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 based on guest needs, have a deep understanding of each leader’s vision for their business, and have fun with the team while executing 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:
