Join the APLA (Asia Pacific Latin America) Visual Merchandising team and help us create winning in-store experiences across a vibrant, multicultural region. At Nike, every store is a stadium, every display is a highlight reel, and every consumer journey is a chance to inspire greatness.

The Visual Merchandising (VM) function is responsible for developing and implementing inspiring, premium and elevated consumer experiences and product presentations for the Nike brand. The VM team works collaboratively across brand and business partners to develop product journeys, presentation strategies, seasonal direction and playbooks that set the standard and create a distinct point of view for the brand at retail. Additionally, the VM Team works directly with business, operations and design functions to develop, drive and scale new concepts / retail expansion for the Nike brand across the marketplace.
