Nike salaries revealed: How much the retail giant pays designers, software engineers, and other tech workers

As Nike tries to mount a comeback and live up to its reputation as a dominant retail force, the sportswear giant appears to be investing in some tech and design jobs.
Publicly available work visa data, which companies are required to disclose to the US Department of Labor, gives an idea of how much Nike's employees bring home and some of the roles it has invested in.
Nike had about 890 open positions worldwide listed on its jobs board as of July 18.
Current CEO Elliott Hill, who rejoined the company in October, has told investors that Nike is aligning its employees to focus on five key action areas: culture, product, marketing, marketplace, and connecting with consumers on the ground in their communities.
That strategy plays into Nike's efforts to focus its marquee brands — Nike, Jordan, and Converse — on key sports such as running and basketball.
"We are in the midst of realignment at Nike," Nike said in a statement to Business Insider. The realignment and sport strategy aim to "create sharper distinction and dimension" for its brands, the company said.
Here's what some key Nike roles can earn based on data through the quarter ending in March.
The salary data includes information from Nike Inc. and some subsidiaries, such as its retail services arm and Air Manufacturing Innovation division. It reflects US-based roles and, given it's based on H1-B visa disclosures, tends to skew more tech-focused.
