AI Designer

About SharkNinja

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company obsessed with one thing: making people's lives easier at home. With two iconic brands — Shark and Ninja — we design, develop, and market breakthrough products across floor care, cooking, beauty, and more. Our Creative team sits at the center of how we tell that story, and we're investing in the tools and talent to tell it better, faster, and at scale.

The Opportunity

We're building out an AI-native design practice inside SharkNinja's Creative organization, and this role is a foundational piece of that build. As an AI Designer, you'll work at the intersection of generative AI and brand storytelling — using emerging tools to produce, iterate, and scale visual content across campaigns, product launches, and digital channels. You'll partner closely with Art Directors, Creative Directors, and cross-functional marketing leads to translate briefs into high-quality AI-assisted output, while helping shape the workflows and standards that define how this team creates.

This is an IC role for someone who is already doing this work — not someone who wants to learn it on the job. You have a strong design foundation, you know how to prompt, and you know the difference between AI-generated content that's useful and content that's just fast.

What You'll Do

• Use generative AI tools to produce campaign imagery, product visuals, lifestyle content, and exploratory concepting at speed.
• Collaborate to execute against creative briefs — bringing strong design instincts, not just prompt execution, to every project.
• Build and maintain a library of approved prompts, workflows, and templates that raise the quality floor for AI output across the Creative team.
• Stay current on the AI tools landscape and bring forward-thinking recommendations on what the team should adopt, test, or retire.
• Work cross-functionally to fulfill content requests that require AI-assisted production.
• Maintain SharkNinja brand standards in all AI-generated output — color, typography, tone, and visual language remain consistent regardless of the tool.
• Support retouching, compositing, and image refinement workflows using AI-enhanced tools within the Adobe Creative Suite.
• Participate in regular creative reviews and iterate quickly based on feedback.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in graphic design, visual design, or a related creative discipline — with a demonstrable AI design practice layered on top.
• Fluency with at least two or more leading generative AI platforms; you can show a portfolio of work produced with these tools.
• Strong foundation in design principles — composition, color, typography, hierarchy — that shows up in your AI output, not just your traditional work.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) for finishing, retouching, and compositing AI-generated assets.
• Experience working within brand systems and the discipline to apply them consistently across a high volume of output.
• Strong project management instincts — you can manage multiple concurrent requests, communicate timelines, and flag blockers without being chased.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where the tools, the briefs, and the expectations are all evolving.
• A point of view on what good looks like — and the ability to articulate it.

Compensation & Location

This role is based in Needham, MA. Salary is commensurate with experience and aligned to SharkNinja's internal band for Individual Contributor design roles. Bonus eligible.
