Becoming a Target team member means joining a community that values different voices and lifts each other up. Here, we believe your unique perspective is important, and you'll build relationships by being authentic and respectful. As we accelerate our enterprise AI and automation strategy, we are investing in intelligent platforms that bridge the physical and digital worlds, enabling better decisions, greater operational efficiency, and recent AI-powered capabilities across the enterprise. Team overview: The Automation Platform team is building the next generation of intelligence platforms that transform how Target understands, operates, and optimizes its physical environments. We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the discovery, strategy, and execution of Target's Operational Digital Twin platform. Role overview: As the Sr Product Manager for Operational Digital Twin and Decision Intelligence, you will own the product vision, strategy, discovery, and execution for a new platform capability that helps Target understand, optimize, and automate physical operations. At the core of this capability is an Operational Digital Twina dynamic digital representation of Target's stores, supply chain facilities, assets, inventory, equipment, and workflows. By integrating signals from IoT devices, sensors, computer vision systems, enterprise applications, and operational technologies, the platform provides near real-time visibility into operational performance and generates intelligence that improves decision making. Your mission is to transform operational signals into operational intelligence and decision intelligence that improve efficiency, execution, and business outcomes across Target's physical operations. Your initial focus will be to define the North Star vision, identify and validate high-value use cases, launch pilot solutions, and establish the platform foundation required to scale from 0 1 incubation to enterprise adoption. Strategic Context This role contributes to four strategic outcomes: - Operational Digital Twin Creating a digital representation of physical operations. - Operational Intelligence Understanding what is happening across operations. - Decision Intelligence Improving operational decisions through data and AI. - Autonomous Operations Enabling increasingly AI-assisted operational workflows.
