Senior Manager, Internal Audit

Location: Needham, MA (Global Headquarters)

Function: Internal Audit

Reports to: VP, Internal Audit (Chief Audit Executive)

About the Role

SharkNinja's why is extreme consumer delight and unwavering trust. Internal Audit exists to protect the trust SharkNinja earns every day, providing independent, objective assurance and insight that helps the Company create, protect, and sustain value as it grows.

Our what is concrete: we facilitate the enterprise risk management program, execute risk-based business reviews (advisory and assurance), assess internal control over financial reporting (ICFR / SOX), and deliver rapid insights when the business needs them.

Our how sets us apart: behaviors rooted in trust, value, and grit; visible and accessible wherever the work happens; and every engagement framed through why, what, and how, qualified against the three lines so we complement the teams already on the risk instead of duplicating or conflicting. We're business partners and we operate on a simple promise: no surprises.

As Senior Manager, Internal Audit, you'll be a foundational leader across that full mandate, part of a small senior human core, amplified by agentic AI teammates and on-demand co-source depth. This is a build, not a maintenance job. If you want to help design a modern audit function from the ground up, keep reading.

Here are some of the EXCITING things you'll get to do:

Facilitate the ERM program: build the smoke detectors

Help build SharkNinja's enterprise risk management approach, one that elevates the risk-sensing already in the Company's DNA rather than layering on bureaucracy, enabling faster, better, and more confident decisions.

Turn signals into action: size emerging exposures, mobilize the right owners across the lines, and track response through to resolution.

Translate the enterprise risk picture into the key input for our risk-based plan, so IA's effort always lands where the value is highest.

Execute risk-based business reviews, advisory and assurance

Plan, execute, and report business reviews driven by the risk assessment, engagements the business actually asks for, that surface insights to protect margin, strengthen processes, and accelerate growth.

Run every engagement through our why/what/how lens and the three-lines qualifier: assess and advise on the first line's work without taking it over, coordinate with the second line without duplicating it, and engage exactly where IA adds unique value.

Help formalize the intake, qualification, lifecycle, and reporting disciplines that will carry the function into a rolling 12-month plan.

Assess ICFR (SOX)

Own major components of IA's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, our primary SOX duty, including scoping input, control design evaluation, testing execution, and deficiency management.

Coordinate across the three lines and with external audit so the control story is told once, reliance is maximized, and duplication is eliminated.

Reinforce control ownership where it belongs: with management in the first line. Coach process owners so effective controls are how the business runs, not something audit does to them.

Deliver rapid insights

Be the trusted resource leaders call first: fast, risk-based answers and foresight when the business needs them, before problems get built in, not after.

Across everything

Work alongside agentic AI teammates that produce first drafts at machine speed, risk assessments, workpapers, testing, reporting, while you own the judgment and sign-off. Help train them, improve them, and define what an AI-leveraged audit function looks like.

Develop people: coach team members and co-source resources, raise the quality bar, and build a bench that gets stronger every quarter.

Communicate for impact, plainly, early, and grounded in business value. No surprises: issues reach leadership when we s…
