Principal Information Security Analyst

to join the Information Risk Management (IRM) team within Corporate Information Security (CIS). This role is a senior individual contributor and program leader who will deliver against an information security and cybersecurity assessment plan integrated into a broader enterprise risk management program supported by executive management. You will leverage deep expertise in security policies, standards, controls, and industry best practices to perform and lead risk assessments of Nike systems and systems managed for Nike by vendors. You will also drive strategic advancement of Nike's Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) program—establishing risk-profiling methodologies, tiered assurance frameworks, vendor lifecycle controls, and executive reporting capabilities that protect Nike's most sensitive data across a complex global vendor ecosystem. Our ideal candidate is a trusted advisor with superb communication skills, exceptional analytical and problem-solving ability, intellectual curiosity, and proven experience translating complex security risks for both technical and non-technical audiences—including executive leadership, procurement, legal, privacy, and technology partners. You thrive in cross-functional environments, influence without authority, and bring a principal-level perspective to program design, not just execution. Beyond assessment execution and program delivery, this role carries a broader organizational mandate. You will serve as a recognized subject matter expert in information risk and cybersecurity not only within CIS, but across Nike. Partner teams including Procurement, Legal, Privacy, Engineering, and the broader Nike Business will look to you as a trusted, accessible authority on information risk. You will also identify, initiate, and lead cross-functional programs that extend beyond IRM’s immediate scope, efforts such as enterprise-wide data governance alignment or cross-team risk standardization, bringing structure and momentum to problems that span organizational boundaries.

This role works with the Information Risk Management team to identify, assess, elevate visibility to, and remediate information security risks across Nike's technology landscape.
