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.

Guide startup business operations through seed to early scale and lead successful mainstreaming transition to partners in SEC/functional process leads
Own organization and project management of pilot preparation, operations/execution, measurement, learnings capture, and reload using Agile techniques (backlog, 2 week sprints, burn down tracking, daily scrum/stand ups, sprint retros, etc)

QualificationsMBA or MSc in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Operations, Logistics, or similar focus from a top-rated university plus 3-5 years of professional experience, preferably in sporting goods industry or management consulting
Ability to communicate complex concepts simply, verbally and in writing. Ability to create high quality project reports and simple, succinct, visually compelling PowerPoint presentations
