Jordan Brand Undergraduate Merchandising & Marketplace Internship (SMS)

Jordan Marketplace and Merchandising Undergraduate Internship

Soul, performance and style take flight at Jordan Brand. With its deep roots in basketball, the Jordan Brand began as an homage to one player: Michael Jordan! Since then, Jordan has become synonymous with peak performance and an endless pursuit of greatness. Employees in merchandising, product branding, sports marketing and sales bring creativity, innovation and adventurous design to footwear and apparel, all with one mission in mind: help athletes fly on and off the court.

There are a variety of different internship opportunities within the Jordan Brand. Below is a brief description of the roles that are available this summer.

Marketplace Intern:

In the role of a Marketplace Intern, you will support the Marketplace team in crafting the digital strategy for the Jordan Brand. The Jordan Brand is passionate about building unbreakable relationships with its members and it starts with understanding the journey of the consumer. This means doing research and collecting data to understand who the target consumer is, what their needs are, how they behave in the industry and how they interact with the Jordan Brand. The purpose is to provide the Global Marketplace team with consumer insights, qualitative and quantitative, to help the Brand develop and sharpen its strategy around member engagement. How should we collaborate with the member over our digital platforms? How should we engage our members in our Stores? These are the questions that we want your help in answering for the Jordan Brand. The work will then help the Global Marketplace team develop strategies around how to optimize benefits for Jordan buying members and around how to connect with Jordan buying members authentically and in a 365 fashion. The final output will involve a readout that details what you learned about the member experience, enabling the Jordan Global Marketplace team to develop an outstanding membership program.

Merchandising Intern:

A Jordan Merchandising Intern will support the Merchandising team
in building coordinated, profitable, and relevant consumer first product assortments
that express the category vision in the marketplace and meet revenue
targets. You’ll support the Footwear Merchandising team throughout the seasonal process by driving system readiness and sample management, as well as inputting into model and franchise planning, flow and launch decisions, and pricing and margin strategies. This candidate will be supporting the analysis of current business, including bookings, and sell-through, and building insights to support future line plan and Streetwear Footwear strategies.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:

Throughout the summer internship, you will receive on-the-job experiences within a Jordan Brand team at WHQ. You’ll have a direct manager who will be one of the many Nike teammates you’ll partner with. Over the summer you’ll be assigned a project to help you get to know our world and for us to better get to know you.

This is a 8–10-week paid internship opportunity with relocation assistance. Curious to know what it’s like to be part of a world-class Internship Program? Check out our recap video from last summer: Nike Internship Program Recap Video
