Applied AI & Analytics Associate, SharkNinja

• 1–2+ years of experience in analytics, data science, consulting, or a fast-paced, data-driven environment
• Strong, practical command of SQL, Python, or comparable tools — you work with data directly, not through intermediaries
• Demonstrated ability to take an ambiguous problem, structure it, and deliver a clear answer
• Experience building dashboards or analytical tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or similar)
• Exceptional communication skills — you can explain what the data says to both engineers and executives in the same meeting
• A track record of ownership: you follow through, you close the loop, and you make things happen

Desirable

• At SharkNinja, we've built a culture around one simple belief: the best answer wins. Not the loudest opinion. Not the most senior voice in the room. The best answer — backed by data, delivered with clarity, and executed with urgency
• We're hiring three Applied AI & Analytics Associates to sit inside the Office of the CEO. This is not a support role. It is not a reporting role. It 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, and believe that a clean insight delivered fast beats a perfect deck delivered late — read on
• This team runs point on high-impact, cross-functional priorities across the company. You'll be handed incomplete questions — and expected to turn them into complete answers
• On any given week, you might:
• Receive a vague but urgent business question from a senior leader and independently scope, pull, clean, and analyze the data to produce a clear recommendation — fast
• Build a lightweight dashboard, model, or workflow that a team can actually use (not just admire)
• Identify a blind spot in how a team is measuring success and fix it before it becomes a problem
• Use AI tools to accelerate your own analysis — and help others do the same
• Present findings to a cross-functional audience and make a complex topic land simply
• Connect the dots between data from multiple teams to surface something no single team could see on their own
• Spot a broken process or a data gap and propose a better way, without waiting for permission
• This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will move fast, iterate often, and be expected to deliver outcomes — not activity
