Description As our Innovation Sourcing Project Manager, you’ll play a critical role in bringing some of the company’s most exciting footwear products to life. It’s a big job, but you’ll have a big team working with you: you’ll collaborate closely with Innovation team, Global Sourcing’s internal teams, the Innovation Transition team, Global Demand Supply Management teams, Direct Procurement team, Categories, Nike’s Liaison Offices, and our factory and material vendors.
You’ll be accountable for ensuring that our source, capacity, supply and material plans are aligned to support the smooth start-up of Innovation product production. You will work to stabilize and constantly improve key sourcing and planning processes across Nike and with our manufacturing partners to support bringing Innovation projects to scale. And most importantly, your efforts will drive to delivering our newest products to the market in-full and on-time.
Joining our Innovation Sourcing team means you can adjust to change well and deliver even better plans when change happens. You'll create and execute seasonal sourcing and supply plans for innovation products that match manufacturing capacity with changing demand plans. You’ll also develop supply chain plans that consider the addition of new manufacturing technologies, the capital required to support those additions, as well as non-standard lead times for materials and production.
If you’ve been looking to get closer to our latest innovative footwear product and have wanted to be part of the story, you’ll want to take a look. If you have a passion for sourcing and planning, understand how to ‘connect the dots’, can bring people to work together and have a drive to constantly improve and learn, we want to hear from you.
