Your influence will help spark original ideas and actionable strategies at the enterprise level, setting a clear foundation of information and insight with context and clarity that all teams can use to apply to their own business objectives.
The Category Insights team within Enterprise Insights focuses on understanding consumer behaviors, attitudes, needs, and motivations across Target's core businesses - Apparel & Accessories, Home, Electronics/Toys/Entertainment, Beauty, Food & Beverage and Essentials - and all seasonal holidays. We consult with Merchants and Marketers, providing understanding, empathy, and insight of our guests and consumers in the development of business and communication strategies. We leverage primary, secondary, syndicated and internal sales data to paint a clear picture of what our guests are doing and why, and where the greatest opportunity spaces lie for the businesses. We translate enterprise-wide insights, like macro trends, to the business categories. And we provide clear recommendations for where and how strategies need to adjust based on what we are constantly learning about our guests. At our best, we are re-framing how our partners think about the challenges and opportunities facing their businesses based on deep and differentiated insights.
