A role in Indirect Planning is an opportunity to positively impact Target’s ability to plan for the goods and services needed to support our stores and enterprise. Through data-driven forecasting, demand planning, supplier capacity management and cross-functional partnership, Indirect Planning helps translate future business needs into actionable demand signals while proactively identifying and mitigating supply risk.

As a Sr. Indirect Planner – Building Assets, you will own planning for non-retail goods and materials supporting Target’s New Stores, Remodels and Special Projects, including Properties maintenance, replacement and end-of-life initiatives. These critical building assets can require planning horizons of up to 60 weeks and cannot easily be expedited, making proactive forecasting, supplier capacity alignment and risk management essential to supporting construction and project milestones. You will lead planning activities prior to purchase order execution, from gathering and synthesizing demand inputs through forecasting, supplier capacity alignment and risk assessment. You’ll partner closely with Indirect Inventory, who owns purchase order creation, tracking and delivery, to support successful downstream execution.

About the Role:
As a Sr. Indirect Planner, you will translate complex and evolving Properties demand into forward-looking plans that enable suppliers and Procurement partners to make informed capacity and business decisions. You’ll use data, supplier insights and business context to identify capacity constraints, surface risks early and develop mitigation opportunities. You’ll directly lead supplier capacity and risk
conversations, using your planning expertise to influence decisions and help partners understand potential impacts to project timelines. You’ll build strong partnerships across Properties, including Construction, Store Design and Engineering, and within Procurement, including Sourcing and Indirect Inventory. Your forecasts, demand insights and supplier knowledge will also help inform sourcing strategies and events.
