Principal Technical Product Manager – Consumer Product & Innovation, Nike
Beaverton, OR-USA
WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH
As Principal Technical Product Manager, you will own technical products in Design as part of Consumer Product & Innovation (CP&I), the technology engine behind Nike's product creation, merchandising, design, and innovation. You will partner closely with Design and Business Integration teams across Nike, Engineering, Architecture, and Program Management to bring Design’s vision and business outcomes to life. You will also work shoulder-to-shoulder with peers across CP&I and adjacent product organizations to align capabilities, evolve foundational tools, and shape the next generation of Nike's Design capabilities across Footwear, Apparel, and Accessories.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for a seasoned product leader who deeply cares about their stakeholders, leads through craft, clarity, technical fluency, and broad influence, not through direct authority. You build a multi-year vision, with the discipline to deliver measurable outcomes one quarter at a time. You are equally comfortable shaping the future Product and Technology landscape, architecture with engineering and simplifying complex problems for executives, while partnering closely with Design users to turn workflow needs into products.

- Experience with and/or ability to quickly learn complex systems and landscape
- Excellent communications skills (written and verbal) and strong interpersonal skills
