User Experience Design Manager - 032021

at Nike, Inc.

Location: Portland, OR

The heart of Nike is built around one simple idea -- innovate. Whether that innovation is called Nike Air or ACG or Nike Swift or Nike Shox, the principle is the same: think something that nobody has thought before, or improve something that already exists. It's how we create our products, and it's the way we treat the people we work with.

So take chances. Think bigger than the next achiever. Just know one thing. The more you succeed, the higher we'll raise the bar.

But would you really want it any other way?

As our User Experience Design Manager, you'll develop, evangelize and execute the vision for both consumer-facing experiences (online and in-store) for Nike's digital commerce-enabled sites. You'll be responsible for benchmarking, conceptualizing, innovating and developing an overall Experience Map for your respective area. You'll work closely with internal functional groups, regional teams and agencies to define next-generation consumer experiences. You'll provide the overall vision and strategic leadership to drive the global Experience Roadmap; collaborate with the regional, functional and affiliate business teams, and with key strategic agencies to establish the direction for interface design on Nike digital properties; develop a global roadmap for interface development that supports emerging digital commerce capabilities; and provide support for regional and global initiatives that require interface design. You'll collaborate with functional regional leads to establish project goals and success metrics. You'll also establish vision and guidelines that establish Nike as an authentic sports brand online and organize our online capabilities in an easy-to-use, intuitive way. You'll develop and apply new capabilities, future product concept integration and connection/translation to non-digital consumer experiences and executions, and lead third-party site collaborations and integration. You'll also ensure the seamless digital consumer experience in all retail, event, studio and other physical executions of our digital commerce sites. You'll translate new ideas and concepts into relevant, value-adding elements and stay up to speed on any significant digital trends, and showcase the ability to adjust digital strategies and executions accordingly. You'll also be relied on to stay intimately aware of key regional and seasonal initiatives, and provide enticing, innovative consumer experiences in support of those. You'll facilitate regular and consistent site and consumer analysis to fuel future experience design, and seek out industry benchmarking to ground Nike's current level of experience within and across industries so an improvement plan can be designed and continuously monitored. You'll also manage agency relationships and specific projects. In addition, you'll establish leadership summits across our internal and external partners to develop consensus and communicate Nike's Experience Roadmap across our digital commerce sites.

Requirements for the position include:
• Bachelor's degree
• 6-10 years' experience in experience design or product management in the software industry, preferably ASP or SAAS
• Extensive experience in consumer eCommerce website development and in experience design specific to digital
• Strong understanding of Flash and Java
• Ability to understand the complex agency processes used to develop websites (strategy, conceptualizing, visual design, interaction design and production)
• Extensive experience working at senior levels to define target experiences that map to consumer needs in a way that is brand conscious and highly usable
