Sr. Financial Analyst – Commercial 

FP&A – Commercial  |  Reports to Sr. Finance Director, Media & Commercial 

Position Summary  

Our mission to positively impact people's lives every day in every home around the world allows our employees to be thinkers and tinkerers, designers and doers, creators and number crunchers — makers of things they love. 

SharkNinja moves fast. Our products are in millions of homes, and the commercial engine behind that growth runs hard: Sales, Consumer Direct, Supply Chain, Customer Experience, and Sales Operations. This role sits at the center of it. As a Sr. Financial Analyst, you’ll manage operating expenses globally across a broad set of commercial teams, drive important tradeoff decisions, and translate the numbers into clear, decision-ready insights for senior leaders. If you’re energized by variety and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this role is for you. 

What You'll Do 

Financial Planning & Analysis 

• Own the FP&A cycle — budgeting, forecasting, and actuals — for operating expenses that drive business growth across all commercial teams. 

• Build and maintain financial models that drive clarity and speed for business partners. 

• Deliver monthly actuals packages to executive business leaders with KPI-driven variance analysis that goes beyond the numbers to explain the story. 

• Partner with commercial leaders on spend and investment decisions — surfacing tradeoffs and flagging risks before they become surprises. 

• Support scenario modeling and ad hoc analysis as the business evaluates new opportunities and strategic investments. 

Reporting & Insight Generation 

• Build analysis and presentations that translate complex financial data into clear, decision-ready insights. 

• Use AI tools and automation to accelerate workflows and unlock capacity for higher-value analysis. 

• Leverage tools including Power BI to develop dashboards and reporting infrastructure that scales with the business. 

• Identify and implement process improvements that reduce cycle time, improve forecast accuracy, and free the business to move faster. 

Cross-Functional Partnership 

• Serve as a trusted financial partner to commercial leaders, helping connect the dots across business segments. 

• Collaborate with FP&A colleagues to ensure consistency and alignment across the broader global finance organization. 

• Support special projects and strategic initiatives as the business evolves. 

• Influence business partners and support them in managing operating expenses within budget. 

What You Bring 

• Finance foundation with understanding of FP&A concepts and rhythms, with experience in budgeting and actuals management. 

• The ability to translate complex financial data into clear narratives for non-finance audiences, including senior leadership. 

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Power BI; experience with Snowflake, SQL, or similar data environments is a plus. 

• Fluency (or a genuine appetite) for AI and automation tools.  

• Solid analytical instincts and sharp attention to detail, with the judgment to know what matters. 

• The ability to operate with autonomy, manage competing priorities, and deliver in a fast-paced environment. 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills. 

Education & Experience 

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field 

• 3–5 years of experience in FP&A, accounting, data analysis, or a related role
