Elevating Nike’s collaboration with wholesale partners will be rewarding, challenging, and most definitely not be just a job. You'll be an ambassador of the Nike brand - everything we stand for: passion for sport, an instinct to
innovate, and relentless commitment to serving athletes.
Nike’s Demand and Supply Management (DSM) function works with diverse teams across the company — and around the world — to ultimately deliver on our mission of bringing inspiration & innovation to every athlete* in the world. Specifically, Nike DSM drives perpetual profitable growth and inventory productivity for Nike and our partners. As a team, we are continuously building a smarter, more connected, and sustainable value chain.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Wholesale Senior Planners play a pivotal role in bringing Nike’s marketplace vision to life with specific focus on pre-season forecasting, interpreting in-season results/trends, and creating scenarios based on desired outcomes. They establish clear financial plans while partnering with cross functional teammates to ensure assortment offerings are grounded in profitability, productivity, and consumer demand.
Strong collaboration is key, working both internally and with partner buying offices. Wholesale Senior Planners bring curiosity, a self-starter mentality, influential communication skills, and a strong ability to operate in ambiguous situations. They possess a unique ability to make data meaningful through visuals & storytelling, supported by strong retail, planning, and analytical expertise.
You Bring:
Bachelor's degree in Business or related field. Will accept any suitable combination of education, experience and training
4+ years of experience in Planning/Buying/Sales with emphasis on retail/wholesale financial planning and analysis, with advanced Microsoft Excel skills
Proven ability to leverage large amounts of data, identify critical information, develop recommendation and influence through compelling communication
Able to think critically and convey the potential of a product in the marketplace while identifying risks to top-down and bottom-up financial plans
Travel up to 15% of the time
WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON
Nike Wholesale Senior Planners are energized by variety. On any given day, you might develop assortment plans to influence purchasing decisions, partner with key stakeholders to sharpen situational knowledge, report on key performance indicators, manage product forecasts, or make recommendations to avoid risks and capitalize on opportunities.
Some specifics include:
You will create plans that optimize business health while achieving financial targets
You will use strong communication skills with internal/external partners to elicit information, cultivate productive dialogue, verbalize ideas, and align financial plans with an overarching strategy
You will enable success by collaborating with internal & external cross-functional teammates that may require engagement across time zones
You will thrive in a fast-paced, results oriented, team mentality environment
WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH
To optimize results, Wholesale Senior Planners are often a key conduit between NIKE and our partners – their input can shape how Nike and our partners serve consumers. Internally, they will collaborate with a variety of teams, including planning, sales, merchandising, supply chain, finance, and marketing. They will join a team that embraces inclusivity and diversity.
