WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
As a part of the Product Business Integration 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 from previous years:
- Identify three key business use cases in Product Merchandising. Then, maximizing the source of truth POS data set, demonstrate the feasibility and any advantages of using Chata AI to quickly and accurately answer business questions.
- 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.
- 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.
