Target Security Specialist

Starting hourly rate : $20.25 USD per hour

Working at Target means helping all families discover the joy of everyday life. We bring that vision to life through our values and culture.

Assets Protection (AP) teams function to keep our guests, team, and brand secure and lead through crisis events. They protect profitable sales by mitigating shortage risks, preventing, and resolving theft and fraud to ensure product is available for our guest. They also build relationships inside and outside of Target, including store leaders and public safety officials, inclusive of law enforcement.

The role of a Target Security Specialist can provide you with the :

  • Skills using intelligence-led tactics to keep team members and guests safe and secure
  • Experience in crisis response, safety, and crowd management; providing support to both guests and team members
  • Skills in de-escalation as well as experience with physical security controls and culture
  • Ability to utilize Target's video surveillance system
  • Ability to timely and accurately document cases using case management systems

As a Target Security Specialist, no two days are ever the same, but a typical day will most likely include the following responsibilities :

  • Create a welcoming experience by greeting guests at the front of the store
  • Promote a physical security culture for our team members and guests by assessing and maintaining safe and secure standards throughout the store, including exterior property
  • Respond to and accurately document security incidents in a timely manner
  • Appropriately respond to guest issues to provide a safe and secure environment for our team members and guests
  • Leverage de-escalation tactics and resources when responding to security incidents across the store
  • Conduct merchandise theft recoveries and provide theft apprehension support as needed, strictly adhering to AP policies
  • Prevent theft and shortage at the front of store by performing merchandise receipt checks while adhering to AP policies, as well as recognizing and communicating trends
  • Submit appropriate documentation in the case management system for all incidents following AP policy and procedures
  • Understand and appropriately use Target's video surveillance system
  • Demonstrate a culture of ethical conduct, safety, and compliance
  • Work in a safe manner at all times; comply with all safety policies, best practices, and training; report hazards and correct where possible
  • All other duties based on business needs

    • This may be the right job for you if :

  • You enjoy interacting and helping others - including guests that shop our store and fellow team members you work with
  • You thrive in a fast-moving, highly active, and physically demanding role, where teamwork, flexibility, and creative problem solving are key to success
  • You are open to working a flexible work schedule with varying hours, days, or shifts (including nights, weekends, holidays, and other peak shopping times)

    • The good news is that we have some amazing training that will help teach you everything you need to know to be a Target Security Specialist. But there are a few skills you should have from the get-go :

  • Must be at least 18 years of age or older
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Meet any state or local licensure and / or other legal requirements related to the position
  • Welcoming and helpful attitude toward all guests and other team members
  • Ability to communicate on multiple frequency devices and operate handheld scanners, and other technology equipment as directed
  • Effective communication skills
  • Work both independently and with a team
  • Manage workload and prioritize tasks independently
  • Capability to remain focused and composed in a fast-paced environment and accomplish multiple tasks within established timeframes

    • We are an awesome place to work and care about our teams, so we want to make sure we are clear on a few more basics that we expect :

  • Climb up and down ladders
  • Apprehend subjects in accordance with company policy
  • Scan, handle, and move merchandise efficiently and safely, including frequently lifting or moving merchandise up to 40 pounds
  • Flexible work schedule (e.g., nights, weekends, and holidays); reliable and prompt attendance necessary
  • Capable of working in and exposure to varying temperatures, humidity, and other elements while performing certain job duties
  • Ability to remain mobile for the duration of a scheduled shift (shift length may vary)
