You are responsible AND accountable for progressing, reporting on, and actioning your and your team's deliverables.

- Provide direction and oversight into the development of product troubleshooting and "FAQs" to support a 5-star consumer experience post-purchase
- Act as the product and/or category "expert" for cross-functional team member questions and concerns
- Be called upon to take leadership of larger cross-functional "breakthroughs" that increase executive visibility and accelerate career growth.

- Ability to effectively "manage up" by communicating your top priorities and constantly seeking feedback on your and your team's work product
- A mindset geared toward building relationships across multi-functional teams, coupled with excellent interpersonal skills
- Highly-effective communication skills – both written (presentation/email) and in-person (ability to host succinct, effective conversations that solve problems and ability to make effective presentations to all levels of management, including SharkNinja's executive leadership team)
- Strong project management skills, with the ability to prioritize effectively, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and stay organized in a fast-paced environment
- A desire to learn and grow in a passionate environment
- The ability to embrace transparency and shifting priorities while learning from each decision and focusing on the path forward
