## Description

As a Senior Designer on the Architecture team, you will operate at the intersection of design and technical execution-translating guest experience, brand, and business strategies into architecturally sound, buildable solutions.

This role is responsible for taking design intent and adapting it to real-world conditions-developing site-specific architectural solutions that respond to location, code, cost, and constructability constraints while preserving and elevating the integrity of the design. You will bring a clear design point of view and apply it to shape architectural outcomes that are both compelling and buildable.

You will own discrete projects and contribute to broader programs across new stores, remodels, prototype evolution, and innovation efforts. You will work with a high degree of autonomy while building strong cross-functional relationships, navigating ambiguity, and making thoughtful decisions that move work forward.

What you'll do:

 * Translate brand, design principles, and loosely defined briefs into compelling, site-specific architectural solutions with a strong point of view
 * Develop building elevations, site adaptations, and jurisdictional submittal packages that respond to local requirements while maintaining and enhancing design intent
 * Represent and advocate for design intent in conversations with municipalities, developers, and internal partners-balancing brand, budget, and regulatory needs
 * Advance design work from Feasibility and Schematic Design through Construction, guiding consultants to ensure alignment with both design intent and technical requirements
 * Review and provide direction on construction documentation, applying sound judgment to maintain quality, consistency, and constructability without compromising design quality
 * Support projects through construction by helping resolve field questions and adapting solutions as needed while preserving the core design vision
 * Balance design ambition with cost, schedule, and operational realities-making informed tradeoffs that prioritize what matters most for the guest experience
 * Apply design solutions within scalable systems and prototypes while contributing to their evolution and elevating overall design quality
 * Collaborate across Architecture, Construction, Engineering, Store Planning, Real Estate, and Brand/Marketing to align on cohesive outcomes and bring diverse perspectives into the work
 * Communicate ideas clearly and persuasively through drawings, models, and storytelling, tailoring approach to different audiences and situations, This position will operate as a Hybrid/Flex for Your Day work arrangement based on Target's needs. A Hybrid/Flex for Your Day work arrangement means the team member's core role will need to be performed both onsite at the Target HQ MN location the role is assigned to and virtually, depending upon what your role, team and tasks require for that day. Work duties cannot be performed outside of the country of the primary work location, unless otherwise prescribed by Target. Click here if you are curious to learn more about Minnesota.
