[Remote] Senior Innovation Technical Project Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company that focuses on creating innovative lifestyle solutions. The Senior Innovation Technical Project Manager will drive early-stage programs from initial vision through prototype, ensuring alignment across various teams and managing risks effectively.

Responsibilities

• You're the single accountable owner of your programs from Vision through prototype handoff to the NPD group. That means you define what's being built, why it matters commercially, and hold a global cross-functional organization to schedule and cost from day one
• Building and maintaining integrated master program schedules across all workstreams — mechanical, electrical, firmware, industrial design, and commercial readiness
• Driving alignment on product direction across engineering, design, commercial, finance, and supply chain teams globally
• Leading structured milestone reviews at Vision, V0, P1, and P2 — preparing materials, facilitating decisions, and ensuring clear documented outcomes
• Owning the risk register from day one: identifying, escalating, and resolving critical path risks before they hit cost or timeline
• Serving as the primary interface between the Innovation TPM team and the NPD PMO, enabling clean, structured handoffs at P2
• Delivering sharp, accurate program updates to executive leadership — bringing clarity and structure to high-pressure, ambiguous situations
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of SharkNinja's early-stage iTPM playbook

Skills

• Engineering background with 5+ years in a TPM, PM, or senior engineering project management role
• Demonstrated experience managing programs across the full product lifecycle, ideally including early-stage consumer products or electronics
• Proven ability to run integrated schedules across multiple engineering workstreams simultaneously
• Track record of influencing and presenting to senior and executive stakeholders
• Solid understanding of manufacturing processes, tooling, and DFM constraints — consumer electronics and plastics experience strongly preferred
• Comfortable creating structure and driving alignment in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Experience in pre-P2 / early-stage innovation or concept development environments
• Familiarity with stage-gate processes in a product-led consumer goods company
• PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent certification
• Budget management and P&L literacy at the program level
• Global team exposure across US, UK, and China
• SolidWorks or Creo proficiency — ability to read and interrogate engineering design data
