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.
Sr. Director, AI Finance & Legal Transformation
The Role
You will own the strategy and execution of AI integration across SharkNinja's finance organization (FP&A, accounting, internal audit, tax, investor relations) and legal organization (contract management, IP, regulatory compliance, litigation support).
Multiple AI projects are already in flight across both functions. The challenge is not ambition -- it is that these efforts run in parallel without a single person connecting them, sequencing them, and driving them to completion. You will be that person: the dedicated, full-time owner who sits above individual projects, connects the dots, and surfaces the opportunities the teams are too close to see.
You will be measured on adoption, speed, and measurable business impact. You report directly to the VP, Chief of Staff to the CEO, with a dotted line to the CFO and CLO.

Why This Role Matters
SharkNinja's CEO has made AI transformation a top company priority. Finance and Legal are where that transformation becomes measurable: faster forecasting cycles, fewer manual touches, stronger controls, faster contract turnaround, and capacity redirected to the work that matters most. Multiple projects are already underway. What is missing is the person who owns the full picture, drives each one to the finish line, and makes sure the pieces add up to more than the sum of their parts.
