Become a Part of the NIKE, Inc. Team

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, Inc. it’s about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving game.

The first spark of a product idea sets the NIKE, Inc. Product team into motion. The team of developers, testers, engineers, designers and managers obsess over Nike’s iconic silhouettes and create groundbreaking new styles. They collaborate, ideate and refine products’ construction, fit and materials. They maintain a keen understanding of consumer and market trends. They skillfully operate at the intersection of buyer needs, technical feasibility and business objectives.

And they work lockstep with Merchandising, Design, Manufacturing and others to produce the final result: products that reflect the soul of sport and inspire athletes to reach new levels of performance.

We are looking for an exceptional teammate at the Expert Level to join the Advanced Athlete Concept Exploration team to imagine, foster and fuel emerging areas of innovation opportunities. The candidate must be strategic at operating at the intersection of athlete insights, product design, sport science, product development, and strategic business objectives. They must be collaborative in nature, able to imagine “what could be”, and able to craft the narrative for big, bold innovation concepts and make them real!

We seek a teammate with originating groundbreaking ideas, developing proof of concepts, and envisioning comprehensive product systems. They must author powerful narratives that inspire, generating interest in and building teams around big ideas. They must thrive in ambiguity, are driven by curiosity and lead with optimism. Their creative talent is equaled by their ability to think strategically and consciously nurture radical thinking.

In this role, you will lead investigation and exploration into key areas or zones of athlete performance that lead to innovation possibilities and inspiration for the innovation studio within NXT AAC. You will work collaboratively with the studio creatives to evolve a vision + landscape for key zones of exploration.

* connections to our key portfolio projects and ideas. You will work in conjunction with Space Design, Technology & Innovation leadership to advocate for key internal teammates to drive important ideas. You will need to be knowledgeable and influential across other groups/teams within NXT/Nike to identify new ideas and exploratory minded people in service of the innovation portfolio.

You will shine a spotlight on critical projects/ideas within Space; you will develop well-articulated goals, storylines, timing & landmarks to define ultimate success.
