We are looking for a game-changing communications and stakeholder engagement leader to drive the development and execution of the next chapter of Nike’s Sustainable Business & Innovation (SB&I) “Network Activation” strategy, in partnership with Global Corporate Communications.
for SB&I Leadership and strategic internal and external audiences and communication channels.
As SB&I’s functional external and internal communications and content lead, you will serve as Editor in Chief, ensuring ‘one voice’ across the department and with stakeholder audiences. You and your team will collaborate relentlessly with cross-functional teams to design, execute and manage engagement opportunities and initiatives to accelerate Nike’s sustainability goals.
Building trust and influencing inside and outside the organization will be second nature to you, as will an eye for both the big picture and the smallest detail. You will be the day-to-day liaison with the communications and engagement leads of many of Nike’s key external partners and manage relevant agency relationships. This role requires strong intuition and proven judgment, as it will bring more opportunities to engage than you and your team have the time or resources to support, so an ability to quickly and strategically filter the great from the good will be critical to your success.
You will understand the value smart process and planning play in driving results and will be excited by the opportunity to design and lead a new way of working within a matrix organization. Others will be inspired to share and support your vision through the energy and leadership you bring to the team and its purpose.
