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.

You will influence store reinvestment decisions geared towards maximizing KPIs and identifying tradeoffs, through both established routines and through the development of new routines across key partners.

You will leverage your excellent communication skills for presentations to Senior Leadership across MRA, FPA and key partners.
