About Us

As a Fortune 50 company with more than 400,000 team members worldwide, Target is an iconic brand and one of America's leading retailers. Working at Target means the opportunity to help all families discover the joy of everyday life. Caring for our communities is woven into who we are, and we invest in the places we collectively live, work and play. We prioritize relationships, fuel, and develop talent by creating growth opportunities, and succeed as one Target team. At our core, our purpose is ingrained in who we are, what we value and how we work. It's how we care, grow, and win together.

Target Creative's Brand Design Lab is the in-house creative team dedicated to bringing one of the world's most beloved and recognizable owned brands to life. Our mission is to inspire a sense of joy, wonder and excitement, and to take our guests—and ourselves—somewhere new. We tell a compelling and cohesive brand story. Some of the brands we have built are Good & Gather, Favorite Day, Ever Spring, Hearth & Hand, Cat & Jack, Goodfellow & Co. Operating as one fully integrated team in both the U.S. and India, the team comprises the best and brightest talent to execute market-leading creative strategy, packaging design & brand building. We are proud to say that we have not just one or two, but eleven brands with sales above a billion dollars each. Our owned brands have grown by 18% YOY and contributed to USD 30 billion in sales last year.

About this Opportunity

As a Lead Associate Creative Director, Brand Design Lab, you will lead the creative direction for owned brand identities and packaging design, while working collaboratively with creative teams and with various partners. Target Creative's Brand Design Lab collaborates with brand management, packaging, and product development teams to create differentiated owned brands across various categories to feed into our core business strategy. The Brand Design Lab brings creative solutions to elevate our owned brands through distinct brand identities, packaging design and messaging.

You will take forward Target's Brand aesthetic to infuse the work with an unmistakable Target approach. You will also provide the creative vision to guide and inspire the creative team to innovate, conceptualize and execute creative solutions. There is also a need to challenge conventional thinking to meet and exceed business and marketing objectives. One of the core expectations is the ability to multi-task and collaborate with partners across creative and marketing disciplines. You will be responsible for providing clear, actionable, and timely creative feedback and meet all project expectations. You will need to demonstrate a high level of accountability and be comfortable in guiding the work and presenting creative concepts to partners across the organization. Critical to this role is the ability to collaborate across multiple partner group and time zones and being in a constant state of learning. In this position, you'll ultimately champion Target's Creative strategies, goals, and objectives while championing our purpose and culture.
