SharkNinja

At

SharkNinja, our purpose is to positively

impact

people's lives in homes around the world. We create 5-star products that solve real problems — and bring them to market with the same level of ambition.

Our creative team

operates

at the intersection of product, brand, and performance. We are consumer-centric, digging for insights and iterating until we find what truly resonates. We are product-led, where our innovation is the story. We are idea-driven, building platforms and systems, not just campaigns. And we are increasingly AI-enabled, using new tools to move faster, explore more, and raise the bar.

This is a team that values speed, ownership, and craft — and expects its leaders to be both strategic thinkers and practicing makers.

The Role

We're

looking for a

Global

Design Director

for Shark Home

to define what Shark looks like — and where it goes next.

This

isn't

just

an execution role. You shape product identities, build visual systems from scratch, and architect creative platforms that drive demand across the full funnel. You work upstream — with product, insights, and marketing — influencing how products are positioned, named, and brought to life before briefs are written.

You think in systems, not assets. Platforms, not one-offs.

Speed and taste that scales

across every touchpoint and performs in the real world.

You're

as comfortable sweating the smallest pixel as you are concepting a campaign platform from scratch — and you understand that both

matter

equally. You bring sustained creative rigor to everything you touch: the willingness to go back to an idea, pressure-test it, refine it, and push it further until

it's

genuinely right. That kind of discipline — applied consistently across a high volume of work — is what it takes to succeed here.

You're

fluent in modern creative tools, including

Chat, Claude and

node-based canvas for image and video creation like

Figma

Weave or a similar platform, using them to accelerate exploration and hold a high bar for taste and originality. You lead and grow a design team while staying hands-on in the work — setting the standard by doing it yourself.

What You'll Do

Own Shark's

conceptual and

design direction across packaging, DTC, Amazon, retail, video, and

thumb-stopping social ideas.

Define product identities from 0 to 1 in partnership with product and insights teams

Work upstream to shape product positioning and opportunity areas before the brief

Build scalable visual systems and campaign platforms that travel across channels

Design for modern attention — platform-native, performance-aware, brand-building

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of designers while staying actively in the work

Use AI tools to push the pace and quality of exploration

Present and sell creative direction to senior stakeholders

What We're Looking For

10–15+

years in

creative direction,

design

or art direction, with

significant time

at a senior or director level

A portfolio that

demonstrates

strong conceptual thinking, visual systems,

packaging

and

product identity work

Proven ability to define and launch brand and product identities from the ground up

Experience working upstream with product and insights to shape positioning

Fluency across brand and performance channels — packaging, DTC, Amazon, retail, and social

Strong instincts for motion and social-native design

High craft standards at every level of the work — from system architecture to execution detail

Deep fluency

Adobe Creative Suite and

modern design workflows

A working, opinionated relationship with AI in the creative process

You'll

Thrive Here If You

Think like a builder — systems, not one-offs

Care about creating demand, not just making things look good

Are equally at home concepting a campaign platform and perfecting a single

layout

Hold yourself to a high standard of creative

rigor

and expect the same from your team

Commit to an idea for as long as the work demands — revisiting, refining, and raising it until

it's

genuinely excellent

Move fast, iterate often, and

don't

wait for perfect conditions

Lead by example every day

Our Culture At SharkNinja, we don’t just raise the bar—we push past it every single day.

Our Outrageously Extraordinary mindset drives us to tackle the impossible, push boundaries, and deliver results that others only dream of. If you thrive on breaking
