What's IT like at Nike? Some things are a given. Like getting to work with the latest applications and technology. And being surrounded by full-time colleagues, not just consultants and hired guns. Around here, you'll push your colleagues to do their best work, and they'll turn around and do the same for you. At the end of the day what matters is being able to use the best technologies to help a great company perform even better.
IT at Nike is over 900 professionals working on the most advanced business applications and e-commerce capabilities in the industry. For instance, our ERP utilizes SAP and Siebel, with SeeBeyond ICAN/e*Gate as the integration layer for all our Supply Chain applications. And that's just one example of the dozens of upgrades and improvements currently underway.
Do you have Island Pacific experience in a retail environment? Are you interested in managing a newly developed team in Nike's expanding Retail division?
As our Application Engineering Manager in Retail IT, you'll work as part of the Retail IT team in developing and supporting Nike's expansion of its US and Global Retail presence. You'll be a key contributor in all aspects of Nike Retail business support and development. You'll manage an application development team in all phases of the software development life cycle, including production support. You'll mentor your team to analyze, recommend, review, design, build, test, install, integrate and support a full array of vendor supplied and internally developed systems. You'll also lead your team in adopting, implementing and following standard "best practices" (, SDLC, ITIL). You'll provide your team with coaching, development, motivation and performance reviews. You'll be responsible for managing key vendor relationships. You'll also ensure your responsibilities meet relevant compliancy standards like Sarbanes-Oxley and PCI. You'll work with the Program Management office to determine the feasibility, scope and business requirements of proposed business requests. You'll also be responsible in planning, scheduling work and resource management. You'll work closely with the QA team to ensure the delivery of quality solutions and the maintenance of a robust production environment. In addition, you'll work in a team environment where you'll be encouraged to express technical leadership, strategic and tactical directions, assist in decision making and openly share information across the team.
