WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH
You will be part of the Supply Chain & Planning Technology (SCPT) Portfolio & Operations team, leading the operational footprint of Supply Chain & Planning Technology in Nike's India Technology Center (ITC). You will report to the Senior Director of SCPT Portfolio & Operations and partner directly with ITC Product and Engineering leadership to ensure SCPT's India-based teams operate with clarity, consistency, and connection to the broader organization. You will also collaborate closely with SCPT central function leaders (Program Operations, Business Operations & Enablement, Quality Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering) and counterparts across SCPT sub-domains based in the US (PHK) and the Europe Logistics Center (ELC).
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for a builder. This is a foundational role — establishing SCPT's operational presence in ITC from a small footprint into a fully-formed organization. The right person is a solid people leader who can develop talent across multiple functions,
a thoughtful operator who knows how to stand up new functions and ways of working, and a credible partner to senior Product and Engineering leaders. They bring high EQ, comfort operating across cultural and time zone boundaries, and the maturity to lead people whose functional direction is matrixed.
Key Qualification:
15+ years of experience in technology operations, program management, or related leadership roles, with significant experience leading distributed and matrixed teams.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant field, or equivalent combination of education, experience, and training.
Demonstrated experience as a people leader — building, developing, and retaining high-performing teams across multiple functions and career levels.
Experience standing up new functions, teams, or operational capabilities — not just running established ones.
Proven ability to partner with senior Product and Engineering leaders as a credible op
