You will provide strategic direction across the footwear development portfolio, balancing consumer needs, business priorities, product complexity, resources, and timelines to enable fast and effective product creation.
You will drive product and process excellence in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, ensuring projects deliver against design intent, performance, quality, cost, sustainability, and timing expectations while meeting the needs of the Greater China consumer and Local Creation business strategy.
