Senior Product Developer- Shark Beauty

About Us
SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company, with a diversified portfolio of 5-star rated lifestyle solutions that positively impact people's lives in homes around the world. Powered by two trusted, global brands, Shark and Ninja, the company has a proven track record of bringing disruptive innovation to market, and developing one consumer product after another has allowed SharkNinja to enter multiple product categories, driving significant growth and market share gains. Headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts with more than 3,300+ associates, the company's products are sold at key retailers, online and offline, and through distributors around the world.
The Product Development organization within SharkNinja drives our global product roadmap from concept to shelf through the constant lens of the consumer. We are the "product CEOs" and partner cross-functionally with almost every other team within the company to drive high satisfaction for our end user and to drive business results. We are comprised of individuals from a variety of professional and educational backgrounds, from product marketing managers to consumer-focused engineers - but we all have one thing in common: we're consistently striving to deliver a 5-star experience for every customer on every product we bring to market.
Responsibilities:

• Support the Shark Beauty business onsite in our Needham, MA headquarters with the development of successful and profitable programs for key products to ensure continued growth of the product portfolio - you will assist in leading new product development (creation and management) of assigned product(s) from brainstorm phase through mass production, as well as partner with leadership to define the over-arching category direction to a team of product developers. You are responsible AND accountable for progressing, reporting on, and actioning your and your team's deliverables.

• Define, develop, and iterate product specifications, marrying consumer wants/needs, white space in the market, and product technologies as the primary consumer advocate.

• Take ownership of your assigned categories' sales performance - partnering with others in the company to identify what products are working/not working; and recommend new product opportunities to fill those gaps.

• Lead competitive product analyses, giving your business partners insight into how Shark stacks up against the competition - and maintaining a clear lens on how we can constantly improve to make Shark the consumer's top choice every time.

• Be the voice of our legacy product lines: share insights and learnings from consumers and the market with Product Developers focused on NPD to ensure critical features and feedback are incorporated into next generation products.

• Partner with SharkNinja Testing and Quality organizations to define, develop, and manage quality and performance testing procedures.

• Act as the product "expert" for cross-functional team member questions and concerns.
  ATTRIBUTES & SKILLS:

• 4-5+ years of experience in product development, product marketing, marketing, human factors engineering, or a related field - preferable at a consumer goods company.

• Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent experience) in Business, Marketing, Management, Engineering, or a combination of the above.

• A "100% on" consumer-first perspective when it comes to introducing new products/processes or improving current products.

• A mindset geared toward building relationships across multi-functional teams, coupled with excellent interpersonal skills.

• COMMUNICATING FOR IMPACT, one of SharkNinja's SUCCESS DRIVERS, is immensely critical in this role. Highly-effective communication skills - both written (presentation/email) and face-to-face (ability to host succinct, effective conversations that solve problems and ability to make effective presentations to all levels of management) - are required.

• Strong project management skills, with the ability to prioritize effectively, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and stay organized in a fast-paced environment.

• A desire to learn and grow in a passionate environment.
• The ability to embrace transparency and shifting priorities while learning from each decision and focusing on the path forward.
