Right on pace with Target’s distinctive retail brand, Target Finance and Accounting are transforming for the better. You’ll have the opportunity to be a collaborative partner with a seat at the table working on many cross-functional efforts. You’ll bring your unique point of view, experience, and passion for the work to your team and internal clients.

Product Teams at Target are accountable for the delivery of business outcomes enabled through technology and analytic products that are easy to use, easily maintained, and highly reliable. Product teams have one shared backlog that is inclusive of all product, technology, discovery and design work.
The Core Finance Product Manager will work in the product model and help shape and execute the product strategy and key business objectives (OKRs) for high-value priorities that enable Target’s enterprise financial capabilities. This product encompasses the foundational systems within SAP that support general ledger, financial close, consolidation, and treasury operations. The Controllership, Payables, and Treasury organizations are key stakeholders of these products, and strong collaboration across broader Finance, including senior leaders, and cross-enterprise product teams will be essential to aligning and achieving the most important outcomes for these capabilities. Additionally, you will be responsible for discovering, designing, and delivering solutions that modernize, automate, and optimize our financial processes through SAP S/4HANA and related platforms.

You will lead a product and work in unison with engineers, UX designers, data scientists, and business partners to deliver a product.
You will be the “voice of the product” to key stakeholders to ensure that their needs are met, and that the product team is getting the direction and support that it needs to be successful. You will develop and actively understand the market, maintain a product roadmap and backlog outlining the customer themes, epics, and stories while prioritizing the backlog to focus on the highest impact work for your team and stakeholders.
You will encourage the open exchange of information and viewpoints, as well as inspire others to achieve challenging goals and high standards of performance while committing to the organization's direction.
