The posting

Mission

This is a high-impact, strategic role focused on defining and implementing the business development strategy for Decathlon across the Adria region. Your ultimate mission is clear: drive Decathlon to become the undisputed market leader by 2030. Operating within a combined regional sports market sized at nearly €1.68 Billion (Croatia: €574M, Slovenia: €549M, Serbia: €555M) where our current market share sits at ~13%, you will architect our aggressive expansion. You will spearhead our ambitious goals for 2027—including a +16.5% GMV growth and the strategic opening of 4 new stores. Looking ahead to 2030, your mandate is to scale our regional presence from our current 25 touchpoints (22 physical stores + 3 websites in 2026) to 40 fully integrated omni-channel touchpoints, creating a positive human, environmental, and economic impact in alignment with Decathlon's core values.

Develop Local Strategy

  • Define regional development strategy based on market data to grow Decathlon's market share from ~13% to leadership in the €1.68B sports market by 2030.
  • Design and implement a multi-channel network (lockers, shops, digital) to scale the local ecosystem from 25 to 40 fully integrated touchpoints by 2030.

Develop and Execute Projects

  • Drive real estate projects to deliver 4 new store openings by 2027: source sites, evaluate execution means, manage technical/financial details, negotiate contracts, handle due diligence/permits, monitor budgets, and oversee handover.
  • Coordinate all stakeholders throughout business development projects.
  • Manage store relocations for non-vision sites: source alternatives and conduct cost-benefit/upside analyses against current locations.
  • Build and maintain local administrative and political relationships.
  • Advise internal stakeholders and support execution/negotiation of physical partnerships and new business initiatives.
  • Advocate for Decathlon on sports topics by engaging external government organizations and building a local network.
  • Prospect and negotiate with property investors to enable new businesses and shops.

Real Estate Portfolio Management

  • Monitor year-one revenues and costs against budget for new openings to support the +16.5% GMV growth target.
  • Identify and execute portfolio optimization opportunities across 22 existing stores, including downsizing, enlargements, efficiency upgrades, and green building investments.
  • Execute land commercialization strategies following Asset Manager guidelines, including land sales and leasing vacant premises.

About yourself

  • Cross-cultural fluency, comfortable in a workplace that blends the local identities of the Adria region (Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia) with Decathlon's international culture.
  • Entrepreneurial and strategic mindset, capable of translating macro market data into a concrete vision to capture a larger market share and achieve undisputed regional leadership.
  • Thrives in highly ambitious, transformative environments; adept at architecting aggressive expansion plans to aggressively scale our regional omni-channel ecosystem.
  • A financial or technical background, or prior experience as a Regional Retail Leader, is highly advantageous.
  • Previous experience in Real Estate Development, Retail Expansion, or Commercial Business Development is highly desired, along with a track record of managing end-to-end site acquisitions and store openings.
  • Strong negotiation and networking skills, with demonstrated experience engaging property investors, landlords, local governmental organizations, and administrative bodies.
  • Exceptional project management abilities; capable of coordinating cross-functional stakeholders, navigating technical and legal due diligence, and managing investments.
  • Business partner approach with a strong capacity to proactively advise internal stakeholders, drive local partnerships, and ensure a positive human, environmental, and economic impact.
  • Highly mobile and comfortable with frequent travel across the region, paired with a strong appetite for continuous professional development.
  • Agile under pressure, calm in vision, concrete in action, authentic with people.
  • Fluent in English; fluency or high proficiency in Croatian, Slovenian, and/or Serbian is highly advantageous to operate effectively across the region.
  • Knowledge and/or capacity to understand all functional domains within Decathlon, ensuring real estate and network decisions directly support overarching GMV growth and P&L objectives.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
