Director of Accounting, Americas Location: Needham, MA (Hybrid) Reports to: Americas Controller We Don't Do Ordinary. Neither Should You. At SharkNinja, we move fast, think big, and build things that last. We've disrupted category after category by refusing to accept "good enough" — and our Finance team is no different. We're looking for a Director of Accounting who doesn't just close the books, but makes the entire process sharper, faster, and more scalable every single month. This is a high-impact role at the center of our Americas finance organization. You'll own the close, strengthen our controls, modernize our workflows, and develop a team of accounting professionals who are as hungry to improve as you are.

Break What's Broken. Build What's Better. Conduct a clear-eyed audit of existing accounting processes and relentlessly pursue opportunities to simplify, automate, globalize, and scale. Lead workflow modernization initiatives that reduce manual effort, compress the close cycle, and build for where the business is going — not where it's been. Leverage Oracle ERP, AI, and reporting tools to drive data quality, visibility, and efficiency across the function. Support system implementations and enhancements as we continue to evolve our technology infrastructure. Take Ownership Across the Board Own accounting processes and technical guidance across multiple functional areas — and be willing to lean into new or ambiguous territory as the business grows. Step up when it matters. This role requires flexibility, range, and a genuine willingness to go beyond a defined scope.
