Senior UX Content Designer, Top of Funnel
About The Position
As a Senior Content Designer within our Guest Experience UX Team, you’ll be at the forefront of Target’s evolving digital landscape, shaping it for our guests and contributing to business growth. In this role, you will work closely on Target’s flagship experiences that help inspire, educate, and inform guests across the shopping journey — from home page and browse, to category pages, personalized recommendations and shop destinations across surfaces. You’ll be embedded with product designers, product managers, business partners, researchers, and developers to deliver best-in-class content at scale, informing not just UI, but prototypes, design and content systems. You’ll also have the support of the content design team to compare notes on systems building, messaging, language patterns, and how content comes to life across different surfaces and areas in the funnel. You’ll be empowered to not only create clear and engaging content for existing experiences, but to envision entirely new experiences and proactively seek out ways that content can bring joy and ease into the lives of our guests. As a member of the team, you will contribute to advancing the broader practice of UX at Target through influence, impact, and craft, while also educating cross-functional teams when needed.
