Description
As Nike continues to accelerate its consumer engagement and direct sales strategies, our focus on consumer data becomes ever more vital. It will drive insight and foresight into consumer behavior, deliver just-in-time triggers for delivering meaningful digital experiences and provide the foundation for targeted communications to our consumers. Over the past five years, Nike Digital has built a strong big data and analytics foundation to fuel these business strategies. But to scale to our 2020 goals, we must take the data architecture to the next level.
The Director of Data Design & Architecture will be responsible for driving the design, architecture and engineering of data across Nike Digital.

Reporting to the head of Consumer Data Engineering, the role will partner across the data product and data platform teams for enabling cross-Nike business analytics teams.
We are looking to hire a passionate, results-driven thought leader who has experience in leading change. Experience with big data environments (Hadoop, No-sql) as well as relational data architectures is a must. Exposure to data lakes running in the cloud is preferred. Candidates with experience working in digital-native companies or digital organizations in consumer-oriented companies is strongly preferred.
In the best traditions of high performing teams, Nike has a matrixed organizational culture. The leader in this role should be adept at working across organizational boundaries and building consensus through expertise and education. The team reporting to him/her will look for inspiration from a people leader who has a track record of growing talent. With fast career growth potential, this role presents an exciting opportunity for a technology leader who is interested in accelerating Nike’s digital transformation!
