Job summary

SharkNinja is seeking a Director, HRBP for the EMEA region to partner with senior leaders, coaching them through day-to-day complexities and driving high-performing teams across markets. Reporting to the EMEA CPO, you will shape org design and lead workforce planning with hands-on, practical leadership.

You will own workforce strategy, partner with CoEs and People Experience, and ensure delivery with rigor, speed, and clarity across diverse jurisdictions.

Qualifications

• A track record of doing — not just directing — HR work at senior level in fast-paced environments.
• Skilled at working across CoEs (Talent Acquisition, L&D, Reward) and People Experience to get things done — influencing without authority and making partnerships genuinely productive
• A reputation for being visible, trusted, and direct with senior stakeholders
• Strong coaching capability — you've demonstrably made leaders better
• Comfort with ambiguity and matrix organisations; you create clarity, you don't wait for it
• Bias for action and low tolerance for unnecessary process

Responsibilities

• Be present with leaders — not a layer above them
• Show up in the detail — org decisions, difficult conversations, team dynamics
• Own your outcomes end-to-end, partnering closely with CoEs and People Experience to deliver
• Own workforce planning, headcount and people budget management
• Lead org design work through to implementation, not just the deck
• Drive change initiatives with pace; see them through to adoption
• Set and hold high performance standards with leaders
• Lead talent reviews, succession planning, and pipeline work that actually influence decisions
• Spot and address underperformance early; translate local employment law requirements to leadership
• Balance commercial pragmatism with compliance across multiple jurisdictions
