Job Description
Join Target Corporation, a leading general merchandise retailer rooted in Minnesota, as an Executive Assistant with the unique opportunity for flexible hours. We are actively seeking a highly organized, proactive, and exceptionally skilled individual to provide comprehensive administrative support to senior leadership within our dynamic corporate environment. This role is meticulously designed for a professional who thrives in a fast-paced setting but also deeply values work-life integration and the autonomy to manage their schedule effectively within a full-time commitment.
At Target, our enduring purpose is to help all families discover the joy of everyday life. As an Executive Assistant, you’ll be an integral part of enabling this mission by empowering our leaders to focus on strategic initiatives that drive our business forward and enhance the guest experience. Your responsibilities will span managing complex calendars, orchestrating meetings across various time zones and locations, preparing detailed and impactful presentations, and handling highly confidential information with the utmost discretion. You will serve as a crucial point of contact for internal teams, external partners, and vendors, embodying professionalism and efficiency in every interaction.
The ‘Flexible Hours’ aspect of this role is key: while you are expected to fulfill a full-time commitment, there is considerable room for adjusting your start and end times, or distributing your hours in a way that best suits both your personal needs and the dynamic demands of the executive you support. This is not a part-time position, but rather a remarkable opportunity for a dedicated professional to maintain high productivity and efficiency with an adaptable schedule. You will be empowered to take ownership of your workload, strategically prioritize tasks, and anticipate needs, ensuring seamless operations and proactive support. We are looking for someone who can seamlessly integrate into our innovative and inclusive culture, demonstrate strong problem-solving abilities, and possess a keen eye for detail. Your proactive contributions will directly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of our executive team, supporting their ability to deliver on Target’s strategic goals and fostering a collaborative work environment. If you are a seasoned administrative professional with a passion for organization, communication, and a desire for a role that offers meaningful flexibility, we strongly encourage you to apply and become a vital part of the Target team here in Minnesota.
