The Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Director, Social Commerce to lead SharkNinja's rapidly expanding U.S. Social Commerce business and own the U.S. TikTok Shop P&L—one of the company's fastest-growing and highest-priority commercial channels. This leader will define and execute the long-term vision for social commerce in the U.S., transforming it into a scalable growth engine that accelerates revenue, strengthens brand engagement, and delivers sustainable profitability.

In addition to leading the U.S. TikTok Shop business, this role will own SharkNinja's U.S. TikTok LIVE Commerce strategy and operations, building a world-class live shopping capability that drives customer acquisition, engagement, conversion, and revenue through always-on live programming, creator partnerships, and scalable live production.

As the commercial leader for U.S. Social Commerce, you will build the strategy, operating model, and organizational capabilities required to support significant growth across creator-led, live shopping, and shoppable ecosystems. You will oversee the evolution of our social commerce business from a high-growth channel into a mature, scalable capability by developing repeatable processes, investing in technology and analytics, and building high-performing teams that can execute at speed.

This role requires an entrepreneurial leader who thrives in ambiguity, can build from first principles, and has a proven track record of scaling ecommerce businesses in fast-paced consumer environments.
