AI at SharkNinja

At SharkNinja, we’re building an AI-native culture. We’re not waiting for the future; we’re creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what’s possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn’t been invented yet, you’ll fit right in.

What if you could help extraordinary leaders expand what's possible and translate that potential into measurable business performance? At SharkNinja, we believe extraordinary business results begin with extraordinary human performance.

We're building a world-class Performance Acceleration team that brings the science of human performance into the realities of business leadership: helping leaders think more effectively, respond to pressure as a catalyst not a constraint, unlock the potential of their teams, and deliver breakthrough results.

We're seeking a Director of Performance Acceleration who combines deep expertise in performance psychology with strong business acumen and the ability to turn psychological insight into practical, observable performance improvement.

This is not a traditional executive coaching role.

Our Directors operate inside the business, partnering closely with VP+ leaders, their managers, and their teams to identify what's getting in the way of performance, develop the capabilities required to overcome those barriers, and create the conditions for sustained success. You'll work with leaders navigating consequential business challenges, high-stakes decisions, organizational transformation, and ambitious growth objectives.

Key Responsibilities

Accelerate Leadership Performance: Partner with VP+ leaders to identify critical business objectives, diagnose performance barriers, and develop the psychological and behavioral capabilities required to deliver breakthrough results through 1:1 Coaching
Apply Performance Psychology: Leverage evidence-based mental performance principles to strengthen decision-making, attentional control, emotional regulation, adaptability, resilience, and execution under pressure.
Design Targeted Coaching Interventions: Utilize psychological assessments, behavioral observations, stakeholder feedback, and business context to identify root causes of performance gaps and develop individualized coaching strategies.
Embed Coaching in the Business: Observe leaders in real business environments, provide timely and actionable feedback, and integrate deliberate practice into high-stakes decisions, leadership interactions, and day-to-day execution.
Accelerate Team Performance: Design and facilitate Performance Labs, leadership workshops, and team interventions that strengthen trust, alignment, accountability, collaboration, and collective execution.
Partner with Key Stakeholders: Build strong relationships with leaders' managers and relevant stakeholders to align development priorities with business expectations, reinforce behavioral change, and sustain performance improvement.
Measure Performance Impact: Establish clear success measures and evaluate progress through business outcomes, observable behavioral change, stakeholder feedback, and individual development.
Build Scalable Performance Capabilities: Collaborate with the broader Performance Acceleration team to develop, refine, and scale proprietary methodologies, practical tools, and performance playbooks across the organization.
