Footwear Designer NYX - ,

It's time to let who you are determine where you work, and not the other way around. From guitarists to graphic designers to people whose skills defy description, the Nike design group is definitely an atypical work environment. Every few months our design library hosts an exhibit on different design topics -- a recent exhibit featured "Rockets, Robots and Ray Guns." And there's also our bi-annual design conferences where the entire staff gets together to swap ideas and inspire each other.

All of this is to say, yes, of course, we're committed to creating the best athletic shoes, apparel and equipment imaginable. But the truth is, we think people are more productive when they're having fun.

As our Footwear Designer II, you'll create innovative designs for Nike Footwear products under the direction of our Design Manager. You'll work within our cross-functional Category team to create a line from concept to reality and produce footwear product designs that advance Nike's design image, product performance and appeal to targeted consumers. You'll also present visual concept solutions to product briefs; collaborate with our Design, Development and Product Management groups to focus product designs for market success; and finalize technical packages. This opportunity also involves proactively following the execution of all product details, including construction, color, form, style, detail, fit, performance and cost/value requirements. In addition, you'll develop an understanding of the category-specific consumer and their culture by learning about competitor products, consumer retail habits and market trends, and translate what you've learned into all product designs.

Furthermore, you'll participate in projects with the NIKEiD and Digital Commerce business teams, Innovation Kitchen, Product Creation and key partners across Nike to establish leading-edge consumer experiences as they pertain to the consumer's experience online and in retail (e.g., MS Surface, Adobe Air for mobile retail, 3D imaging, digital printing, etc). You'll focus on prototype development in Think/Study/Research project stages. You'll review existing processes and technologies, and devise strategies to enhance current implementations and processes to maximize benefits (e.g., new image authoring process, new content deployment process, etc.). You'll also partner with UED to develop potentially new front-end design methodology that leverages visual prototyping in early stage development. You'll work closely with Global Content team in maintaining current imaging solutions supporting the NIKEiD business. In addition, you'll design future state imaging options as well as support operations of existing practices.
