ABOUT THE ROLE

SharkNinja is entering its next era of global expansion — faster, bolder, and more interconnected than ever. To power that ambition, we are hiring a VP, Global Commercial Planning to architect and lead the commercial planning engine that fuels our growth.

This is not a traditional planning role. It is a transformational leadership mandate.

You will own and elevate SharkNinja’s global commercial planning rhythm — ensuring our Sales Forecast is delivered with clarity, conviction, and precision at speed. This is a mission-critical role at the heart of the Planning function, connecting Sales, Finance, SS&A, and Operations through a seamless cadence that turns complexity into aligned action.

You will design the operating tempo for a business that refuses to stand still. Every forum will be intentional. Every discussion will drive decisions. Every forecast will tell a story strong enough to move the organisation forward with confidence.

This leader sets the pace. Raises the bar. Removes friction. And builds a planning system capable of keeping up with — and accelerating — SharkNinja’s growth trajectory.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Own and drive SharkNinja’s global commercial planning rhythm, architecting the full calendar across Consensus and Pressure Test Reviews to create clarity, discipline, and operating tempo across markets.

• Lead true cross-functional alignment, uniting Sales, Finance, SS&A, and Operations behind a single, compelling forecast narrative that drives coordinated action.

• Raise the standard of forecast readiness, ensuring submissions are complete, pressure-tested, insight-led, and decision-ready before entering any forum.

• Elevate accountability by coaching Sales leaders to fully own their number and narrative, supported by strong reason-to-believe logic and sharp variance insights.

• Transform planning forums into high-impact decision environments, structuring discussions intentionally to drive prioritisation, trade-offs, and rapid course correction.

• Deliver innovation and continuous evolution within Planning, strengthening Planning Hypotheses, improving forecast confidence, and modernising how we plan across markets of varying maturity.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• 15+ years of leadership experience in Company Planning or Integrated Business Planning, with deep expertise orchestrating forecasts across regions and functions.

• A proven track record of designing and scaling high-performance planning cadences that materially improve forecast confidence, speed, and accountability.

• Strong executive facilitation and storytelling skills, able to translate complexity into clear decisions, aligned priorities, and decisive action.

• Demonstrated success in fast-paced, high-growth CPG or consumer goods environments where precision and urgency are non-negotiable.

• The confidence and judgement to navigate ambiguity, make informed decisions quickly, and enable others to operate with the same bias for action.

• A collaborative, high-energy leadership style that thrives on cross-functional debate, sharp thinking, and driving extraordinary results.
