About the job

Become a Part of the NIKE, Inc. Team
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.
Nike, Inc. knows how to sell sneakers. And apparel. And just about everything an athlete could need. The Nike Sales teams are the front line for getting these products into customer hands. Through sustained relationships with wholesale partners around the world — from a specialty store in Rome to a department store in midtown Manhattan — Nike Sales delivers the products, experiences and brand stories that define the brand. Nike’s success begins with the best sales team in the industry, one that deeply appreciates the consumer, the marketplace, and the products.

You'll work with Nike cross-functional teams providing insight and feedback about their respective consumer communities. You’ll work with new systems and tools and will seek ways to improve efficiency and create seamless experiences for consumers engaged with the Nike brand. You'll quickly identify sensitive issues and potential escalations appropriate for the Nike category, PR and/or legal assistance. You’ll use effective written and verbal communication skills applying sound judgment and business decisions in servicing the consumer. You will have a primary category or area of focus while maintaining an up-to-date understanding of the entire Nike product line, marketing initiatives, software services, web properties and events. In addition, you'll utilize systems and other support tools to ensure accurate responses to consumer inquiries and to capitalize on potential sales opportunities.Qualifications
