DEVELOP THIS BUSINESS. JUST DO IT.
ARE YOU READY?
YOU SHOULD NOT APPLY FOR THIS JOB, UNLESS…
YOU can slam a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration onto the desk. Any other related field will be just as impressive.
YOU’ve done it all before. You know all too well what it’s like to develop and execute strategic business plans, and that is entails market research, data analysis, and a know-how of all the tools and methodologies that come with the territory.
YOU’re the Captain America of business development, my friend. You can coordinate cross-functional teams, manage multiple projects, and get it all done before lunchtime (or whenever the deadline is). You’re also a communications king/queen.
YOU’re a 10. Effective communication skills, proficiency in data analysis, strong problem-solving skills… we’re swooning.
YOU’re a business boss who can decipher financial data, budgets and forecasts.
YOU’re ahead of your time. You’re a Da Vinci in the world of business development, who has a proactive approach when it comes to identifying industry trends and anticipating challenges.
CAN YOU HANDLE IT?
YOU ARE NOT UP TO THE TASK, IF…
YOU won’t collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver annual and quarterly business plans because you’re the big dog here.
YOU won’t bother with coordinating business improvement objectives at a country and banner level because if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
YOU will make zero effort to be analytical with sales, brand, and consumer data with the intent of winning the consumer. It’s Nike; it sells itself.
YOU don’t want to lead a quarterly business review. It’s Nike; their budgets are too big to fail.
YOU don’t feel obliged to provide project management support with special projects pertaining to Nike brand growth because you’re just here to implement the annual basics. Special does not equal basic.
YOU think you don’t have to monitor understand the country and key city retail landscape… because it’s Nike. It’s the same everywhere, really.
