ALL ABOUT CLOSING

The Closing team continues the momentum from the team’s day of hard work to finish strong; they take care of the guest until the doors close each night. They prioritize through the eyes of the guest, have a deep understanding of each leader’s vision for their business, and have fun with the team while nailing closing routines.

At Target, we believe in our team members having meaningful experiences that help them build and develop skills for a career. The role of a Closing Expert can provide you with the skills and experience of:

• Guest service fundamentals and experience building a guest-first culture across the store
• Retail business fundamentals: department sales trends, pricing and promotion strategies, inventory management, process efficiency and improvement
• Supporting daily/weekly workload to support business priorities and deliver on sales goals
• Promoting and engaging around various benefits, offerings and services
• Communicating and interact with guests to build an inclusive guest experience
• Blending problem solving and decision making to positively impact the guest experience and resolve guest concerns
