- Advocate for guest communication needs and priorities, helping guests discover relevant products, build confidence and consideration, move from inspiration to exploration, and reduce decision friction
- Conduct basic user experience research with the guidance of the UX research team, collaborating with researchers to identify larger research needs and gaps in understanding our guest behaviors and desires.
- Learn from business data and guest insights to help inform your content.
- Participate in critiques, workshops, and skill-development opportunities.
- Be part of a rapidly growing culture and team committed to fostering belonging, accessibility, and authenticity for all Target guests.
- Contribute to a culture of human-centered practice within UX, product, and engineering teams
