About The Position

A role in Finance Capabilities means partnering with Finance, Technology, and Data & Analytics leaders to co-create solutions that maximize business value and enable key strategies that are critical to the enterprise and for the experiences we create for our guests. Truly an owner and expert of your tax technology solutions and underlying processes, you will set the vision, align on the roadmap and mobilize your team and partner teams to deliver needed outcomes. 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 product, technology and design work. The Tax Product Team is responsible for discovering, designing, and delivering solutions that optimize, automate, and scale tax processes across Procurement Tax, Property Tax, and Income Tax. This product portfolio focuses on the systems, data, reporting, and partner processes that help Target calculate, manage, and comply with tax obligations. This role will primarily focus on Procurement Tax, while also supporting broader Tax Product priorities across Property Tax and Income Tax as needed. Procurement Tax is a highly complex domain due to the number of enterprise systems, vendor transactions, and process handoffs involved. This role will serve as the primary product lead for Vertex O Series, the tax calculation engine used to support Procurement Tax, with a focus on how it integrates with SAP-enabled procurement and financial processes. The Product Manager will help build stronger internal product expertise, strengthen tax accuracy and controls, and partner closely with Tax, Finance Capabilities, Technology, Data & Analytics, and broader Finance teams to deliver scalable solutions. As a Product Manager, you will work in the product model and will collaborate with your product team and key stakeholders to develop a plan and business objectives (OKRs) for your respective product. You will need to build a strong knowledge of your product through product discovery to collect customer feedback and work to collect other relevant data points that explain the value and help you prioritize the direction and desired outcomes for your product. You will work in unison with engineers, UX designers, data scientists and business partners to deliver a product. You will be the “voice of the product” with your product team and stakeholders to ensure that their needs are met, and you will be responsible to maintain and refine the product backlog (create user stories & acceptance criteria) 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 sense of urgency to achieve goals and leverage resources to overcome unexpected obstacles. Core responsibilities of this job are described within this job description.
