You enjoy turning data and consumer insight into product ideas, and you bring structure and attention to detail to a fast-paced creation environment.

You will learn the product creation process hands-on, building your skills in briefing, line management and business analysis with the support of experienced Product Line Managers. We look for people who represent our values: authentic, accountable, collaborative and courageous.

  • Ability to prioritize work and manage multiple workstreams and timelines
  • Ability to build trusted relationships and collaborate across teams
  • Presentation skills, with an interest in continuing to develop them
  • Working knowledge of Excel, PowerPoint or Keynote, and Miro, or the ability to learn comparable tools quickly
  • Attention to detail and strong organizational skills
  • Ability to travel up to 15% of the time, including internationally

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

You will support an assigned part of the EMEA Local Creation apparel line, carrying out key steps of the product creation process for assigned styles from line plan through sell-in. You will work across our creation tracks, from seasonal Early and Long Track product to the fast-turn Closest to Market track, with guidance from the Product Line Management team.

In this role, you will:

· Analyze sell-in, sell-through and retail sales data to spot what is working, and share findings with the team

· Gather consumer and marketplace insights, including by helping to run consumer panels and interviews, and turn them into input for briefs

· Draft product briefs and style details for assigned styles, for review by senior Product Line Managers

· Keep product information accurate in key systems, and build and maintain seasonal line and sales tools

· Coordinate and track samples through each sample round with Development and vendors

· Prepare materials for product reviews and key gates, and present your styles in team and cross-functional forums

· Track key dates, costs and margins for assigned styles, and raise risks early

· Support sell-in to wholesale and Nike Direct partners with line tools and product stories

· Organize working meetings and follow up on actions so cross-functional teams stay on track

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
