Finance at Nike is unlike Finance at any other company because Nike is unlike
any other company! Our Finance teams are strategic leaders who shape and enable
sustainable, profitable growth by identifying the company’s most critical
opportunities and partnering across the enterprise to turn strategy into action.
They influence decisions that move the business forward, aligning Nike around
bold, forward-looking investments that strengthen our Brand and accelerate
momentum across Innovation, Retail, Technology, Supply Chain, and beyond.
Finance professionals at Nike operate as trusted thought partners—leveraging
rigorous data analysis, advanced financial modeling, and sharp business judgment
to deliver insights that guide complex, high-impact decisions. Their work
directly informs how Nike allocates resources, manages risk, and delivers
against long-term strategic priorities at a global scale.
WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH:
Finance Interns are placed on teams where their work matters. You will partner
with experienced Finance leaders and cross‑functional stakeholders to lead a
defined project aligned to your team’s most important business needs. While
placement is finalized closer to the start of the internship, every intern is
expected to operate with ownership, judgment, and influence—contributing
insights that inform decision‑making at scale. In addition to deep engagement
within your team, you’ll gain exposure to the broader Finance organization
through enterprise‑wide initiatives, functional programming, and regular
interaction with senior leaders.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
Nike Finance is seeking MBA candidates who bring a strong foundation of prior
professional experience, academic rigor, and a demonstrated ability to apply
both in dynamic business environments. This internship is well‑suited for
individuals who are progressing in their careers or making a deliberate
transition and are interested in Corporate Finance and long‑term development
opportunities through a two‑year rotational program. Successful candidates
demonstrate confidence, leadership potential, and the ability to add value
through critical thinking, collaboration, and informed
decision‑making—contributing from day one, not simply observing.
WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON:
In the NIKE, Inc. Summer Internship Program, you’ll contribute to high-priority,
real business initiatives that align with the NIKE, Inc. strategic roadmap.
Our goal for the Finance MBA Internship is to provide a meaningful, real‑world
experience that reflects the scope and expectations of a full‑time role at Nike.
As a Finance MBA Intern, you will contribute to a defined, business‑relevant
assignment aligned to your team’s priorities, with opportunities to take
ownership of specific components of larger initiatives. Your work will require
you to dive deep into the business, apply structured problem‑solving, and
deliver insights that inform decisions and move the business forward.
Examples of project work may include:
* Developing insights, actions, and KPIs to support rolling forecasts
* Evaluating assortment productivity and performance drivers
* Designing or enhancing processes to track and report technology investment
outcomes
In addition to project ownership, you will collaborate closely with Finance
leaders and cross‑functional partners through your team’s day‑to‑day work. This
may include preparing and sharing timely financial analyses, interpreting
results with senior team members, and identifying trends, risks, and
opportunities to support strategic plans, budgets, and forecasts. Through this
partnership, you’ll gain exposure to how Finance leaders influence decisions and
translate analysis into action.
This is a 10-week paid internship opportunity with relocation assistance.
