Description
What's IT like at Nike? Some things are a given. Like getting to work with the latest applications and technology. And being surrounded by full-time colleagues, not just consultants and hired guns. Around here, you'll push your colleagues to do their best work, and they'll turn around and do the same for you. At the end of the day what matters is being able to use the best technologies to help a great company perform even better.

IT at Nike is over 900 professionals working on the most advanced business applications and e-commerce capabilities in the industry. For instance, our ERP utilizes SAP and Siebel, with SeeBeyond ICAN/e*Gate as the integration layer for all our Supply Chain applications. And that's just one example of the dozens of upgrades and improvements currently underway.

As our Lead Content Engineer for Cognos, you'll work as a part of our Global Business Intelligence (GBI) organization developing world-class information management solutions for Nike. You'll lead reporting teams that are responsible for developing and deploying business intelligence applications using Cognos. You'll collaborate with BI Application Engineers and our business partners to develop high-level designs, including logical models and functional specifications and framework models that leverage Nike's EDW to create business solutions. You'll also facilitate and drive meetings with global participation. You'll work with the team to ensure that the reports and model being developed using Cognos meets the business requirements. You'll then work with the Business and IT teams to transition these applications into our production environment by providing support and training through the release cycle. Furthermore, you'll be doing this work as part of Nike's BI rollout in support of increasing Nike's competitive advantage through the use of business information to make key decisions. You'll gain exposure to global scenarios, which require technical savvy, communication skills and the ability to effectively multitask. You'll also mentor other team members and help drive internal GBI initiatives. In addition, you'll be involved in developing applications in an integrated BI solution leveraging the Enterprise Information Store.

Requirements for the position include:

- Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science (or equivalent with focus on databases and data modeling) or a related field

- 2 years' additional professional experience in lieu of a degree

- 6 years' experience in IT

- 1 year of experience in a leadership and/or mentoring role (virtual or direct)

- 3 years' experience using Cognos

- Extensive Cognos BI 8 Framework Manager and Report Writing experience required

- 2 years' experience with relational and or multidimensional databases and data modeling

- Strong written and verbal communication skills

- Ability to communicate effectively with a broad range of IT and business counterparts

- Experience with the complexities of cross-functional issue identification, prioritization and resolution

- Experience with developing project plans/timelines for small- and medium-sized projects

- Experience participating in multiple, complex projects and working with diverse teams in multiple locations

- Ability to gather and understand business requirements and translate into IT solutions using Cognos

- Experience with BI tools focused primarily on presentation and data-mining

Data Warehousing using Teradata experience is preferred
