About The Position

NIKE, Inc. does more than outfit the world's best athletes. It is a place to explore potential, obliterate boundaries, and push out the edges of what can be. The company looks for people who can grow, think, dream, and create. Its culture thrives by embracing diversity and rewarding imagination. The brand seeks achievers, leaders, and visionaries. At Nike, it's about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving game. Consumer Product and Innovation Technology (CP&I) enables the digital transformation of Nike's Creation and Innovation teams through technology. In close partnership with the Business Integration (Operations) team, we use the power of digital capabilities (data, technology, processes, and talent) to fuel a consumer-led, digitally native product and creation ecosystem -- one that amplifies creativity, drives seamless creation, and unleashes obsessed consumers. We accelerate and empower a digital future from Planning to Design to Creation to Consumer. To do this, we partner closely with Innovation, Merchandising, Footwear, and Apparel teams, as well as Planning and Supply teams, and numerous other members of the end-to-end Nike value chain.

Our teams are innovative, diverse, multidisciplinary and collaborative, taking technology into the future and bringing the world with it.

They are an excellent communicator to both technical and non-technical audiences, with the ability to speak eloquently and concisely to the data, highlighting key insights to the right audience at the right level of detail. Their mission and vision align with Nike's to "Bring innovation and inspiration to every athlete in the world".
