NIKE, Inc. does more than outfit the world's best athletes. It is a place to explore potential, obliterate boundaries and push out the edges of what can be. 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, it’s about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving game.
The first spark of a product idea sets the NIKE, Inc. Product team into motion! The team of developers, testers, engineers, designers and managers obsess over Nike’s iconic silhouettes and build groundbreaking new styles. They collaborate, conceptualize and refine products’ construction, fit and materials. They maintain a keen understanding of consumer and market trends. They strategically operate at the intersection of buyer needs, technical feasibility and business goals. And they work lockstep with Merchandising, Design, Manufacturing and others to produce the final result: products that reflect the soul of sport and encourage athletes to reach new levels of performance.
