NIKE is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. That brand dominance is achieved through every facet of our business – from innovative products to five-star mobile apps to amazing consumer experiences. Nike’s Worldwide Marketing team powers storytelling and experiences that bring the brand strategies to life for our consumers. We employ the most creative people in the world, and then give them the support to constantly innovate, iterate, and form lasting relationships with consumers. Our teams are innovative, diverse, multidisciplinary, and collaborative, taking marketing into the future and bringing the world with it.  

As a Marketing Vanguard Program Graduate Intern, you will join us as a strategic contributor. You’ll be expected to engage deeply with real business priorities, collaborate with experienced leaders and cross‑functional partners, and take ownership of meaningful work that supports brand and business objectives. The internship combines hands‑on, on‑the‑job experience with leadership mentorship and targeted development, preparing high‑performing interns for continued growth and future leadership opportunities within Nike. 

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH:  

As a Marketing Vanguard Program MBA Intern, you’ll be embedded within a Nike Marketing team aligned to a critical brand or business priority and will own and deliver a defined project that supports the team’s strategic objectives. While intern placements are determined later in the process, all MVP interns collaborate closely with experienced marketers, cross‑functional partners, and senior leaders across the organization—working at the intersection of brand strategy, consumer insights, creativity, and execution. Through experiential project work, functional programming, and leadership engagement, you’ll gain exposure to the breadth of Nike’s marketing ecosystem while contributing work that influences how the brand shows up for consumers. This role is designed for individuals who are ready to lead, make informed decisions, and drive meaningful impact—not simply observe how great marketing gets done. 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: 

We are looking for MBA candidates who are digital‑first marketers with a strong foundation of prior internship experience, transferable professional backgrounds, and academic depth, and who are passionate about fusing art and science to shape the future of marketing. This opportunity is well suited for individuals who are advancing in their careers or intentionally pivoting into marketing and are seeking immersive, high‑impact work across the full marketing lifecycle—from concept and strategy through production and activation. Successful candidates bring confidence, leadership potential, and a clear point of view, and are ready to contribute meaningfully, collaborate effectively, and help move marketing initiatives forward.  

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON:  

In the NIKE, Inc. Summer Internship Program, you’ll contribute to high‑priority, real business initiatives aligned to Nike’s strategic roadmap. With the guidance of experienced managers and senior leaders, you’ll take ownership of a clearly scoped project designed to drive impact—challenging your critical thinking, strengthening collaboration, and contributing directly to your team’s goals.
