Applied AI & Analytics Associate, Office of the CEO

Miami, FL | Office of the CEO — Data, Analytics & AI

You Don't Wait to Be Asked. Neither Do We.

At SharkNinja, we've built a culture around one simple belief: the best answer wins. Not the loudest opinion. Not the most senior voice in the room. The best answer — backed by data, delivered with clarity, and executed with urgency.

We're hiring an Applied AI & Analytics Associate to sit inside the Office of the CEO. This is not a support role. This is not a reporting role. This is a problem-solving role — one where you'll work directly alongside the VP, Chief of Staff to the CEO and senior leaders across the company to crack open the problems that matter most and turn them into decisions that drive the business forward.

If you thrive in ambiguity, build before you're told to, move fast across functions, and believe that a clean insight delivered fast beats a perfect deck delivered late — read on.

What You'll Actually Do

You will be an analytics and AI professional embedded in the Office of the CEO, contributing to high-impact analytical work across the company and contributing to how SharkNinja uses data and AI to make better decisions.

This is not a single-team support role. You'll move across functions — working with product, operations, finance, supply chain, marketing — on whatever problems matter most to the business right now.

On any given week, you might:

• Partner with the VP and Chief of Staff on analytical questions that require structured problem-framing, data modeling, or clear recommendations
• Contribute to multi-week analytical initiatives from scoping through delivery, working with senior stakeholders on managing expectations and timelines
• Build and maintain dashboards, decision-support tools, and analytical models that help senior leaders operate more effectively
• Use LLMs, AI automation, or machine learning to accelerate your own analysis and help other teams do the same
• Identify gaps in how the company tracks performance and propose practical improvements in collaboration with finance, operations, and product teams
• Work with teams to adopt analytical approaches or tools, contributing to broader adoption and impact
• Introduce better analytical methods and tools to raise the quality and consistency of output across teams
• Communicate findings clearly to senior stakeholders — translating complex analysis into straightforward recommendations that connect to business outcomes
• Connect the dots between data from multiple functions to surface insights no single team could see on their own
• Help support and review work from junior analysts or co-ops, contributing to their development

This is a hands-on role based in our Miami office with real ownership over analytical delivery and measurable business impact. You will work on complex problems with appropriate support from senior stakeholders and produce high-quality work.

What It Takes to Win Here

Must Have:

• 2+ years of experience in analytics, data science, or consulting with a demonstrated track record of analytical delivery
• Hands-on experience deploying or building with LLMs, generative AI, or automation tools — not just familiarity, but practical usage in real work
• Strong working command of SQL and Python — you pull and manipulate data directly and can build scalable analytical solutions
• Proficiency building dashboards and analytical tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or similar)
• Clear communication skills — you can present findings to senior stakeholders and explain complex analysis in plain language
• Demonstrated ability to take an ambiguous business question and structure a complete analytical approach
• Experience managing multiple workstreams and delivering against timelines with limited oversight
• Previous project or program management experience — managing scope, timelines, and cross-functional coordination
• Understanding of impact orientation — you connect your analytical work to business results and can articulate what changed because of your analysis
• Experience contributing to adoption — you've worked on building or improving a tool, process, or approach that a team has used; you're learning what it takes to drive change

Even Better If You Have:

• Background in consumer products, retail, or e-commerce — you understand margin dynamics, go-to-market, and how these businesses scale
• Experience with advanced statistical methods — experimentation, time-series analysis, or applied ML
• Hands-on experience with large-scale data infrastructure — designing data pipelines, working with modern cloud platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks)
• Prior exposure to working alongside executive or senior leadership teams
• Experience identifying and solving systemic problems — moving beyond answering a single question to fixing how a team or function operates

Tools & Stack

• Languages: SQL, Python (strong proficiency); R, Scala, or equivalent a plus
• BI & Visualization: Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or similar — deep proficiency in at least one platform
• Data Platforms: Hands-on experience with modern cloud data platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks)
• AI & Automation: Production experience with LLMs, generative AI, or automation tools — not just familiarity, but deployed solutions
• Collaboration Tools: Slack, Jira, Asana, or similar for cross-functional coordination

Why This Role, Why Now

SharkNinja is one of the fastest-growing consumer product companies in the world. We operate with the intensity of a startup and the scale of a global brand — and the Office of the CEO is where the most important, cross-cutting work gets done.

