A passionate, exceptionally organized and solutions-oriented thinker, you expertly manage end-to-end production for projects within the concept design team. You are a creative thought-partner, instrumental in developing and delivering the best creative on behalf of Nike.
You have outstanding communication skills and thrive under pressure, embracing change and knowing when and where to be flexible making you an invaluable partner to your creative and cross functional teammates. You are curious, energized by the opportunity to bring new concepts to life. You are entrepreneurial, resourceful, ambitious, and a forward-thinker.
You have experience producing across various mediums, both physical and digital (i.e. content, experiences, retail build, etc.) and can apply your skillsets to the ever-growing Nike landscape. No matter the project at hand, you nurture creativity and cultivate collaboration with any person/team you partner with as you bring projects through to success.
You can work directly with creatives and can commission work from a varied and broad network of agencies and creative individuals. Whether you’re on set managing the production of a shoot, commissioning an illustrator, or engaging a vendor to execute an internal room build, you don’t get phased by the unknown – instead, you are energized by the challenge of learning as you go.
You speak up, challenge the brief or project scope and help re-route obstacles to land on new solutions. You simplify complex information and clear obstacles to give space for the best possible creative solutions.
You bring people together – you’re the master collaborator who knows how to get the best out of everyone.
