WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

As Lead PLM, you will own an apparel category end-to-end — setting the multi-season vision, shaping line architecture, and driving seasonal execution that delivers against both brand ambition and commercial targets. You will be accountable for the long-range health of your category: how it evolves season over season, how franchises are built and scaled, and how the assortment shows up cohesively in-market over time. You will work daily with Design, Development, Brand, Consumer Insights, and Merchandising teams to build seasonal product stories that fuse Nike innovation with SKIMS design DNA. You will lead the triad — keeping projects on pace, communicating with clarity across Nike and SKIMS partners. You will drive line plans, assortment architecture, and future product strategies — balancing near-term seasonal delivery with a multi-season roadmap that builds icons, grows franchises, and creates space for newness. You'll partner with Consumer Insights to bring her voice into every gate of the product creation process — from brief to buy — and champion the fit, feel, and emotional resonance that make NikeSKIMS unlike anything else in her closet. Weekly, you will drive on-calendar delivery across product briefs, design reviews, merchandising plans, and marketplace distribution — while managing the process for translating cultural moments, consumer feedback, and marketplace signals into product decisions. You will keep downstream partners aware and accountable, ensuring the collection shows up in-market with intention, cohesion, and impact.
