Sales Operations Manager – Commercial Expansion Team (North America)

At SharkNinja, we’re building an AI-native culture. We’re not waiting for the future; we’re creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what’s possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn’t been invented yet, you’ll fit right in.

The Sales Operations Manager drives operational efficiency, sales strategy execution, and business performance for the Commercial Expansion Team — the group responsible for SharkNinja's US and Canadian distributor business and downstream retailer, e-tailer, and dealer partners. This is a hands-on, analytical role: you'll own forecasting, inventory, and trade spend rigor while building strong working relationships with distributor replenishment teams. Success requires someone who's comfortable owning ambiguous, under-resourced processes and building the systems and cadences that don't yet exist.
