Whether serving guests directly or enabling stores, headquarters, or distribution centers, your work will translate into measurable value across Target’s technology and retail ecosystem. 

As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll work in the product model to lead a unified strategy, roadmap, and outcomes (OKRs) for your product.

TAP provides a unified experience across public and private cloud to over 5,000 builders—from application developers to fellow service providers to data scientists—who work at a scope and scale that makes Target thrive. 

You will be the “voice of the product” to key stakeholders, ensuring their needs are met and that the product team is receiving the direction and support required for success. You will actively develop your market understanding, maintain a clear product roadmap, and prioritize the backlog around customer themes—focusing on the highest-impact work for your team and stakeholders. 

You will promote the open exchange of information and perspectives, inspiring others to achieve ambitious goals and high standards of performance while aligning to the organizations direction.
