Responsibilities

• This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of AI, product development, product quality, and organizational transformation. You will own the strategy and execution of AI integration across both SharkNinja's Product Development (PD) and Product Excellence (PE) organizations -- spanning the full product lifecycle from category strategy and conception through launch, and extending into consumer insights, product integrity, process quality, and manufacturing engineering.
• Today, much of this work relies on PowerPoint-based program management, fragmented data, manual analysis, and institutional knowledge trapped in people's heads. You will change that. You will build the data foundation, deploy AI capabilities, and transform workflows so that SharkNinja develops products faster, smarter, and with higher quality at every stage.
• This role carries a dual mandate: drive the current portfolio of AI initiatives to measurable completion, and partner directly with PD and PE leadership to shape what comes next. You are not here to deliver a fixed list of projects. You are here to build the AI capability that transforms how these organizations work -- today and in the future. You report directly to the VP, Chief of Staff to the CEO, with a dotted line to both the Chief Product Officer and the EVP of Product Excellence.

Qualifications

• Travel required (domestic and international, including China manufacturing sites)
• On-site at Boston HQ or New York office full-time
