Desirable

• We're hiring an Applied AI & Analytics Associate to sit inside the Office of the CEO

This is a problem-solving role — one where you'll work directly alongside the VP, Chief of Staff to the CEO and senior leaders across the company to crack open the problems that matter most and turn them into decisions that drive the business forward
• If you thrive in ambiguity, build before you're told to, move fast across functions, and believe that a clean insight delivered fast beats a perfect deck delivered late — read on
• You will be an analytics and AI professional embedded in the Office of the CEO, contributing to high-impact analytical work across the company and contributing to how SharkNinja uses data and AI to make better decisions

• Contribute to multi-week analytical initiatives from scoping through delivery, working with senior stakeholders on managing expectations and timelines

• Help support and review work from junior analysts or co-ops, contributing to their development
• This is a hands-on role based in our Miami office with real ownership over analytical delivery and measurable business impact. You will work on complex problems with appropriate support from senior stakeholders and produce high-quality work
