WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

You will report into the Territory EKIN Manager and will work closely with your Centralized EKIN team, Territory EKIN teams, and City/Geography Marketing teams to prioritize seasonal opportunities. You will collaborate with Account Training & Delivery partners to optimize education touchpoints against the holistic vision of athlete education in your market and more broadly. You will work with Field Leadership teams, Store teams, and Retail Store Operations team as execution partners. Additionally, you will manage external vendor partners in the creation of training events.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Does the sight of a fresh pair of running shoes make you want to hit the pavement immediately? Do you get excited at the prospect of leading store employees through a technical breakdown of Nike's footwear lineup? Are you passionate about helping others discover their love for sport? If you thrive in retail, enjoy learning about the needs of athletes, and live for the "moment of truth" when they choose the perfect shoe to carry them through their season, this could be the job for you!

In 1981, Nike created the EKIN team (EKIN is "Nike" spelled backwards) to serve as Nike's Athlete Missionaries, building deep and meaningful relationships with athletes in the community. EKINs served as the baton between Nike's products and customers, sharing product insights and innovations while converting others to discover a passion for sport.

Today, the EKIN team continues that mission, bringing Nike's inspiration and innovation to athletes around the globe. EKINs represent Nike across all sports, ensuring that every athlete can find the right gear to make athlete dreams real.

We are looking for an EKIN to join our team based in Austin, Texas. The ideal candidate is a dedicated sport enthusiast, knowledgeable and relatable to all athletes, with a background in retail, and excellent presentation skills. These qualities have driven EKINs success for over 40 years, and they will continue to power Nike for the next 50.
