About Us

To match the signature style and passion of Target's distinctive and beloved retail brand, Target Legal Affairs is a dynamic and deeply knowledgeable team of legal pros, each with valuable expertise from several disciplines. Whether specializing in government affairs, policy, risk management, regulatory compliance, ethics, or employee and labor relations, this team advocates for Target and its business plans in communities across the nation and works across the entire company to provide internal clients with cohesive guidance. We are committed to being internal experts to both internal and external entities on key issues that affect Target's ability to productively do business. We focus on defining, investigating, anticipating and ultimately mitigating risk in all its forms. We apply our grasp of brand law by overseeing, maintaining and ensuring correct, consistent and authorized use of Target's signature Bullseye logo, assets and other trademarked material. We help protect Target and its subsidiaries by applying our comprehensive understanding and interpretation of the laws that govern our stores, distribution centers and corporate locations. Here, you'll enjoy working autonomously with a healthy work-life balance. Your passion for learning the business and building relationships with the senior leaders and key business partners that you support will be key to tackling the ever-changing legal challenges we face in a dynamic and fast-paced retail landscape. From brand and patent law to contract development and negotiations, you'll be challenged and gratified by a role with Target Legal Affairs.

A role in Reputation Management means you will help facilitate how the company prepares for, responds to, and monitors reputation risk. As Sr. Consultant, Reputation Management, you will wear many hats and be an integral player in supporting the Reputation & Risk (R&R) program, which is the company's central structure for preparing for potential reputation risks and responding to materialized risk events. Some of the specific things you may be responsible for include:

  • Drafting and maintaining R&R program materials, including best practices and templates
  • Managing and innovating the tools and technology systems used to support the R&R program and Reputation Management activities (i.e., Salesforce, Smartsheet, SharePoint)
  • Helping evolve and execute reputation measurement and reporting practices
  • Supporting reputation issues management by conducting both real-time and ongoing research, monitoring and analysis
  • Supporting our reputation stakeholder engagement function by aiding in stakeholder identification, assessment, monitoring and reporting
  • Leading corporate governance research and monitoring work
  • Assisting with R&R communication content development and distribution
  • Engaging partners from across the enterprise as we work together to support key business initiatives, and provide valuable insights and analysis
