Powered by two trusted, global brands, Shark and Ninja, the company has a proven track record of bringing disruptive innovation to market, and developing one consumer product after another has allowed SharkNinja to enter multiple product categories, driving significant growth and market share gains. Headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts with more than 3,600+ associates, the company's products are sold at key retailers, online and offline, and through distributors around the world.
About the Role
At SharkNinja, we create innovative products that delight consumers and define categories. As we continue our rapid expansion across Europe, we are seeking a strategic, commercially minded, and data-driven leader to elevate our EMEA commercial planning capability and bring greater clarity to how we forecast, align, and execute across markets.
Reporting to the Global VP, this role is the EMEA owner of commercial forecast orchestration. You will be accountable for delivering a consistent, insight-led, and action-ready forecast across the UK, France, Germany, and Emerging EMEA. Sitting at the intersection of Sales, Finance, SS&A, and Operations, you will lead the regional rhythm of the business-aligning global expectations with local market realities and turning complexity into commercial advantage.
This is a career-defining opportunity for a leader who thrives in high-growth environments, enjoys untangling ambiguity, and can convert data, insight, and robust cross-functional debate into decisions that accelerate performance.
If you are excited by building world-class capability, influencing at the most senior levels, and raising the planning maturity of an entire region-this is your stage.

The Company
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.
