About The Job

As a Director of UX Design – Guest Experience, your mission is to deliver best-in-class digital shopping experiences for our guests by developing frameworks for UX sprints (i.e., discovery, co-creation, future-visioning) and delivering both functional proof of concepts and in-market launches in partnership with product, engineering, and other cross-functional peers and leaders. In this role, you will focus on deeply understanding the human need, changes in consumer trend and behavior, business opportunity, and Target’s brand potential to develop actionable, multi-horizon strategies for a small portfolio of new experiences. You will bring meaningful guest journeys and experiences to life by thinking holistically, pragmatically, and through the lens of innovation while holding a high bar for craft and quality.

While you have demonstrated experience delivering innovative experiences for digital and omni-channel consumers, you also have a proven track record of developing scaled frameworks, playbooks, and best practices for co-creation sprints and emerging interaction models across a large enterprise organization, and you will bring this approach to Target.

You understand guest needs, omni-channel retail, and the role that UX plays in driving engagement, loyalty, delight, and trust while delivering business results. You are proactive, curious, ask questions, and are driven to connect the dots. You will use human-centered design thinking, service design, and tried-and-true design craft principles to understand and prioritize guest needs, establish near and long-term design strategies, and deliver a best-in-class guest experience for Target.

In this role, you will hire, coach, and guide a small but growing team to elevate individual and overall team performance. You are an experienced and compassionate leader to team members, helping them to grow and develop new skills. You have demonstrated a strong ability to evangelize design frameworks and drive business outcomes, scale co-creation models, and inspire your teams to quickly and effectively meet changing consumer needs through the integration of business strategy and technical capabilities. You are a culture carrier, are able to articulate the strategic impact of design, while taking a test and learn approach to drive a pragmatic and results oriented culture to your team.You are an excellent story-teller, skilled at explaining design recommendations to non-design stakeholders, and are comfortable utilizing data and insights to advocate for the human need, while interfacing with multiple levels of executive leadership including Senior Directors, VPs, and SVP+ when needed.

Job duties may change at any time due to business needs.
