Become a Part of the NIKE, Inc. Team

NIKE, Inc. does more than outfit the world's best athletes. It is a place to explore potential, obliterate boundaries, and push out the edges of what can be. The company looks for people who can grow, think, dream, and create. Its culture thrives by embracing diversity and rewarding imagination. The brand seeks achievers, leaders, and visionaries.

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

The Global Sales Go-To-Market Excellence team accelerates sales growth by translating sport and marketplace priorities into differentiated sell-in strategies, tools, and experiences. The team brings together GTM Sport, Showroom & Samples, and GTM Operations to enable strong and consistent seasonal execution across geographies.

As part of the GTM Sport team, you will collaborate with partners across Global Sport, Sales, Product, Merchandising, Creative, Operations, and Geo teams. You will help connect insights and priorities across multiple sports and support cross-functional efforts to create GTM experiences that enable sales readiness and marketplace growth.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for a curious, collaborative, and analytically minded intern to help identify and elevate opportunities that exist across Nike's sport portfolio. This role sits within the GTM Excellence Sport team and is uniquely focused on looking across sport strategies, plans, and priorities to uncover common themes that can create greater marketplace impact.

Rather than focusing on a single sport, this individual will help identify opportunities that span multiple sports, product categories, and consumer moments. Examples include seasonal opportunities such as Back-to-School and Holiday Gift Giving, key product classifications like fleece and outerwear, and emerging marketplace trends that can be brought to life through compelling sales experiences, tools, and storytelling.

This intern will analyze seasonal sport plans to identify cross-sport opportunities, uncover common themes across consumer moments and product categories, and help shape recommendations for GTM experiences, tools, and storytelling that support enterprise priorities.

The ideal candidate is naturally curious, enjoys connecting information from different sources, and is excited to turn insights into recommendations that help teams drive greater impact across the marketplace.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze seasonal sport plans to identify common themes, opportunities, and marketplace moments that span multiple sports.
• Develop recommendations for GTM experiences, tools, and storytelling that support enterprise priorities and drive greater marketplace impact.
• Research consumer, retail, and marketplace trends to uncover emerging opportunities.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to gather insights and help develop recommendations.
• Develop insights, summaries, and presentations that help teams understand and activate cross-sport opportunities.
• Support seasonal planning, presentations, and strategic projects across the GTM Excellence Sport team.
• Help identify opportunities to scale successful concepts, stories, and capabilities across multiple sports and geographies.

In the NIKE, Inc. Summer Internship Program, you'll contribute to high-priority, real business initiatives that align with the NIKE, Inc. strategic roadmap.

These projects are designed to challenge your critical thinking, further develop your skills, and foster effective collaboration while contributing directly to your team's goals.
