About the job
If you’re ready to make an impact and help deliver meaningful outcomes in support of our Consumer Direct Acceleration, join our Finance Engineering Team! We combine contemporary technology, agility, and a collaborative culture to deliver solutions that enable Nike, Inc.'s leading products and services. As a team, we are responsible for developing, deploying, and maintaining solutions that support complex Financial Planning processes and deliver the fusion of business objectives, and technical architecture and tools in operationally excellent, Financial Planning solutions, globally. Working with our team will be rewarding, challenging, and definitely not just another job.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We’re looking for a Lead Software Engineer to be a foundational part of our Financial Planning & Performance Management Engineering Team. In this role you will collaboratively work as part of an increasingly high performance, globally-distributed, agile EPM Modeling squad to meet the evolving Financial Planning technology needs of Nike’s Finance organization. The candidate needs to:
* Be well organized and model documentation best practices for others
* Have a very solid understanding of Finance Planning processes and concepts, especially the Income Statement
* Efficiently collaborate and navigate through ambiguity to solicit and gather the right information, at the right detail
* Leverage a learning mindset, excellent analytical skills, diligent nature, and discerning judgement to solve business problems with technology
* Model technical best practices and implementation principles, providing coaching to others
* Distill and communicate technical outcomes and their value to the squad and other stakeholders, globally
* Lead design, execution, lifecycle management, support, and optimization of prioritized planning solutions
* Inspect technical outcomes to ensure quality standards
WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON
As a Lead Software Engineer for one of our EPM Modeling squads, your primary role on the team will be to gather requirements, communicate technical outcomes, and lead solution design, build, and optimization of Anaplan Financial Planning models critical to a significant, strategic, long-term impact on Financial Planning stakeholders, aligned with the strategic objectives of NIKE and future architectural standards. You will help ensure we are delivering performant, scalable, extensible and sustainable solutions by being hands-on: doing work yourself, performing peer reviews, providing technical feedback, and ensuring detailed solution documentation. Longer-term, you'll also assist in the assessment of impacts and maintain team awareness of changes to other solutions that may affect Financial Planning capabilities and ensure there is no degradation of service. In addition, you'll ensure technical support and problem resolution of the squads scope meets service level expectations and advise process changes necessary to provide the highest service quality possible.
WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH
As a team, we regularly interact with Finance and Technology partners, globally. To identify and ensure we are aligning appropriate technology outcomes with prioritized leadership initiatives, you'll partner with Technology Product, Program, Architecture and Engineering peers and leaders. This alignment is the foundation of your regular partnership with your peer Lead Software Engineer, at WHQ, and the squad's Technical Product Managers (TPMs), one in India and one at WHQ, with whom you will identify, communicate, plan, deliver, support, and optimize financial planning solutions, globally and at scale, along with engineers/modelers within and adjacent to this EPM Modeling squad. The Financial Planning & Performance Management Engineering Team is investing in a significant presence at NIKE's India Technology Center (ITC), with the majority of the engineering/modeling squad to locate in close proximity. Your partnership with your Lead Software Engineer peer and TPMs, and combined leadership and working hour flexibility, is the key connective tissue necessary to harmonize a WHQ-led roadmap with a global delivery model that maximizes ownership, autonomy, empowerment and establishment of reasonable working hours for the ITC squad members.
