ALL ABOUT GENERAL MERCHANDISE

Experts of operations, process, and efficiency who enable a consistent experience for our guests.

As a General Merchandise Expert, no two days are ever the same, but a typical day will most likely include the following responsibilities: 

• Create an Easy, Inspiring and Friendly guest experience by delivering on the following commitments: 

• Greet: 

• 10ft: be friendly – smile, make eye contact, or wave 

• 4ft: greet the guest, smile and initiate a warm, helpful interaction 

• Help guests find what they need and/or resolve issues to ensure a smooth, easy shopping experience

• Learn and execute operational procedures, such as setting and organizing merchandise, managing product accuracy and stock levels, and maintaining sales floor areas, affect inventory management, store profitability, and product availability.  

• Follow all Target policies and safety procedures, adhere to role-specific guidelines (e.g., food safety, pricing), and help maintain a safe, compliant workplace by reporting and correcting hazards. 

• Support guest services such as back-up cashier, and digital fulfillment processes (such as picking and packing orders or delivering pickup orders to guests) and maintain compliance culture while executing those duties, such as federal, state, and local adult beverage laws.
