About the Role
At SharkNinja, we create innovative products that delight consumers and define categories. As we continue our rapid expansion across Europe, we are seeking a strategic, commercially minded, and data-driven leader to elevate our EMEA commercial planning capability and bring greater clarity to how we forecast, align, and execute across markets.
Reporting to the Global VP, this role is the EMEA owner of commercial forecast orchestration. You will be accountable for delivering a consistent, insight-led, and action-ready forecast across the UK, France, Germany, and Emerging EMEA. Sitting at the intersection of Sales, Finance, SS&A, and Operations, you will lead the regional rhythm of the business-aligning global expectations with local market realities and turning complexity into commercial advantage.
This is a career-defining opportunity for a leader who thrives in high-growth environments, enjoys untangling ambiguity, and can convert data, insight, and robust cross-functional debate into decisions that accelerate performance.
If you are excited by building world-class capability, influencing at the most senior levels, and raising the planning maturity of an entire region-this is your stage.
