Overview about TII

At Target, we have a timeless purpose and a proven strategy. And that hasn’t happened by accident. Some of the best minds from different backgrounds come together at Target to redefine retail in an inclusive learning environment that values people and delivers world-class outcomes. That winning formula is especially apparent in Bengaluru, where Target in India operates as a fully integrated part of Target’s global team and has more than 4,000 team members supporting the company’s global strategy and operations.

Target Merchandising is evolving at an incredible pace. We are constantly reimagining how this $106 billion retailer offers the innovative, guest-inspiring items that Target is known and loved for. Our goal is to deliver exceptional value, quality and style to elevate Target as the premier retailer in a competitive global marketplace. Through intelligent and progressive business strategies that make the most of Target’s resources and partnerships worldwide, Merchandising works across product categories to create a localized shopping experience online and in our 1900 stores.

As the leader selected for this newly created position, you will help shape the future of the Promo strategy process, tools, implementation and reporting for the Frequency businesses at Target.  You will be a trusted advisor and team leader that will help develop and refine the insights needed to improve Target’s promotional strategy across multiple pyramids, divisions and businesses.  This role will lead the team that will generate weekly and daily reporting to guide promo roadmap creation and recapping at the category level to ensure Target remains on strategy, competitive and compelling each week.

Success in this role will require a simultaneously high degree of team leadership skill, business strategy context and future process design competencies to orchestrate this new capability across the Frequency businesses.  In addition, this role will be required to design and facilitate the capability transfer and standardization of these processes from US-based teams to create a new end to end global process.

Finally, this role is expected to be the chief conduit and integrator back to the US-based leader of the business to ensure clarity, pivots, results and expectations are met on both sides.
