ABOUT THE ROLE
We're building momentum across Germany, Poland and Norway - and we need an HR Manager who can move at our pace. This is a standalone country role where you'll own the full People & Culture agenda across three markets, championing our Outrageously Extraordinary culture while navigating complex local employment landscapes. You'll be the first point of contact for everything HR, embedded locally but backed by a high-performing EMEA team based in the UK.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Own the employee experience across Germany, Poland and Norway - from day-one onboarding to complex employee relations, ensuring every interaction reflects our OE mindset
• Localise EMEA People & Culture strategies for your markets, making them land with real impact rather than corporate translation
• Manage employee relations matters end-to-end: advise managers on local employment law, lead investigations, resolve conflicts, and keep us compliant without slowing us down
• Drive engagement initiatives and regional events that bring our culture to life, not tick boxes - activities that people actually want to show up for
• Build line manager capability through coaching and mentoring, turning good managers into great ones who know how to lead the SharkNinja way
• Partner with Talent Acquisition to bring the right people in faster, conducting culture interviews and providing local market intelligence that sharpens our hiring edge

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• An Outrageously Extraordinary operator who thrives in ambiguity, breaks out of your swim lane, and gets things done without waiting for perfect conditions
• Fluency in English and German - you can switch between languages and cultural contexts without missing a beat
• Deep expertise in German employment law and HR best practices, with the commercial judgment to know when to follow the book and when to find a better way
• Proven track record in a regional HR generalist role within high-growth or retail environments where speed and scale matter
• Battle-tested employee relations skills across multiple markets - you've seen the tough stuff and know how to handle it with fairness, consistency and discretion
• The ability to juggle competing priorities, make decisions with incomplete information, and communicate with clarity even when the message is hard

Our Culture
At SharkNinja, we don't just raise the bar-we push past it every single day. Our Outrageously Extraordinary mindset drives us to tackle the impossible, push boundaries, and deliver results that others only dream of. If you thrive on breaking out of your swim lane, you'll be right at home.
What We Offer
We offer competitive health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, employee stock purchase options, wellness programs, SharkNinja product discounts, and more. We empower your personal and professional growth with high impact Learning Programs featuring bold voices redefining what's possible. When you join, you're not just part of a company-you're part of an outrageously extraordinary community. Together, we won't just launch products-we'll disrupt entire markets.
