ALL ABOUT GENERAL MERCHANDISE  

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

Teams in General Merchandise (GM) prioritize guest experience while blending completion of tasks that ensure product is available and easy to shop – replenishment, pricing and signing, setting, and maintaining the sales floor and the backroom. The GM teams also execute inbound, outbound, and fulfillment responsibilities.   

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 General Merchandise Expert can provide you with the skills and experience of:

• Experience in retail business fundamentals, including department sales trends, inventory replenishment, and process efficiency and improvement  

• Executing daily/weekly workload to support business priorities and deliver on sales goals  

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
