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

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. Are you a creative problem solver who loves to see your work translate into real results? Can you collaborate effectively, execute a plan efficiently and positively influence how Target chooses and presents the right product in the right place at the right price? 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. Our global team is 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 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 Business Partner in Space & Presentation, you'll take the lead with your roundtables to drive adjacency and planogram (POG) strategies for Target's Seasonal store spaces using space analytics and insights, ensuring your strategies ladder up to Merchandising and Enterprise Quarter strategies. You will own weekly and end of season recaps of adjacency and POG performance for multiple seasons and provide test recommendations to optimize seasons year over year. You'll coordinate and execute Strategy and Transition meetings to develop space strategies, recommend timing and actions that meet the needs of the total business, recommend strategies to efficiently get in and get out of seasons in stores, and lead your global team through the strategies you set to create adjacency maps and planograms for every store.
