Shark

Ninjato enter multiple product categories, driving significant growth and market share gains. Headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts with more than4,100associates, the company’s products are sold at key retailers, online and offline, and through distributors around the world.

At Shark Ninja, 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.

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.

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

This is not a role for someone who delegates execution…
