AI at SharkNinja

At SharkNinja, we’re building an AI-native culture. We’re not waiting for the future; we’re creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what’s possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn’t been invented yet, you’ll fit right in.

SharkNinja is a $6 billion business that has grown over 20% for the last three years, and it still runs with the pace and energy of a start up. We move fast, and we need people who can move with us and pivot quickly as the consumer landscape shifts.

We are launching our RGM function in EMEA this year and are looking for a change agent to help build it from the ground up. This is a role for someone who loves numbers, loves using AI to work quickly, and has a hustle mindset to get things done with real impact across the business. You will be hands on with margin modelling, will challenge stakeholders with data, and will make calls that matter. You will also need to be a strong communicator who can bring people along with a vision for an AI enabled, data based, ROI focused RGM function.

This is not a role for someone who wants to keep the seat warm for a year or two. It is for someone who wants to build something new and leave a lasting impact on the business.

You will help launch and build the EMEA RGM function alongside a team of six, with a focus on Germany and France, reporting to the EMEA RGM Senior Director.

What You'll Bring
