About Us:

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

Target Global Supply Chain and Logistics is evolving at an incredible pace. We are constantly reimagining how we get the right product to the right guest even better, faster and more cost effectively than before. We are becoming more intelligent, automated, and algorithmic in our decision-making, so that no matter how guests shop-in stores or on Target.com-we deliver the convenience and immediate gratification they demand and deserve. We are on a mission to win decisively over any competitor, with a seamless and superior guest service experience unlike any they can offer. Our teams work with the agility our mission requires, and we constantly come together to implement new processes in record time. So we're looking for exceptional people who are proactive, creative, independent, innovative, risk-savvy and comfortable working in varying degrees of ambiguity. Are you a critical thinker who seeks the root cause and can analyze both qualitatively and quantitatively? Are you a creative problem-solver who simplifies problems, quickly identifies solutions, commits to a plan and then positively influences others to execute it? If so, you will have success on one of our dynamic teams.

A role in Indirect and Reverse Supply Chain means managing the inbound throughput and placement of the indirect materials that are required to operate all Target stores and distribution centers. This also includes the business management and logistics operations for guest returns. Reverse and Returns include the backward movement of all goods including logistics, secondary market sales, and damaged/defective product management. Indirect includes order execution and movement, warehousing/storage, operations such as facility and 3PL management and inventory management including demand management and forecasting.

As a Sr. Logistics Business Partner, Reverse Warehouse Operations, you will be responsible for our Return Center operations, problem solving, and continuous improvement routines for all process paths and program types (B2B, D2C, Target+, RTV, .com/mail in returns, etc.). You will provide ongoing support for our field operations team and 3PL partners and serve as a critical partner within a larger CFT team partnering across broader Indirect and Reverse Logistics teams. This role will require analytical thought and root-cause analysis to drive process improvements for our return center operations. This role will also take lead on IRL sweep operations partnering cross functionally with DC Field teams, DC operations, and Store Operations to effectively move product downstream into the return centers. Core responsibilities are described within this job description. Job duties may change at any time due to business needs.

About you:
  • Four-year degree or equivalent experience
  • 3+ years in operational roles
  • Strong strategic, financial, and analytical skills; can easily translate data from an array of sources into insights and recommendations
  • Strong collaboration skills to partner with cross-functional teams
  • Entrepreneurial spirit with strong initiative and willingness to take risks
  • Good reasoning, conflict-management, analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills
  • Flexible, resilient, and comfortable in 'grey areas' that are constantly changing
  • Strong critical-thinking skills with a continuous improvement mentality
