- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Experience working with athletes, coaches, and equipment managers
- Experience with Microsoft Office programs and familiarity with spreadsheet databases and statistical analysis procedures
- Ability to physically lift and carry items weighing up to 20 pounds
- Passion for sport is a plus
- Must have a functioning and insured car capable of carrying up to 30 pairs of shoes, enabling majority travel (up to 80% of time) within the LA and surrounding area to meet with testers
- Due to the nature of the work, connecting with Athletes* and consumers face to face, there will be times where you will need to work outside of traditional working hours (specifically weekends and evenings).
- Ability to travel internationally up to 10% of the year
WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON
You will support and execute footwear product testing activities for Energy‑driven launches and Athlete moments. You will help plan and conduct wear‑testing, coordinate Athlete* participation, and ensure timely and accurate capture of qualitative and quantitative feedback.
You will share insights to cross‑functional partners, helping teams understand Athlete* needs and product performance in real‑world conditions. Your work will support informed product decisions while balancing testing rigor with the speed required for Energy timelines.
