About Us

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company, with a diversified portfolio of 5-star rated lifestyle solutions that positively impact people’s lives in homes around the world.

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 build products that redefine categories and win with consumers. As our three largest and most complex European markets UKI, France and Germany continue to scale at pace, we are looking for a Senior Director of Commercial Planning to shape how we forecast, align and execute.

Reporting to the VP EMEA, this role owns commercial planning across these priority markets and sits at the centre of Sales, Finance, SS&A and Operations. You will bring clarity to complexity, turn volatility into insight, and materially raise the quality of decision‑making across SharkNinja’s most critical European markets.

This is a highly visible leadership role for someone who thrives in growth, enjoys ambiguity, and knows how to translate data, debate and insight into action.

What you will do

• Own the end‑to‑end commercial planning rhythm across UKI, France and Germany, delivering a single, high‑quality, insight‑led forecast.
• Act as the single point of accountability for forecast quality, alignment and execution across markets.
• Turn complexity into commercial advantage by pressure‑testing assumptions, running scenarios and shaping forward‑looking views for senior leaders.
• Create durable alignment across Sales, Finance, SS&A and Operations, converting debate into clear decisions and priorities.
• Build and lead a high‑performing commercial planning team, raising planning maturity, capability and pace.
• Represent UKI, France and Germany in global planning forums, translating global direction into clear, executable local plans.

What you will bring

• Deep experience in commercial planning, IBP, S&O or forecasting within CPG, consumer durables or retail and e‑commerce.
• Proven leadership across large, complex European markets, ideally including the UK, France and Germany.
• Strong commercial judgement, data fluency and the ability to influence senior leaders with clear, compelling insight.
• Comfort operating in fast‑moving, high‑growth environments with ambiguity and change.
• An ability to bring structure, clarity and momentum to complex, cross‑functional problems.
• Fluency in English, with French and or German a strong advantage.
