Become a Part of the NIKE, Inc. Team

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, Inc. it’s about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving game.

The NIKE, Inc. Supply Chain team is the engine that propels product around the world. Supply Chain experts ensure that every year, almost a billion units of footwear, apparel and equipment arrive at the right place, at the right time. To ensure this complex job goes off without a hitch, Supply Chain teams work with a network of more than 50 distribution centers, thousands of accountants, and more than 100,000 retail stores worldwide — making the impossible happen every single day.

As our Project/Business Director for an omni-channel, multi-category facility located in the greater Memphis area; you will contribute to Nike's growth by defining and driving the strategic agenda for continuous transformation of Nike's capabilities to better serve our athletes and consumers. In our rapidly changing world, you will help us raise the bar on Nike's end-to-end value chain expertise by working in close partnership with internal and external innovation leaders related to Sourcing, Manufacturing, Planning, Customer Service, Digital Operations and Logistics. You will build compelling strategies using Supply Chain analytics resulting in actionable execution plans, align leadership stakeholders around a common plan and roadmap and translate strategy through to measurable business outcomes. You will bring performance management capability to the next level: drive a forward looking, actionable view of supply chain performance, drive through surface statistics to root cause and action, transform information reviews to decision venues, spur the organization to continuously meet and beat daring performance targets and deliver visibility to key accomplishments. Define and evolve various operating models to manage large scale initiatives related to continuous improvement and ensure direction of the program remains aligned with leadership expectations.
