About The Position

NIKE’s Marketplace Investigations Team (MPI), is focused on addressing organized theft networks targeting NIKE's supply chain, factory partners, and marketplace. This role reports to the Director, Marketplace Investigations, and partners closely with Brand Protection, Grey Market Management, Loss Prevention, Supply Chain Security, Product Design, law enforcement, large customer accounts, and other areas of the NIKE organization as needed. NIKE is looking for a highly motivated, analytically minded investigator who feels adept at using technology and NIKE’s data systems to work through large datasets with a goal of highlighting links between many different evidentiary points. The ideal candidate should bring strong investigative judgment, sound decision-making under pressure, and the ability to synthesize intelligence across regions and functions to drive coordinated action. This person must be comfortable leading complex, sensitive matters that may involve supply chain theft, product confidentiality concerns, internal threat considerations, and external organized crime activity. Success in the role requires strong cross-functional collaboration, disciplined case management, and the ability to build trusted partnerships with law enforcement and internal stakeholders while protecting NIKE's legal, financial, and reputational interests. You will help propel investigative capacity at NIKE’s Phillip H. Knight Campus by coordinating complex, multi-region investigations, supporting your investigative colleagues in time-sensitive incident response, and strengthening NIKE's ability to protect its supply chain, product integrity, and marketplace posture against organized theft networks. We offer a number of accommodations to complete our interview process including screen readers, sign language interpreters, accessible and single location for in-person interviews, closed captioning, and other reasonable modifications as needed. If you discover, as you navigate our application process, that you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, please complete the Candidate Accommodation Request Form. At NIKE, Inc. we promise to provide a premium, inclusive, compelling and authentic candidate experience. Delivering on this promise means we allow you to be at your best — and to do that, you need to understand how the hiring process works. Transparency is key.

Requirements

• Strong partnership skills across law enforcement and cross-functional teams, including Brand Protection, Grey Market Management, Loss Prevention, Supply Chain Security, and Product Design.
• Excellent communication, case management, and operational coordination skills in a fast-paced environment with high reputational and evidentiary stakes.
