About The Position

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company. We are looking for an ambitious, highly conceptual, and hands-on Senior Designer, Creative to help shape the visual future of our expanding brand portfolio. Operating out of our global headquarters in Needham, MA, this role is built for a visual storyteller who thrives at the intersection of premium brand design, digital commerce, and rapid execution. As a Senior Designer, you won't just skin layout templates—you will work upstream with copywriters, art directors, and brand marketers, getting direct access to the engineering and R&D labs to build entire visual identities from the ground up. You excel at taking a raw product concept and turning it into a beautiful, cohesive, and high-performing design ecosystem. From defining packaging look-and-feel to engineering scroll-stopping digital, retail, and social assets, you will be a major driver of the visual identity for multi-billion-dollar global brands.

Requirements

5+ Years of Graphic/Digital Design Experience: Proven track record within a fast-paced creative agency or a high-velocity in-house creative department (direct experience with consumer goods, lifestyle, or DTC brands is highly preferred).
An Elite, Multi-Channel Portfolio: Demonstrates exceptional conceptual thinking, top-tier typography, master-level digital layouts, and a deep understanding of packaging design, motion graphics/social content, and e-commerce ecosystems.
A Systems Thinker: A proven ability to look at a product launch and build a comprehensive visual toolkit that a whole team can run with, rather than just designing isolated ads.
Advanced Mastery of Modern Design Tools: Expert-level fluency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma. A strong curiosity and active, hands-on passion for utilizing generative AI tools to accelerate the concepting phase.
Thrives on Velocity: Highly adaptable, prolific with design options, and energized by tight deadlines. You excel at keeping a premium bar for creative craft while matching the relentless speed of a global consumer innovator.

Responsibilities

Build Scalable Visual Ecosystems: Think in design systems, not single assets. Create cohesive visual platforms that transition seamlessly across Packaging, DTC websites, Amazon storefronts, Retail displays, platform-native Paid Social (TikTok, Meta), and Experiential events.
Drive Big-Idea Conceptualization: Partner daily with copywriters and art directors to brainstorm and execute breakthrough, multi-channel campaign concepts that solve real business challenges and elevate brand perception.
Lead Design Execution & Craft: Maintain an exceptionally high bar for typography, layout, color theory, and asset creation, ensuring your assigned brand maintains a premium, consistent, and culturally relevant identity globally.
Champion an AI-Native Workflow: Boldly integrate Figma, advanced AI asset-generation platforms, and emerging design tools into your daily process to remove mechanical friction, explore wider creative directions, and rapidly prototype visual concepts.
Direct Production and Assets: Assist in prep and art direction for photo and video shoots, and lead the post-production design execution to ensure final assets match the original strategic and visual intent.
Mentor & Elevate Talent: Act as a leader and culture-carrier in the Needham studio, guiding junior-to-mid level designers, sharing design best practices, and fostering a collaborative, high-velocity creative environment.
