About us:

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

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. We integrate our sourcing capabilities with our propensity for quality and social responsibility to positively impact the cost and quality of our products. We care about the lives of the people who make the products Target guests love, and we're mindful of the impact our manufacturing practices have on the environment. In Sourcing, you'll apply your expertise to promote and apply responsible sourcing practices while driving the success and growth of Target's owned brands. The Sourcing team starts at the very earliest stages of product development, builds out the costing models and tracks where product stands at every step in the production cycle, from overseas shipping to our import warehouses, distribution centers and stores. And since Target is indeed a global company, you'll be part of the team that manages global relationships in partnership with the cross-functional team.

As a Close-to-Business Senior Sourcing Manager in OTC Personal Care, you will work collaboratively with a cross-functional team including Target Merchants, Planners and Product Design and Development to turn ideas into the merchandise on our stores' shelves and on our online channels.

To do this, you will determine appropriate operating model and drive sourcing strategies that align to business goals and critical category needs. 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.

Additional Responsibilities include:
  • Communicate and translate Brand, Assortment, Financial and Guest strategies to Sourcing Needs and Value Plan
  • 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.
  • Provide strategic context to and represent expertise of global sourcing partners to the Owned Brand cross-functional team.
  • Responsible for vendor placement and selection decisions
  • Advocate Target Values, being a role model of Inclusivity and Ethics for Target business and supply chain.

Team members work with their leader to determine how the role, team, partners and business determines the flexibility. For team members who work virtual based, they enter into a work arrangement that means the team member works full-time from home or a non-Target location, and do not have a workstation at their assigned HQ location, but may travel to a HQ site up to 4 times a year.
