Specialist I, NVS Leasing Acquisition, GC

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a highly organized, detail-driven real estate professional to join our Nike Direct Stores & Services team as a Specialist II, ND Leasing Acquisition. In this role, you will be the operational engine behind our store expansion in China—supporting the end-to-end leasing process and ensuring that every project moves forward with precision, clarity, and cross-functional alignment.

To succeed here, you bring a strong foundation in retail leasing coordination, contract management, and project administration. You're the person who keeps the trains running—tracking milestones, maintaining systems, and making sure no document, deadline, or detail falls through the cracks. You're energized by structure and process, but you're also adaptable enough to navigate the complexities of a fast-moving, matrixed environment.

You thrive on collaboration, building trust with internal partners across Legal, Finance, Store Development, and Retail Operations, while also managing external relationships with landlords, agents, and vendors. You bring a commercial mindset to every task—whether you're summarizing lease terms, preparing project briefs, or tracking payments—and you consistently elevate the quality and accuracy of the work you touch.

You'll bring:

• Proven experience in retail leasing coordination, real estate administration, or project support within a corporate or professional services environment.

• Strong understanding of lease terminology and contract review processes, with the ability to identify key commercial terms and flag potential risks.

• Advanced proficiency in system maintenance, data management, and document control—you know how to keep information accurate, accessible, and audit-ready.

• Exceptional organizational and multitasking skills, with the ability to balance multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines.

• Advanced communication skills in both Chinese and English, with particular strength in document translation, bilingual filing, and cross-cultural coordination.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and experience with project management or leasing systems is a plus.

• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset—you don't just identify issues; you help solve them.

• A collaborative and positive approach, gaining energy from working across teams and building strong working relationships.
