This is an opportunity to help set the UX standard for a growing global ecommerce business while remaining close to the craft and measurable customer experience.  

RESPONSIBILITIES  

UX Design & Delivery  

• Lead the end-to-end UX design process, from discovery and research through user flows, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity UI and final engineering handoff.

• Synthesise research into clear insights and actionable recommendations that influence product and experience direction.  

• Champion the voice of the customer across cross-functional teams and ensure customer needs remain central to decision-making.

CRO, Analytics & Experimentation  

• Partner closely with CRO and Analytics teams to identify customer friction, commercial opportunities and areas for experience improvement.  

• Develop UX solutions designed to improve conversion, engagement and customer satisfaction.  

• Support and contribute to A/B testing and experimentation programmes, using findings to validate hypotheses and continuously improve experiences.  

• Use quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate design performance and inform iteration.

Global UX Standards & Design Systems

• Establish and maintain UX best practices and processes that improve consistency, quality and efficiency.  

• Contribute to maintaining and evolving shared design systems, patterns, style guides and Figma libraries to support global scalability and adoption.  

• Act as a Figma expert, championing scalable component design and efficient collaborative workflows.  

• Run design reviews and critique sessions to continually raise the quality bar across digital experiences.  

Accessibility & Inclusive Design  

• Champion accessibility and inclusive design throughout the end-to-end design process.  

• Ensure experiences and design-system components meet appropriate WCAG accessibility standards.  

• Consider accessibility across interaction design, visual design, content hierarchy, responsive behavior and component development.  

• Partner with Engineering to ensure accessibility requirements are maintained from design through implementation.  

Cross-Functional Collaboration  

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Creative, Marketing, Trading, CRO and Analytics teams to transform business objectives into seamless digital experiences.  

• Partner with Engineering throughout the design process to understand technical opportunities and constraints and ensure high-quality implementation.  

• Collaborate with regional DTC teams to understand local customer and commercial needs while maintaining global experience consistency.  

• Communicate design rationale clearly and confidently to stakeholders, including senior leadership.  

• Build strong partnerships across disciplines and champion a collaborative, customer-centred design culture.  

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE  

• Intuitive, engaging and accessible customer experiences delivered consistently across SharkNinja’s global DTC ecosystem.  

• Measurable improvements in conversion, engagement and customer satisfaction driven by UX design.  

• Design decisions grounded in customer research, experimentation, analytics and data, not assumption.  

• A mature experimentation culture where UX hypotheses are tested, measured and continuously refined.  

• Strong collaboration between UX, Product and Engineering from discovery through implementation.  

• Consistent, scalable and accessible global design patterns and systems.  

• A demonstrable improvement in overall digital experience quality across markets.
