WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Nike is looking for an HR professional who thrives as a trusted coach to People Managers. You may already bring deep, broad HR generalist expertise, or a strong foundation across several HR disciplines paired with the ambition to grow into a full-scope generalist role.
Either way, the successful candidate has the judgment and curiosity to navigate complex, sensitive and often conflict-heavy situations, applying sound, employment-law-aware decision making and knowing when to seek guidance. They are a skilled coach who helps managers weigh options and reach their own decisions. They pair a continuous-improvement mindset with a growth mindset and data acumen to simplify processes and shape more efficient ways of working, and they partner across HRBPs, COEs and People Solutions teams to design win-win solutions.
The ideal candidate will bring:
- Versatile HR experience across various areas of the employee lifecycle with a track record of advising and coaching People Managers and the ambition to grow into full HR generalist scope.
- Expertise across the employee lifecycle and Nike policies and practices – performance, career, compensation, engagement, and employee relations – with employment-law-aware judgment and the ability to balance risk, fairness and business continuity.
- Coaching and conflict management skills with the ability to help parties reach fair, durable, win-win outcomes.
- Facilitation and presentation skills to deliver educational or informational sessions that are engaging, easy to follow and reach their learning objectives.
- Comfortable with systems and digital tools and using data and insights to identify trends, simplify processes and drive continuous improvement.
- A growth mindset and willingness to develop – we welcome internal candidates who bring transferable HR strengths and are ready to build toward full generalist expertise, supported by coaching and on-the-job development.
- As we work with external Dutch government bodies, Dutch language proficiency is a plus.
WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON
You will enable People Managers to lead effectively across the full employee lifecycle. As a generalist lead consultant, you will coach managers through complex situations, standardize and optimize core HR processes, upskill managers, and activate strategic HR projects – delivering advanced HR support at scale.
In this role, you will:
- Case Management: Act as a key point of support for complex cases, coaching People Managers on versatile HR topics – career, performance, compensation, teaming, conduct, engagement, exits, reintegration and more – broadening your generalist scope as you grow.
- Process Optimization: Continuously improve how we work, designing practical solutions, playbooks and automations that increase the quality and efficiency of core people processes, and bringing the voice of People Managers into process design.
- Manager Upskilling: In partnership with relevant HR teams co-design and facilitate educational or informational sessions that upskill managers to deliver core HR programs with consistency, anchored in key employee-lifecycle moments and informed by case-management data.
- Strategic Projects: Participate in and activate a variety of HR projects that are part of the HR portfolio, serving as an activation engine for HR Roadmap initiatives and a liaison between HRBPs, COEs and People Solutions teams.
- Partner closely with HRBPs, COEs, Global People Solutions and business leaders, building trusted relationships and proactively aligning on shared ways of working to design win-win solutions.
- Leverage HR systems and case data to spot trends, share functional insights and shape scalable, standardized solutions.
