• Provide thought leadership in how we measure a business area from the code that we use to collect data all the way to the application of the insights you derive from reports and analysis based on that data, to hold products and businesses accountable for results against goals and objectives.

You'll use your communication skills to story tell and educate business leaders by leveraging data, insights, testing and measurement plans. You will lead a team of report developers and analysts providing strategic guidance on projects and development guidance - building Target's future leaders.
