  • Ability to utilize Target's video surveillance system
  • Ability to timely and accurately document cases using case management systems

As a Target Security Specialist, no two days are ever the same, but a typical day will most likely include the following responsibilities :

  • Conduct merchandise theft recoveries and provide theft apprehension support as needed, strictly adhering to AP policies.
  • Prevent the ft and shortage at the front of the store by performing merchandise receipt checks while adhering to AP policies, as well as recognizing and communicating trends.
  • Submit appropriate documentation in the case management system for all incidents following AP policy and procedures.
  • Understand and appropriately use Target's video surveillance system.
  • Demonstrate a culture of ethical conduct, safety, and compliance.
  • Work in a safe manner at all times; comply with all safety policies, best practices, and training; report hazards and correct where possible.
  • All other duties based on business needs.
  • This may be the right job for you if :

  • You enjoy interacting and helping others - including guests that shop our store and fellow team members you work with.
  • You thrive in a fast-moving, highly active, and physically demanding role, where teamwork, flexibility, and creative problem solving are key to success.

  • Apprehend subjects in accordance with company policy
  • Scan, handle, and move merchandise efficiently and safely, including frequently lifting or moving merchandise up to 40 pounds
