About us:

As a Fortune 50 company with more than 350,000 team members worldwide, Target is an iconic brand and one of America's leading retailers.​

Working at Target means the opportunity to help all families discover the joy of everyday life. Caring for our communities is woven into who we are, and we invest in the places we collectively live, work and play. We prioritize relationships, fuel and develop talent by creating growth opportunities, and succeed as one Target team. At our core, our purpose is ingrained in who we are, what we value, and how we work. It's how we care, grow, and win together.

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.

You will also provide training and guidance to internal and external partners on Target import practices, Customs requirements and provide consultation to internal partners aimed at minimizing Customs duties and supporting Global Supply Chain and Logistics goals.

As a Senior Customs Special Initiatives Specialist, you'll play a key role in reducing supply chain expense by supporting Target's duty savings initiatives, including the First Sale Program, as well as maintaining Target's high degree of compliance with US Customs laws and regulations. Leverage your attention to detail through analyzing vendor documentation to ensure compliance with First Sale valuation. Drive your partnerships with vendors through new vendor training, communicating document needs and providing feedback to maintain accuracy. Identify and escalate compliance issues to the Customs Special Initiatives Senior Analyst. We'll support you along the way with onboarding, as well as personal and career development, to help you grow as a strong Senior Customs Special Initiatives Specialist.
