WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH
This role will work within Pacific’s Logistics Operations team, the engine behind Nike’s omnichannel distribution network.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
This role calls for a leader who thrives in motion. Someone who sees complexity and brings clarity.

They challenge the status quo, simplify the work, and create space for innovation. They’re comfortable in ambiguity, confident in decision-making, and relentless about improving outcomes. Strong analytical capability is essential as this role demands someone who can translate data into action, optimise cost, and elevate service. Above all, they believe in building inclusive, collaborative environments where teams can do their best work.
