About Nike

Nike, Inc. is the world's leading sports brand, dedicated to its mission: 'To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world.' With iconic products like Air Max, React, and Flyknit, Nike empowers athletes, casual wearers, and fashion enthusiasts alike. In Germany, Nike operates premium retail stores that embody the brand's culture of performance, innovation, and community. As a Nike Athlete in Jettingen-Scheppach, you'll join a global team passionate about sport, style, and customer experiences that inspire movement.

Role Overview

The Nike Athlete (Sales Associate) position in Jettingen-Scheppach is a dynamic 30-hour flex retail role starting around March 1, 2026. In Nike's unique retail structure, Athletes are the frontline heroes creating unforgettable brand experiences. This part-time opportunity suits energetic individuals who thrive in a fast-paced store environment, blending customer interaction, sales expertise, and team collaboration. Core hours are 9 AM to 7 PM, with flexibility for evenings and weekends to match retail demands.

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike traditional retail jobs, working as a Nike Athlete means representing a lifestyle brand. You'll connect customers with products that enhance their athletic journeys, from running shoes to training apparel, while fostering Nike's values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I).

Key Responsibilities

As a Nike Athlete, your role is pivotal in driving store success and customer loyalty. Key duties include:

• Utilizing customer service skills and deep product knowledge to craft premium brand experiences and recommend ideal Nike products.
• Supporting Leads and Coaches in onboarding and training new team members.
• Handling diverse store functions such as cashier duties, inventory management, shelf stocking, and display setup to meet sales goals.
• Leveraging digital tools to seamlessly connect online and in-store sales and services.
• Educating customers and new hires on Nike products, services, and innovations.
• Continuously expanding knowledge through Nike's training tools, staying ahead of trends, products, and company culture.
• Serving as a Brand Ambassador for Nike initiatives, events, and community efforts.

• Comfort with digital sales tools and general MS Office/computer proficiency.
• Flexibility for evening and weekend shifts within core hours (09-19 Uhr).
• Fluent German with basic English skills for team and customer interactions.

No prior retail experience is required—Nike provides comprehensive training. What matters most is your drive, team spirit, and commitment to excellence.

Benefits & Perks

Nike invests in its Athletes with competitive rewards that go beyond the ordinary:

• Market-competitive salary tailored to experience, plus potential monthly variable bonuses.
• Generous employee discounts on Nike products in-store and online.
• Access to regular sales, product, and skill-building trainings.
• Dynamic workplace with flat hierarchies, emphasizing DE&I.
• Complimentary Nike employee apparel to rep the brand.
• Exclusive training content and opportunities to join unique Nike events.

These perks create a supportive ecosystem for personal and professional thriving.
