Lead Creative Strategist, Social Media - Ninja

About Us  

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company, with a diversified portfolio of 5-star rated lifestyle solutions that positively impact people’s lives in homes around the world. Powered by two trusted, global brands, Shark and Ninja, the company has a proven track record of bringing disruptive innovation to market, and developing one consumer product after another has allowed SharkNinja to enter multiple product categories, driving significant growth and market share gains. Headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts with more than 3,600+ associates, the company’s products are sold at key retailers, online and offline, and through distributors around the world.   

As our brands scale globally, social isn’t a support channel, it’s where discovery, conversation, and demand are created. We’re building a social creative engine designed to move at the speed of culture, and we’re looking for creative leaders who can help shape it. 

Why This Role Matters 

Social-first creative at SharkNinja is built to be felt, shared, and acted on rather than passively watched. 

The Lead Creative Strategist is the creative owner for Ninja on social. This role is embedded within the social creative team, accountable for what ships, and responsible for ensuring our content earns attention in-feed and in culture. 

This is a hands-on creative role for someone who can ideate, write, direct, and make — while partnering closely with our Social Strategy team, Social Studios team, internal creators, and external collaborators to bring ideas to life at scale.

• Develop social-first ideas that balance entertainment, product storytelling, and cultural relevance across organic, paid and influencer/creator content

• Contribute to evolving creative playbooks and best practices across the social org 

What Success Looks Like 

• Social content that earns engagement because it’s worth engaging with

• Strong partnership with studios and creators that results in consistent, high-quality output 

Who You Are

• A true hybrid: you can think conceptually and execute hands-on 

• Fluent in internet culture, platforms, and formats — you know what works and why 

• Comfortable directing others but never afraid to make things yourself 

• Opinionated, collaborative, and allergic to boring content
