Operations & Logistics
Within Nike’s center-served, locally-led Supply Chain Operations organization, the Supply Chain Innovation function exists to imagine and create the future of Nike’s end-to-end supply chain, from cotton to consumer and back, in a manner that is responsive, resilient, and responsible. We do this through rigorous research & exploration, strategy development & deployment, and innovation incubation.
We are looking for an expert researcher, able to mine information from internal and external resources, synthesize the relevant findings, and articulate the conclusions in a compelling way. This role will be responsible for exploring and validating ideas as potential innovation opportunities and proposing solutions to address the most critical problems and highest opportunities areas for Nike’s Supply Chain!
The ideal candidate for this role needs to possess an immense passion for learning and converting that learning into well-synthesized, data-supported actionable insights. They must possess broad, but not necessarily deep knowledge across multiple supply chain domains – planning, sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, distribution, fulfillment – in a large-scale, global organization. They must be a systems thinker, understanding how decisions in one part of the system can affect other parts of the system and able to solve complex problems by examining them as a whole rather than as isolated parts so as to identify and address root causes through rigorous strategies. Given the visibility and scrutiny that their work will face, they must possess strong leadership & communication skills, an executive presence, and hands-on “roll-up your sleeves” mentality.
You will conduct explorations, rigorously test hypotheses, and write position papers backed by data-driven due diligence. You will develop comprehensive strategies and propose paths towards operationalizing solutions to capture the estimated value at scale. You will bring senior leaders to the cross-roads by recommending unconventional solutions to complex problems and articulating what it would take to implement them.
This role will report directly to the Senior Director of Supply Chain Innovation and will be a part of the diverse and globally distributed SCI leadership team. For specific research and strategy development projects you will be collaborating with senior leaders (Sr Directors and VPs) across Nike’s supply chain and cross-functional partners.
