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 .    

At SharkNinja, we are redefining how products improve everyday life—and our Senior Director of Design & Advanced Development sits at the very heart of that ambition. We’re seeking a creative leader and future thinker to head up our global Front-End Innovation team: a passionate, hands-on group of design storytellers, engineers, and inventors who bring breakthrough product ideas to life.  

This isn’t just a design leadership role—it’s about leading the spark behind SharkNinja’s next generation of iconic products. You'll be the creative catalyst shaping what’s next, helping teams turn blue-sky thinking into tangible, consumer-loved innovations that define categories. Your team will shape the early concept architecture that eventually fuels mass production through our NPD (New Product Development) pipeline.  

The ideal candidate is a designer at heart, with deep engineering and design credentials, a natural flair for storytelling, and a relentless passion for solving consumer problems in inventive, inspiring ways.  

What You’ll Do  

• Lead SharkNinja’s Front-End Innovation team, responsible for driving concept creation, design storytelling, and early platform exploration across all product categories.  

• Inspire a team of Industrial Designers and Product Design Engineers to generate physical and visual prototypes that sell ideas and excite cross-functional partners and senior executives.  

• Be a design storyteller—capable of pitching future-focused concepts in a way that connects emotionally and drives alignment across the business.  

• Champion a studio culture that blends hands-on making, iterative sketching, advanced prototyping, and bold thinking grounded in technical feasibility.  

• Partner with Mechanical Engineering, R&D, Product Development, and Product Marketing to ensure early concepts are rooted in a strong, scalable product strategy.  

• Integrate deep knowledge of materials, manufacturing methods (e.g., plastic injection molding, die casting, sheet metal), and DFM/DFA to ensure ideas are not just exciting—but achievable.  

• Bring context and imagination to every phase of development, combining user insights, trend forecasting, and emerging technologies to shape future design visions.  

• Cultivate a high-energy environment where curiosity, creativity, and invention are celebrated and continuously pushed forward.  

• Maintain a consumer-obsessed mindset, with a focus on developing products that change behaviors, exceed expectations, and lead markets.  

What You’ll Bring  

• A degree in Product Design Engineering, Industrial Design, or a related field that blends design and engineering. A PDE background is highly valued for its unique balance of technical rigor and creative thinking.  

• 10+ years of experience in product design and innovation, ideally in high-volume consumer goods environments.  

• A rich portfolio of category-defining consumer products that demonstrate design excellence, storytelling, and successful commercialization.  

• Proven leadership in building and developing creative teams—mentoring talent, championing new voices, and fostering collaboration across disciplines.  

• An ability to lead with vision and conviction while remaining hands-on, detail-oriented, and deeply engaged in the creative process.  

• A natural presenter and communicator, with the charisma and clarity to sell ideas across all levels of the organization—from engineers to executives.  

• Strong technical foundation in high-volume manufacturing and an appreciation for the intersection of creativity and feasibility.  

• A love for "making"—whether sketching, building, modeling, or hacking together ideas to inspire others.  

• Bold thinking, grounded in insight, empathy, and a deep understanding of consumer behavior.  

• A proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo, KeyShot, and Adobe Suite.  

Why This Role Matters  

This role is more than just product design—it's about shaping our future. You will lead a team of makers, storytellers, and engineers to uncover what’s next, spark new possibilities, and turn compelling ideas into category-changing products. If you’re obsessed with invention, fueled by creativity, and ready to lead a team that lives at the edge of what's possible—this is your moment.
