Here, we pride ourselves on designing tangible, inspiring, and impactful solutions that serve all aspects of our business– and being a part of the team means you will play a critical role for Target’s Team Member experiences by increasing ease, simplicity, efficiency, and delight for every touchpoint.   

  

About the role:   

As a Director of UX for Enterprise & Team Member Tools you’ll serve a group of about 15 designers and design managers responsible for portfolios of Target’s internal tools and experiences. We currently have two open roles, one focused on Stores (team-member mobile experiences and point of sale) and the other on Merchandising Tools (Planning, Pricing and Owned-Brands development). 

 

Success for this leader requires the ability to understand Target’s priorities and partner with a broad set of stakeholders to establish design & experience direction. Day to day you’ll ensure your teams have what they need to thrive and deliver great work. This includes operating routines, insights, design direction, partner awareness, and a collaborative and inclusive culture.  

 

You will build trust and proactively partner with UX, Product, Tech & Business stakeholders to set the stage for your team to achieve exceptional outcomes. You are curious, ask questions, and are driven to connect the dots. As an experienced practitioner within complex, highly matrixed organizations, you will seek to co-create strategies with cross-functional partners and believe we are better building on each other’s strengths, while ensuring your team delivers high quality craft with efficiency and speed. You are adept at using data to articulate your rationale, are a clear communicator, can explain recommendations with authority and openness, and are comfortable advocating for design with partners and leaders. You have a demonstrated ability to build relationships and create impact through multiple levels of leadership including other Directors, Sr. Directors, and VPs and can maintain both drive and patience throughout the journey.  

 

As an experienced leader of people, you will coach, mentor, and guide a team of people leaders and ICs, helping them to grow and develop new skills, while increasing trust, transparency, and engagement. You have a demonstrated ability to strengthen both your own team and the overall UX organization and can thoughtfully scale your team with the right structures, roles, and responsibilities. You are comfortable leading through change and ambiguity and building a community of practice in a remote world.
