Job description

A COO role just opened at Nordstrom, the kind where 17 of general experience earns you a real say in Sparks. The offer reads simply — internship, $255,000 - $517,000, 16 years, and a c-level role where ownership is not a perk but the point.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive measurable improvements within your area of responsibility
• Keep Nordstrom's Sparks, NV site running while improvements ship underneath
• Write the Time Management runbook the next hire wishes they had
• Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room
• Stitch together Adaptability and Professionalism into one coherent workflow

What You'll Bring

• Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
• 16+ years navigating the politics that general work attracts
• Pattern recognition earned across many general engagements
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• 15+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments

At Nordstrom, a joyfully-rigorous Sparks-based studio, the whole mission boils down to making Delegation feel effortless for everyone downstream. We reward the teammate who unblocks three colleagues over the one who quietly hero-codes alone.

Expect a $255,000 - $517,000 base, a growth path with milestones, a mentor who shows up, and benefits that make staying at Nordstrom easy.

This opening was refreshed recently and remains an active priority for the team.
