- Own the accuracy, reliability, and ongoing improvement of assigned datasets and dashboards, ensuring data is current, well-structured, and usable by cross-functional partners.
- Support standardized content execution across the consumer journey, connecting marketplace data, owned platform experiences, and post-purchase touchpoints to improve visibility, accuracy, and consistency.
- Analyze trends and performance signals across the consumer lifecycle to generate actionable insights that support team objectives, reduce consumer friction, and enable incremental demand.
- Develop and maintain automated workflows, alerts, and reports that proactively surface issues, opportunities, and exceptions related to content accuracy, experience performance, and operational health.
- Approach open-ended operational problems with curiosity and rigor, working through ambiguity by leveraging available Nike datasets to identify root causes and implement practical, scalable improvements.
- Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve operational efficiency through technology, AI, systems thinking and automation.

- Demonstrated ability to integrate, automate, and optimize content-related datasets, with hands-on experience designing workflows, alerts, and scalable data models.
- Strong proficiency with Airtable (or similar tools), including building and maintaining interconnected bases, automations, views, and reporting to support end-to-end content operations.
- Working knowledge of ecommerce systems, data integration, and cross-functional data handoffs.
- Proven ability to drive process optimization and operational efficiencies through automation, systems thinking, and continuous improvement.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Nike OPT Eligible Jobs USA
Target Nike's rotational and early-career programs
Nike's early-career and rotational programs are structured specifically for new graduates, making them the most direct entry point for OPT students. Applications open months before start dates, so tracking Nike's careers page well ahead of your OPT start date prevents you from missing the cycle entirely.
Align your degree to Nike's specialty roles
Nike's OPT hires tend to concentrate in roles where a specific degree directly maps to the job, data science, industrial engineering, and supply chain management. Before applying, confirm your degree field matches the posted role's requirements, because degree-to-role alignment affects both your hiring odds and your STEM OPT eligibility.
Confirm Nike's E-Verify enrollment before accepting an offer
STEM OPT's 24-month extension requires your employer to be enrolled in E-Verify. Before you accept an offer from Nike, verify their E-Verify status directly, since enrollment can vary by subsidiary or business unit. A lapse in enrollment would cut your authorization period to 12 months.
Search Nike's verified OPT job listings on Migrate Mate
Filter Nike's open roles by OPT eligibility on Migrate Mate to see which positions are actively hiring F-1 students. This saves time you'd otherwise spend manually screening job listings that don't support work authorization, and surfaces roles that align with your OPT end date and STEM extension eligibility.
Prepare your fashion portfolio around product and brand strategy
Nike evaluates design and brand candidates heavily on portfolio work that shows commercial thinking, not just aesthetics. For OPT roles in product creation or brand management, frame projects around consumer insight and go-to-market impact, which mirrors how Nike's internal teams operate and what interviewers prioritize.
Build your H-1B transition case from day one
OPT is a bridge, not a destination. From your first week at Nike, document your projects, performance reviews, and role responsibilities in detail. A well-documented employment record strengthens the specialty occupation argument USCIS evaluates when Nike later files your H-1B petition.
Nike OPT Eligibility: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Nike sponsor OPT visas?
Nike doesn't sponsor OPT directly, OPT is work authorization USCIS grants to F-1 students, not a visa Nike files for you. What Nike does is hire students who already hold an OPT EAD, across roles in product design, technology, supply chain, and analytics. You activate OPT through your school's DSO before starting work.
Which departments at Nike typically hire OPT students?
Nike most consistently hires OPT students in technology, data analytics, supply chain operations, product creation, and finance. Roles in these areas tend to require the kind of degree-specific expertise that supports STEM OPT eligibility, making them the strongest fit for F-1 students who want to maximize their post-graduation work authorization window.
How do I find open OPT roles at Nike?
Migrate Mate filters Nike's job listings by OPT eligibility, so you can focus only on roles that support F-1 work authorization without manually screening each posting. You can also monitor Nike's careers page directly and target their early-career programs, which are designed for recent graduates and open on a defined annual recruiting cycle.
What timeline should I plan for when applying to Nike on OPT?
Nike's early-career recruiting cycles typically begin several months before roles start, so applying well ahead of your OPT activation date matters. Factor in the time to receive your EAD from USCIS, which currently takes up to three to five months from application, and confirm your OPT start date aligns with Nike's intended hire date before accepting an offer.
Does Nike support the H-1B transition after OPT?
Nike sponsors H-1B visas and has done so across a range of technical and professional roles, making the OPT-to-H-1B transition a realistic path for strong performers. Your best position for sponsorship is a role with clear specialty occupation documentation. H-1B registration opens each March for an October 1 start, so your timeline during OPT matters significantly.
How does Nike hire OPT students?
OPT is work authorization granted directly to F-1 students after graduation — no employer petition is required. Nike can hire OPT students as soon as their EAD card is approved. STEM degree holders can extend OPT by 24 months when their employer is enrolled in E-Verify. Most companies that hire OPT students also support the transition to H-1B when the student's OPT period is ending. Check Nike's individual postings on Migrate Mate to confirm OPT acceptance per role.
