If so, you will have success on one of our dynamic teams.

Pricing is a critical element in our commitment to affordability and is a key lever in the overall success and health of our business.

You'll work closely with our merchants and brand management teams to develop the pricing strategy for each of our owned brands in the portfolio to ensure they are positioned to deliver value and loyalty to Target. You'll refine your approach based on market conditions and business performance to drive improvement to KPIs for pricing while you learn the merchant businesses, strategies, and objectives to inform your approach.

You will have the opportunity to support new and ongoing pricing initiative by using and applying key learnings from the cross functional work you lead. Through your coordination of cross-functional reviews you will have the opportunity to support new and on-going initiatives. Using your strategic problem-solving skills, you will drive process improvements and identify business risks and opportunities based on financial and operational performance. Leverage your strong critical thinking and communication skills to educate merchants and other partners by influencing pricing decisions and driving collaborative dialogue and processes between Merchants, Marketing and the Pricing and Promo Center of Excellence.
