Description:
Lead Product Owner - Financial Planning

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. You'll have the opportunity to be a collaborative partner with a seat at the table working on many cross-functional efforts. You'll bring your unique point of view, experience and passion for the work to your team and internal clients. In Finance, you'll be an integral voice in discussions that lead to Target's unparalleled shopping experience. Your analysis and recommendations will be directly applied to critical business decisions, from sales to merchandising and beyond. Within Accounting, you'll enjoy the interesting challenges of the competitive retail space, and you'll have a 360-degree impact-rather than on just one part of the business. You'll see your contributions come to life in virtually every area of this dynamic enterprise. And you'll grow and be challenged in your career while having a healthy balance with life outside of work.

A role in Finance Capabilities means providing world-class client service that maximizes the business value of enterprise and technology strategies, including the Finance systems portfolio. You'll become a process and product "CEO," owning your vision, telling your story and helping others understand and support the product roadmap.

About the Job:

The Financial Planning Product is responsible for discovering, designing, and delivering solutions that optimize, automate, and transform financial forecasting and planning processes. These solutions will leverage both technology and data expertise to deliver the optimal solution. This team heavily relies on SAP Analytics Cloud (Planning) to deliver against their strategic goals. The Financial Planning & Analysis organization is a key stakeholder of this product, though strategic collaboration across broader Finance will be a key to achieving the required outcomes.

Product Teams at Target are accountable for the delivery of business outcomes enabled through technology and analytic products that are easy to use, easily maintained and highly reliable. Product teams have one shared backlog that is inclusive of all product, technology, discovery and design work.

As a Lead Product Owner, you will work in the product model and will partner to develop a comprehensive product strategy, related roadmap, and set key business objectives (OKRs) for your respective product. You will need to leverage the knowledge of your product, as well as, customer feedback and establish other relevant data points to assess value, develop business cases, and prioritize the direction and desired outcomes for your product. You will lead a product and work in unison with engineers, UX designers, data scientists, data analysts, and business partners to deliver a product.

You will be the "voice of the product" to key stakeholders to ensure that their needs are met and that the product team is getting the direction and support that it needs to be successful. You will develop and actively understand the market, maintain a product roadmap and backlog outlining the customer themes, epics, and stories while prioritizing the backlog to focus on the highest impact work for your team and stakeholders.

You will encourage the open exchange of information and viewpoints, as well as, inspire others to achieve challenging goals and high standards of performance while committing to the organization's direction. You will foster sense of urgency to achieve goals and leverage resources to overcome unexpected obstacles, and partner with product teams across the organization to help them achieve their goals while pursuing and completing yours. Job duties may change at any time due to business needs.

About you:
  • 4-year college degree (or equivalent experience)
  • 6+ years of retail experience or equivalent domain experience
  • Strong communication skills
  • Experience with technology and ability to facilitate communication between business and technology teams
  • Experience working in an agile environment (e.g. user stories, iterative development, scrum teams, sprints, personas)
  • Proven ability to lead a body of work with cross functional partners
  • Ability to breakdown big ideas to drive incremental value and create roadmaps to long term success
  • Superior analytical and quantitative skills
  • Curiosity/zest for learning - including iterative learning, appropriate risk-taking and innovative thinking, and interest in Product and Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) space
  • Experience working with SAP Analytics Cloud (Planning) solution, or experience with other Financial Planning technology solutions
