WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

You will have a close connection to process & partners across multiple business units, product engines, and functions.

Integrating business reporting and data into the decision-making process and improving the way we are capturing and flagging information to better align to business goals. 

Color is one of our biggest issues at Nike, showing up as non-adoption/volatility and wasted time by teams. This project will require you to clearly define the process and tool for Apparel and Footwear teams to use for color briefing. This process needs to take into account what is happening upstream and downstream of this work as well as seasonal overlap. It also needs to take into account color design capacity for how many colors the team can actually create.
