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. If you're the kind of leader who sees a broken process and immediately starts fixing it — keep reading.
What You'll Do
Own the Close — End to End
Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close for the Americas region with a relentless focus on accuracy, timeliness, and US GAAP compliance.
Prepare and review financial analyses, flux analyses, and management reporting packages that give senior leadership clear, actionable visibility.
Partner with FP&A on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis — bringing the accounting perspective to the table early and often.
Drive timely reconciliations and ensure aged items get resolved, not recycled.
Build Controls That Actually Work
Own and continuously strengthen the internal control environment for the Americas region, with full alignment to SOX requirements.
Be the go-to partner for internal and external auditors — managing deliverables, anticipating requests, and keeping audit cycles moving.
Stay ahead of US GAAP changes that affect the region and implement them with precision.
Play a meaningful role in SharkNinja's ongoing controls transformation — helping to mature and institutionalize a function that is being built for the long term, not just the next audit cycle.
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.
Develop People Who Want to Win
Lead, coach, and invest in a team of accounting professionals — building long-term capability, not just short-term capacity.
Create a culture of accountability, intellectual curiosity, and continuous improvement, where people are empowered to identify problems and own solutions.
Set clear expectations, deliver honest feedback, and actively champion career growth for every member of your team.
Model the "One Finance Team" mindset in everything you do — providing cross-functional leadership coverage and showing up for the broader organization.
What You Bring
Required
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
8–12 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 3 years in a leadership or management role.
Demonstrated range across multiple functional accounting areas, with the ability to flex into new ones as the business demands.
Strong command of US GAAP and SOX compliance requirements.
Experience managing or supporting external audits.
A proven track record of building and developing high-performing teams.
A process improvement mindset — not someone who maintains the status quo, but someone who dismantles it when something better is within reach.
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills, with comfort presenting to senior stakeholders.
Preferred
CPA license.
Experience in a multinational consumer products or manufacturing company.
Proficiency with Oracle ERP systems.
Experience building or scaling accounting functions in a high-growth or transformational environment.
