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.

Director, HRBP - EMEA

## The Role

We're looking for a Director, HRBP who rolls up their sleeves. Not a strategist who hands work downstream. Not a consultant who surfaces insight and moves on. Someone who stays in the room, does the work, and is the person our senior leaders call when things get hard.

You'll partner directly with functional leaders across EMEA — coaching them, challenging them, and being genuinely present in the day-to-day complexity of running high-performing teams across multiple markets.

Reporting to the EMEA CPO.

## What You'll Actually Do

Be present with leaders — not a layer above them

- Build deep, trusted relationships with senior leaders; be their first call, not a last resort
- Show up in the detail — org decisions, difficult conversations, team dynamics — not just the set-piece moments
- Own your outcomes end-to-end, partnering closely with CoEs and People Experience to deliver — but never using them as a reason to step back

Shape the org — then make it work

- Ensure the right people in the right roles at the right time using the levers in your toolbox: e.g. capability development, talent assessment, hiring, strategic workforce manager
- Lead org design work through to implementation, not just the deck
- Drive change initiatives with pace; see them through to adoption
- Own workforce planning, headcount and people budget management — building the plan, tracking it, and holding the line as priorities shift
- Set and hold high performance standards with leaders — with pace and without ambiguity
- Lead talent reviews, succession planning, and pipeline work that actually influence decisions
- Spot and address underperformance early; don't wait for it to become a crisis
- Partner with people managers and local HR Management teams to translate local employment law requirements to leadership
- Balance commercial pragmatism with compliance across multiple jurisdictions

Coach, don't just advise

- Work hands-on with senior leaders to improve how they lead, give feedback, and build their teams
- Drive capability where it's needed, not just where it's easy

## What You'll Bring

- A track record of doing — not just directing — HR work at senior level in fast-paced environments
- Skilled at working across CoEs (Talent Acquisition, L&D, Reward) and People Experience to get things done — influencing without authority and making partnerships genuinely productive
- A reputation for being visible, trusted, and direct with senior stakeholders
- Strong coaching capability — you've demonstrably made leaders better
- Comfort with ambiguity and matrix organisations; you create clarity, you don't wait for it
- Bias for action and low tolerance for unnecessary process

What This Isn't

This is not a role for someone who delegates execution to their team and focuses on strategy. If your instinct is to build a centre of excellence and step back, this probably isn't the right fit. We need someone who is energised by being close to the work — and who makes our CoEs and People Experience teams more effective by being a strong, demanding partner to them.

Our Culture

At SharkNinja, we don’t just raise the bar—we push past it every single day.  Our Outrageously Extraordinary mindset drives us to tackle the impossible, push boundaries, and deliver results that others only dream of. If you thrive on breaking out of your swim lane, you’ll be right at home.

## What We Offer

We offer competitive health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, employee stock purchase options, wellness programs, SharkNinja product discounts, and more. We empower your personal and professional growth with high impact Learning Programs featuring bold voices redefining what’s possible. When you join, you’re not just part of a company—you’re part of an outrageously extraordinary community. Together, we won’t just launch products—we’ll disrupt entire markets.

At SharkNinja, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are vital to our global success. Valuing each unique voice and blending all of our diverse skills strengthens SharkNinja’s innovation every day. We support ALL associates in bringing their authentic selves to work, making an impact, and having the opportunity for career acceleration. With help from our leadership, associates, and our community, we aim to have equity be a key component of the SharkNinja DNA.
