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.

Consumer Creation Operations (CCO) exists to serve, enable, and lead Nike's Consumer Creation team to the future. We drive data and digital capabilities, process and continuous improvement, and excellence in business operations. Our Operations team vision is to be outstanding and improve the collective potential of Consumer Creation. CCO works closely with Nike's Consumer Teams ( Men's, Women's, and Kids' ) and our Functional Teams ( Footwear, Apparel, and Design ) . These are unique operations roles centered around driving future ways of working for our Consumer Creation community.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

Our Consumer Creation Operations team is looking for creative, solution-focused thinkers, who know how to bring a project to life and execute their vision. Being a self-starter is very important, as the projects can offer a lot of ambiguity. It is important that you are willing to ask questions, gather & accept feedback, and seek help when needed.

Leading with a digital mindset , you will engage the Global Consumer Creation community on critical initiatives and projects on behalf of CCO to bring our growth strategies to life.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE:

As a part of the Consumer Creation Operations team, you will work on projects that focus on accountability and consistency of process, tools, results, and communication across an entire function, with a focus on simplification. You will have a close connection to process & partners across multiple business units, product engines, and functions. You will need to be curious and proactive in learning about the organization, as well as finding opportunities to share your knowledge. You will need to collect and understand requirements from partners to craft and support the most efficient ways to work, inclusive of scaling best practices. You will work in ambiguous, highly collaborative environments, and bring creative and analytical thinking to the solutions you build. Example projects may include:

• Identify three key business use cases in Product Merchandising. Then, maximising the source of truth POS data set, demonstrate the feasibility and any advantages of using Chata AI to quickly and accurately answer business questions
• Color is one of our biggest issues at Nike, showing up as non-adoption/volatility and wasted time by teams. This project will require you to clearly define the process and tool for Apparel and Footwear teams to use for color briefing. This process needs to take into account what is happening upstream and downstream of this work as well as seasonal overlap. It also needs to take into account color design capacity for how many colors the team can actually create
• Integrating business reporting and data into the decision-making process and improving the way we are capturing and flagging information to better align to business goals
