Job description

As a Nike Retail Associate - known as Athletes - you bring the \"Just Do It\" mindset to life. You serve like a pro to help our consumers discover the product that inspires them - from living rooms to locker rooms - to move, dream, and dare. You're in the store building brand trust and loyalty, but you don't do it alone.

We play in a fast-paced, high traffic environment, across store zones and consumer needs, but there's no ego. We're one team, showing up with optimism and hunger for the collective win. The goal is to serve our consumer and provide them with the ultimate Nike store experience. Are you up for it?

Committing to your hours of availability and maintaining flexibility within those hours is a core component of retail employment. Standard shifts are generally scheduled between 5:00 AM and 11:00 PM of the store's timezone. Overnight positions may work shifts between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM of the store's timezone. Specific schedules will vary by location, season, and business demands. Shifts are scheduled based on store needs and your employment type.

Managers will make every effort to schedule shifts within your provided availability, though business needs may occasionally require additional or different availability. In markets where applicable, scheduling practices will reflect local legal requirements, including guaranteed hours and reasonable shift notice.

Retail Expected Hours

• Full Time: 40 hours/week
• Part Time: 8-38 hours/week

You lead with service. You understand and obsess the consumer's needs, then guide them to the gear that elevates their performance.

• You fuel the day's momentum. You know the product, honor the details, and keep the store sharp. You hit your goals and move with purpose.
• You build connection. You show up for the consumer and your teammates. You bring the energy of sport, share your knowledge, and create a space where everyone feels seen and supported.
• You bring integrity to every moment. You meet our elevated standards, communicate honestly, and model reliability in every interaction.

Qualifications

• Flexible with scheduling and available to work retail hours, which may include day, evening, weekends, and/or holidays, based on department and store/company needs.
• Physical requirements may include the ability to bend, squat, reach, climb a ladder and stand for extended periods of time.
• You must be legally authorized to work in the UK by the proposed employment start date. NIKE is unable to provide immigration sponsorship for this role.
