Role
Who you are
- Ideally, 5+ years of progam operations experience with experience working across events, productions or multi-media
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and navigates ambiguity well:
- For instance, you might have successfully led a project with tight deadlines and shifting requirements, ensuring timely delivery while adapting to new information and changes
- The ability to self-manage, take initiative, and work independently:
- For example, you may have led projects where you’ve taken a brief and built an end-to-end process, or identified a gap in an approach and helped plug this gap whilst collaborating closely with stakeholders throughout
- You’ll balance a strong bias for action, with the need to develop high quality solutions:
- For example, you might have quickly developed a prototype to address an urgent audience need, while simultaneously planning for a more robust, long-term solution to ensure high quality and sustainability
- You’re humble and curious to learn. For example, you’ll be someone who actively seeks out feedback without being asked and knows how to frame questions to get context (perhaps you have some experience in coaching or consulting, just as an example)
What the job involves
- The team (tX) is a strategic partner to the business and exists to help leaders and teams deliver outrageously extraordinary (OE) results through a mix of:
- End-to-end talent practices (e.g. onboarding, leader development); leader-led solutions, that are integrated into employees’ day-to-day work (e.g. toolkits or resources deployed at team-level); and longer term high impact initiatives (e.g. that look at how we drive impact to business ways of working)
- The Talent Management, Project Manager (EMEA) role, is a key enabler for our EMEA team to support a region that has seen fast business growth in recent years
- For this role, we’re especially looking for someone who can wear multiple “hats”, and has skillsets related to ‘creative production’ as well as project management (e.g. yes, you will oversee EMEA tX schedules, and we also need you to get involved in the creative side of our work: have an eye for what great videos look like or visually engaging comms related to a project)
- Working across all our “product categories” and initiatives (including, but not exclusively, Leadership, Onboarding, OE mindset and Team Effectiveness), you’ll work with the wider team to ensure that these are executed flawlessly
- This includes everything from being the EMEA PoC for both global and regional initiatives, to inputting and supporting on local tX comms
- You’ll collaborate with colleagues in our Global People & Culture team (Needham, MA), and support with global initiatives (e.g. Digital Hub, Quarterly Hacks) as needed
- Mastermind Projects: Oversee day-to-day operations for EMEA tX. You'll be the go-to person for EMEA when it comes to managing and executing projects across the tX portfolio. Your attention to detail will ensure nothing falls through the cracks
- Strategic Support: Assist in the development and implementation of company-wide initiatives and projects
- Digital Native: You’ll be a digital native or a fast learner when it comes to navigating technology or creative tools to ensure projects are led and run effectively
- Working closely with team members in our HQ, you’ll ensure our EMEA team are up to speed on how we’re using technology as a function
- Data and Evaluation: You’ll be data savvy and think about how we are reporting on progress and telling the impact story in captivating ways
- Innovative Solutions: When plans change, you'll be ready with creative alternatives. Your experience in areas such as event management or production (just to give examples) will shine as you navigate challenges with ease
- Resource Guru: You'll make sure every tX event and initiative is fully equipped for success. From coordinating with local vendors, for region-specific initiatives, to being the EMEA PoC when it comes to managing material needed for local delivery
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Consumer demand for new and better home appliances continues to grow. SharkNinja serves this demand by designing and manufacturing innovative home goods and devices. Specifically, it has a growing line of solutions that consist of Shark cleaning and home care products and Ninja kitchen appliances.
SharkNinja has been in operation since 1994, which is testament to the quality and popularity of its products. Since its initial launch in Canada, the company has expanded into the US and the UK. In 2017 SharkNinja was bought by CDH Private Equity for over $1.5 Billion, further proof of its impressive market value. Perhaps more evidence is that it brings in annual revenues of around $4B.
SharkNinja’s main challenge is facing down big-name competitors such as home appliance giant Dyson. In fact, through innovative design, it seized the market-leading spot in traditional vacuums from Dyson and is only second to iRobot in sales of robotic models. A 2023 IPO saw an extra $296 million in funding added to SharkNinja's pot and was followed by product launches in new sectors such as air conditioning and food cooling, indicating that the company is still full of new product ideas.
