Job Description

Target is a leading retail company that aims to help all families discover the joy of everyday life. Known for its commitment to quality and outstanding guest service, Target operates large-scale stores that offer a wide range of products, from groceries and household essentials to apparel, electronics, and more. The company prides itself on fostering an inclusive culture with values that support teamwork, respect, and innovation, creating a welcoming environment for both guests and team members alike. With a significant presence across the United States, Target continuously strives to enhance the shopping experience through a blend of physical stores and digital convenience. This role is at the heart of that mission, where every team member contributes to making shopping easy, enjoyable, and memorable for guests.

The On-Demand Guest Advocate position offers a unique and flexible work model designed to accommodate varied schedules and personal commitments. As an On-Demand Team Member (TM) at Target, you have the opportunity to create your own work schedule by selecting shifts that align with your availability using Target's myTime mobile scheduling app. This arrangement is perfect for individuals seeking a personalized work-life balance or looking to supplement their income with a flexible part-time role. The starting hourly rate for this position is $17.75, which reflects Target's competitive compensation package.

In the role of Guest Advocate, your primary responsibility is to provide exceptional guest service across various store departments and functions. You will serve as the friendly face of Target, welcoming guests, assisting with their needs, and ensuring they enjoy an outstanding shopping experience. This dynamic role requires quick thinking, effective communication, and adaptability to handle diverse guest interactions, from routine assistance to problem resolution. The Guest Advocate also promotes Target's loyalty programs, digital services, and upcoming events, encouraging guests to maximize the benefits of shopping at Target.

Your duties will encompass operating at checklanes accurately and efficiently, supporting order pick-up, drive-up, and registry services, and maintaining a clean and organized work environment. Attention to detail and ethical conduct are paramount, as you handle transactions, comply with food safety standards, and adhere to all company policies. The role also demands physical activity such as lifting merchandise up to 44 pounds, mobility throughout shifts, and the capacity to work in varying temperature conditions due to different job tasks.

Target values its On-Demand TMs as integral contributors to the team, expecting reliable attendance and engagement. You will be required to attend a Target Welcome orientation and complete a brief structured training to prepare for the role. Communication with management regarding availability and responsiveness to shift opportunities is critical. Failure to meet minimum work engagement, such as working at least one shift every four weeks or within a five-month period, may result in termination. This ensures that all team members remain active and contribute effectively to store operations.

Ultimately, the On-Demand Guest Advocate role is more than just a job—it is an opportunity to grow professionally within a supportive retail environment. Whether you are interested in building customer service skills, gaining experience in retail operations, or looking for a flexible job that fits around other commitments, Target offers comprehensive training, competitive pay, and a culture that embraces learning and development. Join Target and be part of a company that values your contributions and helps you discover the joy in everyday life while making a difference for guests every day.
