AI at SharkNinja
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.
SharkNinja is seeking an Outrageously Extraordinary Owner's Real Estate and Facilities Project Manager to lead complex real estate, construction, workplace, and facilities initiatives, primarily across our domestic locations, with some international projects.
Reporting to the Vice President of Corporate Services, this role serves as the owner's representative, managing projects from initial planning and design through construction, occupancy, and final closeout. The Corporate Services team enables SharkNinja's business by delivering safe, innovative, functional, and high-performing work environments that support our associates, engineering, product development, and global operations.
The ideal candidate is an experienced, hands-on project leader who can manage multiple high-priority projects simultaneously, navigate changing priorities, and deliver exceptional results while maintaining rigorous oversight of budgets, schedules, quality, and stakeholder expectations.
Success requires SharkNinja's Outrageously Extraordinary mindset—a Relentless Drive for Edge, Insatiable Impatience for Action, and a commitment to being Rarely Satisfied. We value individuals who challenge conventional thinking, act decisively, and continuously seek better ways to deliver results.
Equally important is the ability to embrace AI and emerging technologies as practical business tools to improve productivity, streamline project management, enhance reporting, and support faster, data-driven decisions. The expectation is effective AI adoption, not specialized AI development expertise.
Working Arrangement: This position is based onsite at SharkNinja's Needham, Massachusetts headquarters. In-office presence is required for collaboration and site projects, with some schedule flexibility. This is not a remote or hybrid position. Domestic and occasional international travel is required based on project needs.

- Coordinate project activities across multiple locations and time zones, including international teams and partners when required.
- Lead project meetings, design reviews, construction updates, and executive presentations, ensuring alignment on priorities, decisions, and deliverables.
