WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

As a Product Writer you provide the foundational copy vital to inspire, inform and sell product. You'll learn about each season's line of footwear, apparel and equipment from product teams and other resources and translate that info into engaging, consumer-ready copy. Your writing adheres to strict guidelines and is always on-brand. You'll work closely with other writers and collaborate with copy editors to provide accurate, high-quality and on-time product descriptions to Nike.com and our global partners.

In addition to writing, your day-to-day will require gathering information about a set of styles and checking facts against multiple sources to ensure accuracy. Relationship building is key. Taking highly technical product information and translating it to consumer-friendly stories comes second nature.
