Job Overview
StoryWorks defines how SharkNinja tells its story.
We are hiring a Director, Editorial & Enterprise Storytelling to operate as our in-house journalist. This role reports directly to the Chief Communications Officer and is responsible for finding, reporting, and telling the most important stories across SharkNinja. The Director, Editorial & Enterprise Storytelling is designed for candidates with a strong editorial or journalism background. It is not a traditional internal communications or marketing content role. If you are someone who sees stories others miss and knows how to turn them into something people actually want to read, we want to hear from you.
You will not be handed content to refine. You will go out and get the story across our products, people, and business, and turn it into clear, compelling narratives that help people understand what we are doing and why it matters. Your work will shape how the company communicates with itself and how leadership shows up. It will inform executive messaging and drive storytelling that carries across internal and external channels.
At key company moments, the Director, Editorial & Enterprise Storytelling will step in to support global communications around major initiatives, changes, and announcements. The expectation is that you bring clarity, structure, and strong storytelling when it matters most. This is a role for someone who knows how to report, write, and push for clarity. Someone who treats the company like a beat and the business like a source.
