Program Managers at Shark Ninja own the entire New Product Development (NPD) process for our Skincare team, from concept to shelf. Program Managers deliver sustainable, best-in-class product development thinking, governance, and process to enable the organization to execute the skincare program portfolio flawlessly. Associate Program Managers work cross-functionally, providing exposure and visibility on a global scale while acting in a general manager capacity.

Program Managers lead via influence and are responsible for establishing and driving timelines and resources to develop, manufacture, and launch skincare products with a high degree of speed and efficiency, ensuring a 5-star consumer experience in efficacy, sensory, safety, and quality, and a high rate of sales.

A Shark Ninja Skincare Program Manager thinks, acts, and leads their programs like a global leader for every project they manage, and owns the overall success of the program with a steady focus on Scope, Cost, and Schedule. They are the glue that holds the team together by owning communication streams across all groups to ensure risks are mitigated and deliverables are completed on time.

They operate with urgency, ensuring that scope creep, cost risks, and schedule slips are escalated to senior management in parallel with driving resolutions.
