Senior, FW Product Testing Analyst, Local Creation GC

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a curious, driven, and collaborative individual with a passion for sport and a commitment to helping Athletes perform at their best. As a Senior Footwear Product Testing Analyst, Local Creation, based at Nike’s Greater China Headquarters, you will play a key role in bringing the voice of the athlete into the product creation process and ensuring every footwear innovation delivers against Nike’s world-class standards for fit, comfort, and performance.

The ideal candidate is an active learner, a strong communicator, and a relationship builder who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. You are energized by working directly with athletes, translating insights into actionable recommendations, and partnering across functions to elevate product performance.

In this role, you will lead and execute footwear wear-testing programs, engage with Athlete testers to gather meaningful feedback, and analyze qualitative and quantitative data to identify trends, opportunities, and performance insights. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across Product Creation, Development, Engineering, and Sports Marketing to influence product decisions and drive continuous improvement throughout the footwear creation journey.

Success in this role requires exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. Most importantly, you bring a relentless curiosity and a passion for creating innovative products that inspire and enable athletes around the world.

WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

As a Footwear Product Testing Senior Analyst, Local Creation, you will lead and manage all aspects of the footwear testing process, from test planning and athlete recruitment to test execution, data analysis, report development, and overall program management. Your work will ensure that Nike footwear delivers against the highest standards of fit, comfort, durability, and performance.

Leveraging your knowledge of footwear manufacturing, materials, and construction, along with a deep understanding of the Athlete experience, you will provide data-driven insights and recommendations to product creation teams. You will help inform decisions around materials, components, and construction methods, while identifying performance issues and opportunities for improvement before products move into production.

You will support a diverse portfolio of footwear products developed for the Greater China marketplace, partnering closely with both Greater China Local Creation and Global Product Creation teams. Through testing and athlete insights, you will play a critical role in influencing product decisions and driving continuous improvement throughout the product creation journey.

On any given day, you may be recruiting and engaging Athlete testers, conducting wear tests, analyzing results, presenting findings to cross-functional partners, attending product review meetings, and managing prototype samples. Testing activities take place both on and off Nike’s Greater China campus, allowing you to connect with athletes where they live, train, work, and play.

Because athlete testing often occurs outside of traditional business settings, this role requires flexibility and a willingness to work occasional non-traditional hours to support testing activities and capture authentic athlete feedback.
