WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We’re looking for a real estate and strategy generalist with strong industry grounding and the ability to connect insights to decisions.
You understand how retail real estate works—from trade areas and portfolio dynamics to deal structures and lease considerations—but your differentiator is your ability to synthesize information and communicate it clearly through compelling narratives and presentations.
You are not just an analyst - you are someone who can take inputs from across teams (real estate, finance, analytics) and translate them into clear stories that drive alignment and decision-making.
The ideal candidate:
Balances real estate acumen with strategic thinking
Is a skilled synthesizer, able to distill complex inputs into clear takeaways
Excels at building executive-ready presentations that influence decisions
Is comfortable working with data, but focused on application vs. heavy modeling
Brings a practical understanding of deal flow and portfolio management
WHAT YOU BRING
Ability to work in Beaverton, OR
5+ years of experience in retail real estate, real estate strategy, consulting, or related field
Working knowledge of retail real estate fundamentals (trade areas, site selection, lease structures, portfolio management)
Exposure to deal processes, including LOIs, site evaluation, and negotiations
Experience supporting or managing real estate portfolios and performance tracking
Familiarity with BI tools, dashboards, or reporting, with emphasis on translating insights into business context
Proven ability to build clear, structured, and visually compelling presentations for senior stakeholders
Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Degree or equivalent experience in Real Estate, Business, Finance, or related field
WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON
You’ll support both strategic planning and real estate execution, helping Nike make informed decisions about its physical marketplace.
Key responsibilities include:
Support development of marketplace and real estate strategies across Nike’s retail ecosystem
Contribute to portfolio management, including performance tracking, optimization, and identification of marketplace gaps
Assist in deal flow processes, including site evaluation, LOI review, and support for negotiations in partnership with Real Estate and Legal teams
Analyze and contextualize store performance, trade areas, and market dynamics to inform decision-making
Synthesize inputs from analytics, finance, and real estate partners into clear strategic insights and recommendations
Build executive-ready presentations that communicate opportunities, risks, and trade-offs
Translate data and analysis into compelling business narratives - leveraging visuals (charts, maps, frameworks) to support the story, not drive it
Support the evolution of tools, templates, and reporting to improve clarity and consistency of insights
