Senior Manager of Sales - Target

We’re looking for a friendly, organized, and experienced storyteller who’s got a passion for managing and getting it done. Bonus points if you relate to the following:

1) Walking through the doors of Target feels like stepping into vacation. 

2) When you close your eyes, you see red and white.

3) You know what puts the “zhay” in Tarzhay

4) You can truthfully say that you’ve never been lost in a grocery store, and yet you go to Target when you want to get lost.

5) You start stories with, “This one time, on POL…”

• You have a deep understanding of Target, including current trends and how the scale of business can impact other channels

• You connect to your buyer’s brain and heart, combining compelling data with actionable insights, and the throughline is your brand story

• You embody the Juntos es Mejor (Together is Better) spirit because you genuinely enjoy connecting with people and exchanging ideas

• ‘Results,’ ‘Driven,’ and ‘Initiative’ are three words that you live by (and maybe even sticky-noted onto your bathroom mirror at some point in your life).

• Your communication cuts through mumbo-jumbo-yodel-lay-yehaw with precision, punctuality, and poise.

• Instead of “me, myself, I,” you think, “guest, guest, and guest.”

• You have big goals, but no problem is too small for you to lend a helping hand.

• Problem-solving is your idea of a fun pastime—especially when you’ve got a taco in hand.

• Manage customer trade spend within annual spending guidelines.
