We’re looking for a Lead Data and Analytics Insights Analyst to own the BI and analytics product strategy within Nike’s CP&I organization. This role serves as the insights product leader for CP&I’s primary capability areas - Merchandising, Apparel Product Creation, and Footwear Product Creation - establishing the KPI framework and decision intelligence strategy that drives how Merchants, Product Designers and Developers measure performance across workflow and operations in every modality.
The candidate will own the governed KPI catalog and semantic layer, identifying decision points lacking performance visibility and defining the KPIs, benchmarks, and leading indicators required to measure emerging business capabilities. We’re seeking someone who can perform applied metric modeling and validation, partner deeply with Capability Product Managers, business users, and analytics engineering peers, and translate governed metrics into decision-ready narratives for executives and cross-functional audiences.
The ideal candidate brings strong product leadership, technical fluency across modern analytics platforms, and the ability to connect Merchandising, Product Design, and Development performance into integrated business scorecards. Success in this role requires exceptional stakeholder management, a data-driven mindset, and the ability to coordinate delivery across concurrent tool rollouts and enterprise consumers.
