As a Footwear Product Testing Senior Analyst, Local Creation, you will lead and manage all aspects of the footwear testing process, from test planning and athlete recruitment to test execution, data analysis, report development, and overall program management. Your work will ensure that Nike footwear delivers against the highest standards of fit, comfort, durability, and performance.
Leveraging your knowledge of footwear manufacturing, materials, and construction, along with a deep understanding of the Athlete* experience, you will provide data-driven insights and recommendations to product creation teams. You will help inform decisions around materials, components, and construction methods, while identifying performance issues and opportunities for improvement before products move into production.
You will support a diverse portfolio of footwear products developed for the Greater China marketplace, partnering closely with both Greater China Local Creation and Global Product Creation teams. Through testing and athlete insights, you will play a critical role in influencing product decisions and driving continuous improvement throughout the product creation journey.
On any given day, you may be recruiting and engaging Athlete* testers, conducting wear tests, analyzing results, presenting findings to cross-functional partners, attending product review meetings, and managing prototype samples. Testing activities take place both on and off Nike’s Greater China campus, allowing you to connect with athletes where they live, train, work, and play.
Because athlete testing often occurs outside of traditional business settings, this role requires flexibility and a willingness to work occasional non-traditional hours to support testing activities and capture authentic athlete feedback.
