As a Senior Product Manager on Team Planit, you will lead the strategic development, discovery, and delivery of advanced Commercial Financial Planning and Forecasting capabilities that support Target’s long-range growth strategy.

Planit’s Commercial Financial Forecasting capability enables smarter, data-informed decision-making by delivering accurate projections across the core elements of Target’s Commercial P&L —including sales, inventory, cost of goods sold (COGS), and gross margin. These insights empower teams to plan more effectively, optimize resource allocation, and align financial strategies with enterprise goals.

By enabling better budgeting, resource allocation, and strategic alignment, your work will play a critical role in driving financial visibility, accountability, and sustainable business growth across the enterprise.

You will work in the product model and will partner to develop a comprehensive product strategy, related roadmap, and set key business objectives (OKRs) for your respective product. You will need to leverage the knowledge of your product, as well as customer feedback and establish other relevant data points to assess value, develop business cases, and prioritize the direction and desired outcomes for your product. You will lead a product and work in unison with engineers, UX designers, data scientists and business partners to deliver a product.

You will be the “voice of the product” to key stakeholders to ensure that their needs are met, and that the product team is getting the direction and support that it needs to be successful. You will develop and actively understand the market, maintain a product roadmap and backlog outlining the customer themes, epics, and stories while prioritizing the backlog to focus on the highest impact work for your team and stakeholders.

You will encourage the open exchange of information and viewpoints, as well as inspire others to achieve challenging goals and high standards of performance while committing to the organization's direction. You will foster a sense of urgency to achieve goals and leverage resources to overcome unexpected obstacles, and partner with product teams across the organization to help them achieve their goals while pursuing and completing yours.
