell-side business built on the principles of first party (people based) data, brand safe content environments and proof that our marketing programs drive business results for our clients. We operate with the ethos of trust and transparency and that media works best when it works in everyone's best interest. At the very root of that, Roundel is here to drive business growth for our clients, and redefine "value" in the industry by solving core industry challenges vs. copy current industry methods of operation. We are here to drive a key growth initiative for Target and to lead the industry to a better way of operating within the media marketplace.

As a Roundel Sr. Marketing Manager, you are responsible for building recommendations on an in-market strategy that drives awareness, and most importantly, drives incremental revenue. You will develop and deliver Roundel's marketing plans, while constantly evaluating where Roundel should be showing up in the industry with our key messages based on industry trends. In addition to sales enablement planning and field marketing, you will collaborate on our external communications plan, including speaking engagements and PR initiatives in partnership with Target's corporate communications team. This critical role will have accountability for ensuring we have the right message in the right place at the right time, and measuring its effectiveness. You will manage the annual marketing budget with Finance, including reconciling at key time points.
