Location: Beaverton
Posted on: February 22, 2021

Job Description:

NIKE, Inc. does more than outfit the world's best athletes. It is a place to explore potential, obliterate boundaries and push out 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, Inc. it's about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving game. NIKE, Inc.'s storytellers, Marketing and Communication sets the brand tone. A creative force of specialists tell Nike's stories of innovation and sport through advertising, brand strategy, digital engagement and product presentation. Using channels ranging from retail stores to social media, Marketing & Communication teams connect the science and art of Nike innovations to the hearts and minds of athletes around the world. Our vision is to make sport a daily habit. We do this by inspiring athletes* to feel and enabling them to do.

We do this as a global team of creatives, innovators, and optimists. And we are looking for world-class talent like you to contribute to this purpose!

At our core, Consumer Direct Marketing (CDM) exists to Serve Athletes*. The reality is athletes* demand personal, direct experiences. It's CDM's role to deliver on that by obsessing athlete* engagement through sport activity, community, experiences, and product. Nike has done this from its earliest days when Phil Knight and Prefontaine sent personalized notes and tips to athletes. CDM modernizes this by bringing that same personal touch to Nike's stores, digital experiences, social media, and advertising.
