Our teams work with the agility our mission requires, and we constantly come together to implement new processes in record time.

If so, you will have success on one of our dynamic teams.

Product Teams at Target Corporation are accountable for the delivery of business outcomes enabled through technology and analytic products that are easy to use, easily maintained and highly reliable. Product teams have one shared backlog that is inclusive of all products, technology and design work.

Target's Global Supply Chain & Logistics organization is modernizing the capabilities that move product through our warehouse network and out to stores, guests, carriers, and downstream partners. The Warehouse Management Outbound Capabilities portfolio owns the products that plan, execute, optimize, and monitor outbound work across warehouse operations.

This product space includes outbound planning, work release and flow management, picking, packing, sortation, staging, trailer and load build, shipping, carrier and transportation handoff, exception management, and operational visibility. These capabilities intersect with inventory accuracy, warehouse execution, labor planning, automation, transportation logistics, store replenishment, online fulfillment, and end-to-end retail flow.

About the role

As the Director of Product Management for Warehouse Management Systems you will be the primary product leader driving modernization of outbound warehouse capabilities across Target's warehouse network. You will set the strategic product vision, own the multi-year roadmap, establish quarterly OKRs, and lead product managers/product owners to deliver measurable outcomes quarter over quarter.

You will partner deeply with Operations partners, Product Design, UX, Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, Data & Analytics, Program, and Supply Chain leadership to bring modern outbound capabilities to life. You will be expected to understand the operational realities of warehouse execution while shaping scalable products that improve throughput, accuracy, cost, reliability, team member experience, and guest and store outcomes.

This role requires a product leader who can operate strategically and pragmatically by applying strong product discovery and agile practices while also making disciplined trade-off decisions in a high-complexity modernization environment with fixed timelines, operational readiness windows, and enterprise dependencies.

• Translate warehouse operations needs into clear product capabilities across outbound planning, work release, pick, pack, sort, stage, load, ship, dock and trailer handoff, exception handling, and outbound visibility.
• Define quarterly Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), prioritize the shared product backlog, and ensure product teams deliver quarter-over-quarter progress against business outcomes.
• Lead product discovery with warehouse operators, field leaders, support teams, stores, transportation partners, and enterprise stakeholders to validate problems, hypotheses, and solution concepts before committing engineering capacity.
• Partner with Product Design and UX to create intuitive, efficient, and scalable experiences for warehouse team members, leaders, support teams, and operational partners.
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of product managers, set clear expectations, manage product capacity, and build a culture of accountability, learning, transparency, and delivery excellence.
• Partner with engineering, architecture, data, analytics, automation, and operations teams to modernize legacy capabilities and deliver scalable solutions across SaaS, custom-built applications, integrations, and warehouse execution platforms.
• Make disciplined trade-off decisions across scope, schedule, operational readiness, risk, technical debt, and business value in a modernization environment with fixed timeline commitments.
• Use data and analytics to assess product health, warehouse performance, adoption, operational reliability, cost, throughput, accuracy, and guest/store impact; communicate progress and recommendations to senior leaders.
• Drive alignment across adjacent domains, including inventory, inbound, replenishment, fulfillment, transportation, labor, automation, and end-to-end retail operations.
• Manage product investment choices and resource allocation in partnership with senior leadership and finance partners.
• Identify and remove execution barriers across teams, pyramids, and external partners while maintaining a strong focus on reliability, usability, maintainability, and operational resilience.
