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.
The Finance organization at SharkNinja is a strategic partner that enables innovation, accelerates growth, and drives outstanding business performance. Working closely with Finance partners to support Product Development, Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, and Commercial teams, providing the insights and financial leadership that enable SharkNinja to deliver disruptive, consumer first innovation.
As the Director, Finance AI & Automation, you will own the design, build and deployment of the AI capability inside a global Finance organization at a nearly $8 billion consumer products company. This is not an advisory or program management role. You will personally build, production AI agents and automations that change how Finance plans, closes, controls, and decides. You will be deployed across the whole Finance estate, FP&A, Accounting, Internal Audit and SOX, Tax, and Treasury.
SharkNinja measures this work in gross margin dollars, headcount productivity, and enterprise value. It is not measured in hours saved. You will be expected to size, commit to, and deliver against outcomes in those terms.
You will also own how the capability scales safely. As Finance moves from a handful of agents to an estate of them, you will build and run the agent register, the control tiering that goes with it, and the standards that keep an automated process auditable in a SOX environment. You will partner with Internal Audit, the Chief Accounting Officer, and Digital Technology so that speed and control are not a trade.
Success in this role requires someone who is Rarely Satisfied, unwilling to accept that a process is as good as it can get simply because it is the process. You must excel at Communicating for Impact, translating both financial and technical complexity into a clear recommendation for executive leadership, and you must embrace the Outrageously Extraordinary mindset through innovation, confidence, urgency, and a relentless drive for edge.
