About The Position

Nike Retail Associates, known as Athletes, bring the “Just Do It” mindset to life by serving consumers and helping them discover products that inspire them to move, dream, and dare.

Standard shifts are generally scheduled between 5:00 AM and 11:00 PM in the store’s time zone; overnight positions may be scheduled between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Schedules vary by location, season, store needs, and business demands.

Full-time roles are 32–40 hours per week; part-time roles are 14–29 hours per week; seasonal roles may be up to 40 hours per week based on business need; and part-time-under roles are 5–15 hours per week.
