Senior Vice President, Talent Acceleration
Location: Global | Reports to: Chief People Officer

Status: Full-Time | Executive Leadership Team
At SharkNinja, winning isn't optional-it's our identity. The SVP, Talent Acceleration is the architect of our global talent engine, designing and driving bold strategies that build unstoppable leaders, ignite learning at scale, and embed our Outrageously Extraordinary (OE) and Problem-Solving Mindsets into every corner of the business.
This leader doesn't just manage talent-they ignite it, accelerate it, and set the pace for how SharkNinja wins now and in the future.
Your Mission
Global Talent Strategy
  • Architect the Global Talent Flywheel-a future-ready strategy that scales with our growth and powers SharkNinja's bold ambitions.
  • Hardwire adaptability and innovation into our DNA through upskilling, reskilling, and deep leadership pipelines.
  • Build a culture where problem-seeking, productive paranoia, and fanatical drive for edge are celebrated.
  • Ensure succession is anticipatory, not reactive-our bench is so deep, others can only chase.

Executive Coaching & Assessment
  • Deliver coaching and assessments that transform leaders from capable to unstoppable.
  • Accelerate onboarding to ensure new leaders deliver impact faster than anywhere else.
  • Equip leaders with the confidence and clarity to thrive in SharkNinja's high-speed, problem-solving ecosystem.
  • Cultivate leaders who own outcomes, act daily, and learn relentlessly.

Performance & Career Development
  • Redefine performance systems to spark momentum, ownership, and breakthrough results.
  • Create career pathways that challenge team members to achieve more than they thought possible.
  • Champion a feedback culture that's direct, actionable, and growth-oriented-because friction fuels progress.

Leadership & Organizational Development
  • Deploy immersive experiences that grow bold, resilient leaders.
  • Drive speed, agility, and resilience into organizational design so SharkNinja can adapt and win in any environment.
  • Make workforce planning and cultural amplification core growth engines-not side projects.
  • Build the global talent flywheel that keeps SharkNinja outpacing the competition-today, tomorrow, always.

Who You Are
  • A problem-seeker with an existential need to be the best-you don't just lead, you ignite transformation.
  • A strategic architect with 10+ years shaping global talent engines in high-growth, complex organizations.
  • Proven ability to scale enterprise-wide leadership programs that transform organizations.
  • Deeply committed to the OE approach-you don't fight the system, you fuel it.
  • Executive presence to influence C-Suite and Boards-shaping strategy, not just executing it.
  • Master's degree in Organizational Psychology, Business, HR, or related field preferred.

The OE Mindset You Embody
  • Fanatical Drive for Edge: You seek differentiated insights that create competitive advantage.
  • Insatiable Impatience for Action: You act daily, iterate fast, and never wait for perfect conditions.
  • Deep-Seated Confidence: You break problems down, make decisions, and move forward-fast.
  • Genuine Belief & Commitment: You're all-in on the OE journey, even when it feels "crazy."

The Company
HQ: Needham, MA

Year Founded: 1994

What We Do

SharkNinja redefines fast-paced. Bringing new, complex products to market in new categories every six months is not for the faint of heart. As a result, the talent that comprises our workforce is intelligent, committed, creative, and resilient no matter which department you call home. Everywhere you look here, you see the best of the best.

What makes SharkNinja unique is our method – almost a proprietary intensity – that is shared from top to bottom and produces incredible results. Ours is a winning team that creates the opportunity for anyone to be a winner. It’s a place where we can all (and are expected to) test, fail, learn, win, scale, and do it fast without ego. It’s not easy here by any stretch, but when you see that product that was just a sketch on a slide six months ago and is now on Amazon getting rave reviews, you can’t help but think, ‘Wow, look what we did together.’ If you like that feeling, then SharkNinja might be the place for you.

Why Work With Us

Whether your passion is engineering, designing, marketing, or developing, at SharkNinja you’ll find we’re all about people. We work together to create world-class products that delight our consumers. Building an admired consumer products problem solving engine is hard; we do it better than others by operating differently.
