About Us

Working at Target means helping all families discover the joy of everyday life. We bring that vision to life through our values and culture. Learn more about Target here. 

Target Creative is the in-house creative engine that shapes how our brand shows up across every touchpoint. Our team blends craft, culture, and emerging technology to deliver guest-centered stories at scale.

We’re looking for a strategic, creative-minded Lead Program Manager to lead cross-functional initiatives that modernize how Target Creative teams work. Sitting within the Creative Strategy & Transformation team, this role is focused on the enablement of our creative teams — helping translate future-forward tech and tooling into tangible practices that enhance storytelling, design, and production across our ecosystem.

This role is deeply rooted in empathy and connection. The success of our creative technology programs depends on trust, understanding, and communication — not just process. You'll lead with curiosity and respect for how creative teams work today, and help design the path to how they could work tomorrow.

While you’ll work closely with partners across Marketing Capabilities, Product, and Engineering, this role does not own platform sourcing, governance, or enterprise compliance. Instead, your mission is to activate possibility for creatives and accelerate adoption through strong storytelling, thoughtful listening, and change enablement rooted in real creative needs.
