A role within Roundel is an opportunity to be part of a strategic priority business for Target. Roundel is Target’s entry into the media business, a sell-side business built on the principles of first party (people based) data, brand safe environments and proof that our marketing programs drive business results for our clients. We operate with the ethos of trust and transparency and that media works best when it works in everyone’s best interest. At the very root of that, Roundel is here to drive business growth for our clients and redefine “value” in the industry by solving core industry challenges vs. copy current industry methods of operation. We are here to drive a key growth initiative for Target and to lead the industry to a better way of operating.
Our Strategy & Operations team is responsible for shaping Roundel’s strategy as well as identifying and executing the growth and enablement initiatives for the business. The team plays an active role in some of Roundel’s boldest and most strategic decisions working closely with senior leaders to ensure that the company stays on its fast growth trajectory.

Leading the retail media revolution as champions of bold strategic thinking, the Roundel Strategy team seeks to drive profitable growth by exploring new opportunities (e.g., markets, channels, and segments), driving strategic focus and accountability, and transforming Roundel’s business. We accomplish this through our values of building a diverse and inclusive team, connecting across the enterprise to foster strategic choice making, and driving the organization towards strategic growth opportunities.
As a Principal Strategist , you will join a highly entrepreneurial team and develop growth initiatives for the Roundel business. This will utilize your skills, experience, and talents as a part of a visionary and collegial team that combines traditional strategy consulting and innovative business design thinking. You will work on strategy consulting-like engagements in the business that identify new ideas and opportunities for transforming the business and address the most important challenges the business will face over multiple time horizons. You will be expected to understand retail and media trends, competitors, and guests to develop new concepts and formats that meet future needs in the ever- and fast-evolving, multi-channel media and retail landscape. You’ll also oversee and drive the execution of numerous strategy projects to ensure quality of design, problem solving, execution, synthesis, and communication of results.
