Target is a well-established retail company committed to bringing joy to everyday life by serving guests and communities with integrity, respect, and inclusivity. Known for its vibrant store environments and extensive product offerings, Target prides itself on creating a positive shopping experience that blends in-store convenience with digital innovation. As a prominent player in the retail sector, Target emphasizes teamwork, exceptional guest service, and continuous learning and career development for its team members. Employees at Target benefit from a culture that values diversity, supports flexible work arrangements, and encourages personal and professional growth.

This specific opportunity is for the position of On-Demand Guest Advocate, a unique role designed for those who seek flexibility in their work schedule while contributing significantly to the customer experience in the store. An On-Demand Team Member (TM) at Target enjoys the ability to choose shifts that fit their personal schedules via the myTime mobile scheduling app. This dynamic scheduling model caters especially to individuals who may not want traditional fixed hours but still desire meaningful employment with structured onboarding and training. The position starts at an hourly rate of $15.00 USD, reflecting Target's commitment to fair and competitive compensation.

In the role of Guest Advocate, team members are the face of Target's service culture, focusing primarily on welcoming guests, assisting with their needs, and enhancing their overall shopping journey. These advocates engage with guests both in person and through digital services to ensure seamless experiences at checkout lanes, guest services, order pickup, and more. This position requires a high level of interpersonal communication and multitasking to effectively meet guest expectations and company standards. Successful Guest Advocates are those who thrive in fast-paced environments, readily adapt to varying tasks, and approach each interaction with empathy and professionalism.

The role involves a variety of duties that embrace both the physical and mental aspects of retail work. Team members are expected to maintain a clean and safe workspace, handle cash transactions accurately, and support compliance with company and legal regulations. They also serve as knowledgeable resources on Target's loyalty programs, digital tools, and store events, promoting guest engagement and loyalty. As such, this job is ideal for individuals who enjoy working in a team-oriented setting, have a keen eye for detail, and possess the ability to manage multiple responsibilities efficiently.

Beyond direct guest interaction, Guest Advocates contribute to the operational success of the store by assisting with order pick-up, drive-up orders, returns, and maintaining organized areas. The position also calls for a proactive attitude toward safety and ethical conduct, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local policies regarding store operations. Given the flexibility this role offers, team members must be responsive to communication from leadership regarding shift availability and work a minimum number of hours in a specified timeframe to maintain employment.

Training and onboarding are essential parts of becoming a successful On-Demand Guest Advocate. Candidates will attend a Target Welcome orientation and participate in a short-term structured training program that equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel. After initial training, team members continue to select shifts through the myTime scheduling app, offering them control over their work-life balance while fulfilling store needs.
