Sitting at the center of SharkNinja’s growth engine, the Chief of Staff ensures the Chief Growth Officer’s priorities are translated into clear plans, operating rhythms, and measurable outcomes.

Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Execution Enablement: Partner directly with the Chief Growth Officer to shape priorities and enable execution across SharkNinja’s growth agenda. Translate strategic objectives into actionable plans by aligning marketing, demand generation, creative, and consumer experience leaders around shared goals, dependencies, and success metrics. Serve as a trusted advisor, supporting decision-making, prioritization, and trade-offs to keep the organization focused on the highest-impact initiatives.
Operating Rhythm & Business Management: Own the operating cadence for the Growth organization, including annual and quarterly planning, business reviews, leadership meetings, and goal tracking. Ensure clarity of priorities, transparency of progress, and disciplined follow-through across teams. Prepare executive-level materials, briefings, and recommendations that support effective decision-making and accountability.
Cross-Functional Integration & Influence: Act as the connective tissue across SharkNinja’s ecosystem. Influence and align Growth, Creative, and Cx leaders with Marketing, Demand Generation, Product Development, Engineering, Media, Finance, and Regional teams. Anticipate interdependencies, surface risks, remove barriers, and accelerate execution through collaboration—without stepping into line ownership of functional work.
Organizational Planning & Effectiveness: Partner with People & Culture and Finance to support organizational design, headcount planning, and budget alignment for the Growth organization. Ensure capabilities, structure, and resourcing are aligned to strategic priorities while functional leaders retain accountability for results. Support leaders in balancing long-term planning with near-term execution.
Capability Building & Continuous Improvement: Enable continuous improvement across the Growth organization by identifying opportunities to strengthen ways of working, governance, and execution. Introduce operating frameworks, tools, and standards that improve clarity, consistency, and scalability across marketing- and demand-led teams. Foster a culture of accountability, learning, and operational excellence.
