Stores Executive Leadership Internship

Experience firsthand what it's like to lead a retail team within a Target store. This internship is a paid 40 hr / week, hands-on training program to develop and prepare for your store leadership. As a Stores Executive Intern, you will get a valuable realistic preview of the Executive Team Leader role (Assistant Store Manager) over a defined period of time. Within this store management internship, you will work closely with other managers and team members to develop an understanding of how Targets retail business works and what it takes to excel in a management role. You will be introduced to multiple areas of the stores business, but the majority of your time will be spent leading amongst the team, identifying and working towards store priorities, and delivering great guest service.

This program is designed to teach individuals how to lead within a retail store amongst the store team :

  • Youll learn about how to drive guest experience and how to impact your stores financial, team, and operational performance.

  • You will spend your days learning to lead and motivate a team, drive sales results, merchandise products, and provide an exceptional experience for our guests.

  • Spending time on the store salesfloor and backroom leading amongst team members and aligning the team on daily business priorities

  • 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.
  • You are open to working a flexible work schedule with varying hours, days or shifts (including nights, weekends, holidays and other peak shopping times).
  • The good news is that we have some amazing training that will help teach you how to be an effective leader within our stores. But there are a few things you need from the get-go :

  • Previous retail experience preferred, but not required
