Manager Stakeholder Partnerships

The heart of Nike is built around one simple idea -- innovate. Whether that innovation is called Nike Air or ACG or Nike Swift or Nike Shox, the principle is the same: think something that nobody has thought before, or improve something that already exists. It's how we create our products, and it's the way we treat the people we work with.

So take chances. Think bigger than the next achiever. Just know one thing. The more you succeed, the higher we'll raise the bar.

But would you really want it any other way?

As our Manager of Stakeholder Partnerships, you'll manage, at a detailed level, Nike's needs and responsibilities to advance the company's interests in multi-stakeholder partnerships around the globe.

You'll also support the Director in the professional development of the Project Coordinator.

Norms for Human Rights, Alien Tort Claims Act, etc.) You'll support the Integration/Collaboration Director of Compliance in global multi-stakeholder forums addressing policies that affect the global supply chain and specific factory issues requiring multi-stakeholder involvement for sustainable improvement.

In addition, you'll evaluate the impacts of existing programs in which Nike may, or may not be, participating; identify and promote current best practices; and identify new opportunities for participation in, and funding of, capacity-building programs.
