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.

This is a team leadership role at the intersection of product quality, consumer excellence, and new product development. As Senior Manager, you will own the 5-star standard across your assigned NPD programs — embedding yourself deep in the work, leading a small team of quality professionals, and holding the line on quality with Engineering, Product Development, and Marketing at every stage of the pipeline.

Product Excellence's mandate is clear: every product SharkNinja creates should earn and sustain 5 stars. Achieving that standard requires someone who combines deep technical credibility with the confidence to challenge cross-functional peers, the rigor to run structured quality processes without dropping the ball across multiple program, and the leadership presence to bring a team with them.

You are the one who finds issues before the consumer does, and who drives the cross-functional action needed to resolve them.

You report into the Director or VP, In-Market Product Quality & Customer Excellence, and work in close day-to-day partnership with Engineering and Product Development leads across your program portfolio.
