Our brand teams bring together creativity, cultural insight, product expertise, and operational excellence to create meaningful connections with consumers. Through thoughtful product seeding, we put the right product in the hands of influential talent, partners, and cultural voices who help shape how adidas shows up in sport, fashion, and culture.

You will own product planning, inventory governance, operational frameworks, and performance measurement to maximize product investments and enable scalable support of adidas' global talent, partner, and influencer networks.

Working across Global Brands, Communications, Business Units, Product Marketing, Market teams, agencies, and vendors, you will drive alignment from seasonal planning through execution. This role is strategically important to strengthening operational discipline, improving visibility into seeding performance, and ensuring resources are deployed against the brand's most important cultural opportunities.

• Analytics and Reporting: Develop performance measurement and reporting frameworks that provide visibility into inventory health, seeding impact, operational efficiency, and business opportunities.

• Financial Management: Manage seeding budgets, forecasting, and spend tracking while maintaining financial discipline, compliance, and responsible stewardship of company resources.

• Team Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop the Seeding team through clear objectives, accountability, collaboration, and capability building that supports evolving business needs.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
