You will report to the NikeSKIMS Senior Director Product & Merchandising and partner closely with fellow Product Line Managers, Merchandising, Design, Product Development and other key stakeholders across both the Nike and SKIMS organizations. Beyond your core team, you will collaborate daily with Materials/Trims, Brand, Consumer Insights, Planning, Sourcing, and Finance to bring product to life - while acting as a senior connector between two iconic brands with a shared ambition: redefining women's active wear.
WHOWE ARE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for a Lead Product Line Manager to help shape and scale the NikeSKIMS Apparel business. This individual has a proven ability to lead product creation teams in building elevated apparel collections across the seasonal calendar - collections that fuse Nike's performance authority with SKIMS' mastery of fit, form, and feel.
In this fast-paced and highly visible role, you'll thrive in ambiguity, navigate competing priorities, and embrace the creative tension that comes with building something new between two powerhouse brands. Above all, you will be consumer-obsessed - someone who deeply understands the NikeSKIMS consumer and translates her needs, desires, and cultural cues into product she can't live without.
The ideal candidate can establish and cultivate relationships across the broader NikeSKIMS organization, while recognizing cultural, competitive, and consumer trends shaping women's active wear and lifestyle. You will leverage consumer and marketplace insights - from how she moves, to how she styles her look off-duty - and translate them into product narratives that resonate emotionally and drive commercial impact. You will lead cross-functionally to deliver the most distinctive, innovative, and elevated product in the industry, while curating a product line that feels unmistakably NikeSKIMS: strong, sexy, and made for her.

As Lead PLM, you will own an apparel category end-to-end - setting the multi-season vision, shaping line architecture, and driving seasonal execution that delivers against both brand ambition and commercial targets. You will be accountable for the long-range health of your category: how it evolves season over season, how franchises are built and scaled, and how the assortment shows up cohesively in-market over time.
You will work daily with Design, Development, Brand, Consumer Insights, and Merchandising teams to build seasonal product stories that fuse Nike innovation with SKIMS design DNA. You will lead the triad - keeping projects on pace, communicating with clarity…
