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. At NIKE, Inc. it’s about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving game.

Today, the opportunities for growth across NIKE, Inc.’s business portfolio offer more potential than ever. Nike Finance employees play a key role in that progress by identifying and capitalizing on opportunities to drive value for every Nike shareholder. They manage accounting and reporting for Nike’s multi-billion-dollar global investment portfolio, debt and equity instruments, and other Treasury activities. They strategize, forecast, audit, analyze, budget, research and lead important decisions. Across Nike’s diverse geographies and businesses, Finance employees deliver far more than just the numbers.

As ACCOUNTING DIRECTOR, INNOVATION & PRODUCT SUPPLY CHAIN, you will lead our Controlling team responsible for accounting oversight of finished goods sourcing and manufacturing activities for Global Apparel and Accessories, as well as Global Materials sourcing and manufacturing across all product engines. You will have an outstanding opportunity to be part of NIKE’s end-to-end supply chain, in a leadership role that directly supports our business partners as they innovate and deliver incredible NIKE product to our global marketplace. This leader and their team play a heavily business facing role, working with Product Supply Chain leaders and their teams, as well as our Global Supply Chain Finance team, informing sound decision-making through the lens of strong, proactive business partnership and team leadership.

WHAT WILL YOU WORK ON?

In this role you will ensure that all arrangements and transactions entered into across the business units you support are accounted for in accordance with US GAAP and NIKE accounting policy, ensuring proactive communication of accounting matters to Controlling, Finance and Business leadership. A top candidate will have the proven track record to navigate highly judgmental, complex and varied accounting concepts. You will also lead your team through and play a critical oversight role in NIKE’s month/quarter-end closing and reporting process, including direct ownership and accountability for manufacturing related financial statement disclosures.

You will lead a complex matrix of internal partnerships with cross functional teams across NIKE’s end-to-end Supply Chain, Finance, Treasury and Trading Company organizations.

A top candidate needs to have outstanding leadership capabilities, the proven track record to build positive relationships, influence and communicate financial stories to a wide and varied audience, and work through others across cultures and knowledge of core accounting principles and related control environments.
