Merchandising at Target is evolving at an incredible pace across our broad product portfolio as we create Guest-centric, localized shopping experiences online and across our 1800+ stores. We are constantly reimagining how, as a $100 billion retailer, we offer the innovative and inspiring items that Target Guests love. Our goal is to deliver exceptional value, quality and style to elevate Target as the premier retailer in a competitive global marketplace. We do this through intelligent and progressive business strategies that make the most of Target's resources and partnerships worldwide.

A role in Owned Brand Sourcing means having a hand in developing products that have a positive impact on people and the planet.

You will lead building value-driven negotiation strategies to achieve financial goals. You will be responsible for partnering with worldwide sourcing peers, Quality Assurance, and Responsible Sourcing to deliver high-quality, responsibly sourced products at a great value to our guests. You will negotiate with Target's suppliers to arrive at mutually beneficial solutions.

  • Ownership of both Apparel & Accessories for both Adult & Children's

  • Leverage understanding of cross functional team goals, risks and priorities to own the development of a sourcing approach that achieves profit, impact, and product goals.

  • Bring global sourcing market expertise to the Owned Brand cross-functional team to guide decisions and optimize the owned brand business.