This role gives you direct exposure to how a company at this scale makes decisions, solves hard problems, and keeps moving. You will not be on the sidelines. You will be in the room. You will work across the entire company, not in service of a single function.

If you want a role where you can see the impact of your work — where you're not just producing output but driving outcomes — and where you're building capability that others actually use, this is it.

Summary

As a Product Design Director at Shift4, you will be the cornerstone of design innovation and collaboration, reporting directly to the VP, Product Design. You will lead the Shift4 Dine design strategy through complexity and ambiguity, crafting AI‑native user experiences that exemplify impact, consistency, simplicity, and elegance across platforms and systems.

You will own the end‑to‑end design vision for Shift4 Dine and drive key initiatives across Web and Android, ensuring a cohesive, modern experience that thoughtfully incorporates AI into critical workflows. 

The ideal candidate has a background as a traditional UI designer (pixel‑perfect visuals, deep Figma expertise, strong interaction design) and has layered on AI‑native thinking, front‑end fluency, and a pragmatic understanding of how AI is reshaping design and development in 2026.

This is an onsite role based at Shift4's Tampa, FL location. 

Relocation assistance may be available. 

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of intuitive, high‑impact user experiences across the Shift4 product portfolio, with primary ownership of Shift4 Dine and key initiatives on Web and Android.
• Define and evolve an AI‑native experience strategy for Shift4 Dine: identify where AI (copilots, recommendations, automation, generative flows) meaningfully improves merchant and staff workflows—and where it should not.
• Leverage AI‑powered design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma AI features, Claude‑style assistants, code‑aware tools) to explore concepts, generate variants, and rapidly move from idea to interactive prototype.
• Act as a hands‑on design leader on complex, cross‑platform projects while mentoring and directing other designers to elevate craft, quality, and consistency.
• Translate user insights, data, and product strategy into clear design hypotheses and solutions that drive merchant adoption, satisfaction, and measurable business outcomes.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align on product strategy, scope, technical constraints, and delivery timelines; ensure design decisions are grounded in what is feasible in today’s AI‑enabled stack.
• Establish and champion AI UX patterns for the portfolio (assistants, inline suggestions, explainability, error and fallback states, human‑in‑the‑loop correction) and ensure they are implemented consistently across products.
• Contribute to, govern, and evolve scalable design systems, patterns, and best practices across platforms—ensuring components, tokens, and documentation are “AI‑ready” for design‑to‑code workflows.
• Use AI tools to streamline design workflows (research synthesis, content and UX copy, documentation, design QA) while maintaining a critical eye for quality, bias, and brand alignment.
• Navigate ambiguity and rapidly changing AI capabilities; balance long‑term strategic investments with near‑term iterative delivery to ensure outcomes meet both user and business needs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Design or equivalent experience.
• 9+ years in UI/UX or product design with a portfolio showing end‑to‑end product work and strong visual/interaction design across Web and Android.
• Expert proficiency in Figma (components, variants, auto‑layout, tokens, Dev Mode) and experience working with design systems at scale.
• Working knowledge of front‑end fundamentals (HTML/CSS, component/state thinking; React or similar) to read and lightly edit UI code and review AI‑generated output.
• Understanding of how Figma components map to React/Vue components and how design tokens map to CSS/Tailwind, including implications for design‑to‑code and AI tooling.
• Experience using AI tools in the design workflow (e.g., generating UX copy, exploring layout alternatives, creating documentation, or quality‑controlling AI‑generated assets).
• Proven experience contributing to and evolving design systems, patterns, and frameworks—and implementing them directly in design and prototyping tools.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor designers, influence cross‑functional partners, and navigate ambiguity while balancing long‑term strategy with pragmatic execution.
