About us:

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

Right on pace with Target's distinctive retail brand, Target Finance and Accounting are transforming for the better. As so much more than a behind-the-scenes number-cruncher, you will be a truly collaborative partner with a seat at the table.

And you'll grow and be challenged in your career while having a healthy balance with life outside of work.

You will be the relationship manager for internal and third party vendor income recovery firms. You will indirectly manage talent by coaching and training others on the team. You will drive innovation and analytics to improve complex processes. You will enforce policies around vendor income contracts and systems, and maintain a strong internal control environment.
