Job Description

Target Corporation is a leading retail company known for its commitment to delivering an exceptional shopping experience to families and guests across the United States. As a well-established retailer, Target operates numerous stores nationwide, offering a wide range of products including groceries, apparel, electronics, and home goods. The company values its culture and team members, emphasizing inclusion, engagement, and innovation to help bring joy to everyday life. Target is recognized for its dynamic work environment, competitive pay, and extensive benefits which support the well-being and career growth of its team members. This particular position is for an On-Demand Team Member within Target's retail stores, offering the flexibility to create your own work schedule by picking shifts that fit your availability through the myTime mobile scheduling app. The starting hourly rate for this role is $16.50 USD per hour, making it a competitive option for individuals seeking flexible work arrangements and meaningful engagement with retail operations.

The On-Demand Team Member role is ideal for those who desire flexibility in their work hours while contributing significantly to the guest experience in Target stores. Unlike traditional scheduled roles, on-demand team members are not included in the posted weekly schedules but instead select shifts offered by store leaders or other team members based on store needs. The position requires a commitment to reliable, prompt attendance anytime shifts are accepted, with a minimum work expectation of one four-hour shift every four weeks to maintain active status. On-Demand Team Members must participate in a comprehensive orientation and training program to prepare them for the responsibilities of a Guest Advocate, which centers around delivering exceptional customer service, supporting store operations, and enabling seamless shopping experiences.

In the Guest Advocate capacity, the team member will engage with customers warmly, assist with product information and store services, and facilitate smooth check-out operations by scanning and bagging purchases efficiently and accurately. The role demands excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, and the ability to adapt to a fast-paced, physically active retail environment. Team members will promote Target’s loyalty programs, assist with order pickup and drive-up services, and maintain compliance with company policies and safety standards. Providing a welcoming and helpful presence to guests and fellow team members is paramount, as is the capacity to handle various duties such as cash register operations, merchandise handling, and supporting other store functions as needed.

Target fosters team member development by offering meaningful experiences that enhance problem-solving, decision-making, and interpersonal skills. Individuals suited for this position should enjoy interacting with diverse guests, thrive in collaborative and dynamic settings, and demonstrate adaptable problem-solving capabilities. Candidates must be willing to work flexible schedules including nights, weekends, holidays, and peak shopping days to help meet store demands. This role also involves physical activities such as lifting merchandise and standing or being mobile for extended periods. Target supports inclusivity and accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act to ensure all applicants have equal opportunity for employment.

Overall, the On-Demand Team Member position at Target provides a unique opportunity to be part of a respected retail brand with a flexible, supportive work environment that values team contribution, guest engagement, and personal growth. The role is strategically designed for flexibility while ensuring team members actively contribute to delivering Target's promise of joy and quality service to all guests. Interested applicants can apply any time as there is no application deadline, reflecting Target’s ongoing commitment to welcoming new talent to their team.
