At Shark Ninja, culture is our engine for growth — our True Edge and our competitive advantage. We keep the owner-founder ethos and the fierce, winning spirit that shapes how we build teams, develop talent, and win. This role sits at the centre of that: it turns our culture and our ambitions for our people into learning experiences that change how Sharks lead, manage, and perform.

This is a dual-mandate role. On one side, you lead Learning & Development globally — accountable for building a high-performing L&D practice across every region. On the other, you lead Talent Acceleration delivery in the US

• Design and development: build learning experiences across our priorities — reinforcing our culture, building our managers and leaders, and upskilling our employees — using the full range of modalities (in-person, virtual, digital, social, on-the-job, and AI-enabled).
• Signature programs: own our global onboarding experience that immerses new hires in our culture and accelerates their impact, our manager and leadership capability build, and the culture programs that embed how we work into the organization.
• Learning technology and systems: own the learning technology stack and the systems, platforms, and infrastructure that let learning scale — selecting,…
