Become a part of the Nike, Inc. Team
Nike does more than outfit the world's best athletes. It’s a place to explore your potential, obliterate boundaries, and push the edges of what can be. The company looks for people who can grow, think, dream and create. Its culture thrives by embracing diversity and rewarding imagination. The brand seeks achievers, leaders and visionaries. At Nike, it’s about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving game.
Nike Digital Product Design executes thoughtful design solutions for business and consumer problems at scale. We craft the overall form and function of our digital products — defining the user experiences and interfaces for Nike’s internal and consumer-facing experiences.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We’re looking for a Lead Designer to join our team. You’re well-honed design skills and talent for leading teams through design projects. You’re the glue between design, engineering and product.

•
Inspiring new ways of thinking and exploring the unknown using fresh approaches to design problems while applying your knowledge of standard methodologies and user-centered design principles to build simple, beautiful and seamless workflows
•
Developing design solutions using participatory and iterative techniques including user interviews, observation, usability testing, validation, and design thinking brainstorms and workshops
•
Rapidly iterating and refining design concepts — from initial briefing through final delivery
•
Mentoring and providing helpful feedback to fellow designers and interns to uplevel their craft and skills
•
Evangelizing the Nike brand and driving initiatives that strengthen Nike's design culture internally
WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH
You’ll be part of the Retail & Digital Service team, where our mission is to enhance customer loyalty by crafting exceptional digital experiences both within the store and for our consumer-facing and internal customer service platforms. We’re responsible for the capabilities that power the world’s most-loved consumer experiences — scaling product creation, enterprise capabilities, and dynamic, brand-right journeys for every athlete*, everywhere. You’ll work closely and collaboratively with a cross-functional team of product managers, program managers, engineers, retail business and customer care business partners, researchers and fellow designers. Together, you will explore and analyze business needs, feature specifications, and user requirements, transforming them into insightful and impactful design solutions.
