This person will balance art and science to drive a consumer-centric culture to better serve athletes. They need to be adept at translating qualitative and quantitative data from a variety of sources into actionable insights that will fuel consumer concepts, inform brand positioning, influence footwear and apparel product creation, shape global strategic direction, and create business growth.

Your approach and toolkit will balance qualitative and quantitative methodologies. On the quantitative front you will use internal data science and analytics teams and tools. On the qualitative side you will partner with our internal trends and research teams, as well as external agencies and services to build a robust and comprehensive understanding of the consumer.
