Job Description

Target Corporation is a well-established American retail giant known for offering a broad array of products ranging from clothing and electronics to groceries and household essentials. Founded over a century ago, Target has evolved into one of the leading retailers in the United States, recognized for its commitment to providing an exceptional shopping experience through a combination of quality merchandise and customer service excellence. With thousands of stores nationwide, Target emphasizes inclusivity, community involvement, and an environment that fosters growth and teamwork among its employees. Working at Target means being part of a dynamic and values-driven company that believes in helping families discover the joy of everyday life. The company culture focuses on respect, collaboration, and continuous learning, making it an enriching workplace for team members at all levels.

This particular role is for an On-Demand Team Member (TM) at Target, a flexible position suited for individuals seeking a personalized work schedule. The On-Demand TM role allows associates to select shifts that fit their availability through the myTime mobile scheduling app, catering to those who desire flexibility and control over their work hours. Candidates can work as much or as little as they choose, with shifts varying depending on store needs and availability. However, reliability and consistent communication are critical to success in this position, as team members must actively engage by picking up and working shifts regularly (at least once every four weeks) to maintain their employment status.

It is a physically active position requiring the ability to navigate fast-paced environments and collaborate effectively with team members. Beyond just sales, the Guest Advocate plays a key role in promoting loyalty programs and supporting various fulfillment services such as Order Pickup, Drive Up, and Gift Registry. Maintaining compliance with company policies and safety regulations is also essential.

Team members in this role participate in structured training to prepare them for success and gain valuable skills such as communication, problem-solving, guest interaction, technology use, and multitasking. Flexibility is essential as schedules may include nights, weekends, holidays, and peak business periods. The role offers an opportunity to build foundational retail and customer service skills in a supportive environment that values employee development and encourages a positive work-life balance. Target also provides competitive benefits that support financial, educational, and wellness needs, making it a comprehensive career choice for those dedicated to guest satisfaction and teamwork.
