In this pivotal role, you will provide high‑level, professional administrative support to two General Managers across Merchandise and Marketing, while also supporting the broader team in line with Target’s values

What will you do?

Operating in a fast‑moving environment, the Executive Assistant will be the central coordination point, helping leaders and teams stay organised, informed and prepared. Sitting at the heart of the Merchandise function, you will support multiple senior leaders with busy and often competing priorities, adapting quickly as plans shift and ensuring day‑to‑day operations run smoothly.

You will coordinate meetings and calendars, manage room bookings, respond to last‑minute changes, and organise domestic and international travel for Merchandise and Marketing teams via FCM.

• Championing Target’s vision, strategy and values across the team and wider organisation

What are we looking for?

You are a highly organised, detail‑oriented professional with excellent communication and time management skills. You thrive in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment, remain calm under pressure, and confidently manage competing priorities while exercising discretion and confidentiality at all times.

 You will also bring:

• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint and Excel
