Principle Product Line Manager
for each. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodations? The accommodations paragraph is about interview process; it's not boilerplate? It's about accommodations for interview process. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still about accommodations. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The accommodations paragraph is about interview process accommodations; could be considered application instructions? It's about requesting accommodation. Might be considered application instructions. Safer to remove it. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting.
First paragraph: "Who You’ll Work With Nike Global Product Licensing is a fast-growing, entrepreneurial team responsible for shaping and executing Nike’s long-term trademark licensing strategy across footwear, apparel, equipment, and accessories. We work closely with internal partners and external licensees to deliver brand-right, innovative products to consumers worldwide. You will lead and drive alignment across Product, Design, Merchandising, Brand, Legal, Finance, and Geo/Territory teams, along with our external licensees, to accelerate strategic growth and deliver best‑in‑class licensed product."
That's about the role/team. Could be "About the role" or "Who You’ll Work With". Use heading About the role.
Second: "Who We Are Looking For We’re seeking a strategic, consumer-obsessed Product Licensing Manager skilled in product creation leadership, cross-functional alignment, and managing complex external partnerships. You bring strong product and process knowledge, uphold brand standards, and thrive in a fast-moving, matrixed environment. Bachelor's degree in business management, product management, merchandising, or related field. Will accept any suitable combination of education, experience and training. 8+ years of relevant experience Deep expertise in product creation, merchandising, franchise management, and consumer insights, applied to set strategic direction and drive enterprise‑level growth.Proven ability to lead, influence, and align cross‑functional leadership teams, driving outcomes through vision, clarity, and accountability rather than direct authority.Executive‑level communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate strategy, synthesize complexity, and influence decision‑making through written, verbal, and presentation forums.Demonstrated success navigating ambiguity and complexity, managing competing priorities and leading effectively within a highly matrixed, global organization.Strong strategic rigor and operational discipline, paired with exceptional organizational skills and the ability to influence outcomes at scale.Track record of building trusted relationships and driving alignment across diverse teams, functions, and senior stakeholders to accelerate execution.Highly developed product vision and style sensibility, ensuring brand‑right, consumer‑relevant, and commercially impactful outcomes.Ability to travel up to 25%"
That's qualifications/requirements. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll split maybe into Requirements (experience, education) and Skills (specific abilities). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine into Requirements section with list.
Third: "What You’ll Work On Enterprise Product & Partner Leadership Own and set product strategy direction for licensee partners at an enterprise level, ensuring assortments are consumer‑right, brand‑aligned, and commercially scalable across categories and geographies. Exercise decision rights over seasonal product strategies, that balance brand vision, innovation, speed, and financial outcomes. Provide executive leadership and governance across partner product creation, briefing, line planning, and gate processes, ensuring consistent application of Nike brand standards. Serve as an enterprise product authority, leveraging deep category and franchise expertise to guide senior‑level decisions and long‑term growth opportunities. Strategic Category & Marketplace Alignment Align senior cross-functional leadership and Licensee leadership around consumer targets, brand positioning, assortment architecture, and distribution strategy at scale. Sponsor and lead high‑visibility initiatives tied to major brand moments, innovation platforms, and strategic collaborations, with accountability for outcomes and impact. Cross‑Functional Enterprise Influence Leverage Consumer & Marketplace insights to guide and drive alignment across Senior cross-functional leadership on product, design, materials, innovation, storytelling, and packaging. Ensure enterprise compliance and brand integrity by partnering with Product Safety, Tech Development, Materials, Packaging, Brand Marketing, Legal, and Athlete Representation. Operating Model & Governance Own governance of the end‑to‑end product approval ecosystem, ensuring Nike standards are upheld while enabling speed, scalability, and partner accountability. Lead enterprise communication of strategy and decisions, aligning GPL, sourcing, finance, legal, systems, and operations teams. Drive operating excellence and continuous improvement, establishing scalable processes, best practices, and ways of working across GPL, licensees, and categories. Maintain executive oversight of seasonal readiness, including approvals, assortment integrity, and sample governance."
That's responsibilities.
We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections.
Thus sections: About the role (or Who You’ll Work With), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills maybe.
We need to decide headings: Use About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. Could also use Qualifications. The instruction: use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can pick those that have content.
We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education, experience), Skills (the list of abilities). Could combine Requirements and Skills into one Requirements section but better to separate.
Let's extract lists.
About the role paragraph: we can keep as
.
Responsibilities: multiple bullet-like sentences. We can make
- each responsibility.
We need to parse responsibilities into distinct items.
From responsibilities text:
- Own and set product strategy direction for licensee partners at an enterprise level, ensuring assortments are consumer‑right, brand‑aligned, and commercially scalable across categories and geographies.
- Exercise decision rights over seasonal product strategies, that balance brand vision, innovation, speed, and financial outcomes.
- Provide executive leadership and governance across partner product creation, briefing, line planning, and gate processes, ensuring consistent application of Nike brand standards.
- Serve as an enterprise product authority, leveraging deep category and franchise expertise to guide senior‑level decisions and long‑term growth opportunities.
- Align senior cross-functional leadership and Licensee leadership around consumer targets, brand positioning, assortment architecture, and distribution strategy at scale.
- Sponsor and lead high‑visibility initiatives tied to major brand moments, innovation platforms, and strategic collaborations, with accountability for outcomes and impact.
- Leverage Consumer & Marketplace insights to guide and drive alignment across Senior cross-functional leadership on product, design, materials, innovation, storytelling, and packaging.
- Ensure enterprise compliance and brand integrity by partnering with Product Safety, Tech Development, Materials, Packaging, Brand Marketing, Legal, and Athlete Representation.
- Own governance of the end‑to‑end product approval ecosystem, ensuring Nike standards are upheld while enabling speed, scalability, and partner accountability.
- Lead enterprise communication of strategy and decisions, aligning GPL, sourcing, finance, legal, systems, and operations teams.
- Drive operating excellence and continuous improvement, establishing scalable processes, best practices, and ways of working across GPL, licensees, and categories.
- Maintain executive oversight of seasonal readiness, including approvals, assortment integrity, and sample governance.
That's a good list.
Requirements: education, experience, etc.
We can list:
- Bachelor's degree in business management, product management, merchandising, or related field (or equivalent combination of education, experience and training).
- 8+ years of relevant experience.
- Deep expertise in product creation, merchandising, franchise management, and consumer insights, applied to set strategic direction and drive enterprise‑level growth.
- Proven ability to lead, influence, and align cross‑functional leadership teams, driving outcomes through vision, clarity, and accountability rather than direct authority.
- Executive‑level communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate strategy, synthesize complexity, and influence decision‑making through written, verbal, and presentation forums.
- Demonstrated success navigating ambiguity and complexity, managing competing priorities and leading effectively within a highly matrixed, global organization.
- Strong strategic rigor and operational discipline, paired with exceptional organizational skills and the ability to influence outcomes at scale.
- Track record of building trusted relationships and driving alignment across diverse teams, functions, and senior stakeholders to accelerate execution.
- Highly developed product vision and style sensibility, ensuring brand‑right, consumer‑relevant, and commercially impactful outcomes.
- Ability to travel up to 25%.
These could be considered skills as well. But we can split: Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (the rest). However many of those are skills. To avoid thin sections, maybe combine into Requirements section with all. But we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe just three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, skills). That seems fine.
Thus we will not have Skills separate.
