WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for a Director of Brand Concepts to help lead our enterprise through identifying, prioritizing and delivering Brand Concepts. Brand Concepts are our most important product-led initiatives and play a critical role in inspiring and innovating for athletes* in Nike-only ways. This individual contributor will play a pivotal role, which includes partnering 3+ years out with our advanced innovation teams to generate and identify potential Brand Concepts as well as leading cross-functional teams to ensure thesuccessful delivery of Brand Concepts in the marketplace. 

An entrepreneurial, problem-solving mentality, an ability to manage through ambiguity and a positive, team-focused attitude, are all critical to this role.

WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

This project leadership role joins a small team that works across Nike to have a large influence and impact. You will report to the VP of Brand Concepts and Olympics and work closely with the Senior Director, Brand Concepts & Olympics as well as an extended cross-functional leadership team. In this role, you will be working across multiple Consumer and Sport-focused teams and partner closely with a number of Global functions including GMs, Innovation, Design, Product, Merchandising, Brand, Planning,Operations, and Marketplace. This role will connect dots and drive clarity to ensure effectiveness, efficiency, and ultimately Brand Concepts success.
