Description
Nike does more than outfit the world's best athletes. We are a place to explore potential, obliterate boundaries, and push out the edges of what can be. We're looking for people who can grow, think, dream and create. We thrive in a culture that embraces diversity and rewards imagination. We seek achievers, leaders and visionaries. At Nike, it's about bringing what you have to a challenging and constantly evolving game.
Every successful team at Nike needs a brilliant game plan. As Finance Business Integration Director, you will help shape and drive the functional Finance and Strategy agenda through deep cross functional integration and alignment throughout the Nike organization.
