Nike said on April 23-24 it will eliminate roughly 1,400 roles, mainly within its Global Operations technology teams, as part of a broader “Win Now” turnaround.
The reductions represent just under 2% of Nike’s global workforce and span North America, Europe and Asia.
In an internal memo, Chief Operating Officer Venkatesh Alagirisamy said the moves will consolidate technology operations into two hubs — the Philip H. Knight Campus in Beaverton and the Nike India Technology Center — and include modernization of Air Manufacturing Innovation facilities, relocation of some Converse footwear engineering closer to factory partners, and tighter integration of materials into footwear and apparel supply chains.
The cuts follow earlier reductions this year, including about 775 distribution center roles in January, and come as the company grapples with years-long sales pressure, a forecast 2–4% drop in the current quarter and an expected ~20% decline in China.
Nike’s recent quarterly results showed profit and sales weakness, and its shares have fallen sharply over the past three years.
