About the Job – Director, Product Management, Core Data and Decision Intelligence
As Director of Product Management for Core Intelligence, you will help define and build the intelligence foundation powering the future of Target’s store operations and experiences.
You will lead a portfolio of highly technical products that bring together signals from operational systems, store environments and enterprise platforms; transform those signals into trusted context; and use data science, AI and intelligent systems to generate actionable recommendations at scale.
Your work will enable Target to move beyond static rules and fragmented signals toward context-aware, continuously learning intelligence that can power multiple Store products, workflows and experiences.
Based in Target in India, you will lead Product Managers and partner deeply with Engineering, Data Science, AI/ML, UX, Store Operations and experience Product teams to identify high-value problems, develop reusable intelligence capabilities and translate technology investments into measurable outcomes for Target’s stores.

- Translate enterprise and Stores priorities into clear product strategies, investment choices, roadmaps and measurable outcomes.
- Balance near-term business value with development of durable intelligence capabilities that can scale across Target.
Product Discovery & Intelligence Capability Development
- Develop a deep understanding of Target’s store operating environment and identify opportunities where intelligence can meaningfully improve decisions and experiences.
- Establish strong discovery mechanisms across Product, Engineering, Data Science, UX and Operations to move from problems to hypotheses, experiments and scalable solutions.
- Drive rapid experimentation, simulation and learning to validate opportunities before scaling investments.
- Build feedback loops that allow intelligence capabilities to learn from outcomes and improve over time.
- Ensure intelligence products are designed for trust, explainability, interoperability, scalability and long-term extensibility.

- Create clear product ownership, accountability, success metrics and decision rights across the portfolio.
- Build a strong Product organization in Target in India with deep technical, strategic and business acumen.

- Establish product operating mechanisms that enable empowered teams while maintaining alignment across a complex ecosystem.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Influence
- Build strong partnerships across Engineering, Data Science, AI/ML, UX, Store Operations and experience Product teams.
- Influence senior leaders and partners across geographies without relying on direct authority.
- Translate complex technical and intelligence concepts into clear product and business narratives.
- Navigate ambiguity and competing priorities to create alignment around strategic investments.
- Help establish clear boundaries and interfaces between reusable Core Intelligence capabilities and the experiences they power.
About You
- 4-year college degree or equivalent experience; advanced degree in technology, engineering, data science, business or a related field is a plus.
- 8+ years of Product Management experience, preferably across highly technical, data-intensive, AI/ML, platform or enterprise products.
- Demonstrated experience defining product strategy and leading complex product portfolios.
