We operate with speed, obsess over consumer insight, and hold ourselves to relentlessly high standards. THE OPPORTUNITY The Vice President, Sales – Walmart (Ninja) will own and lead the expansive growth of one of our most strategic retailers from an omni-lens.  Based in Bentonville, this executive is the single point of accountability for the Ninja Walmart U.S. business — revenue, profitability, share, and joint business planning — across every SharkNinja category sold in stores and on Walmart.com. This is a builder's role as much as a manager's role. The successful candidate will deepen relationships at the most senior levels of Walmart merchandising, translate SharkNinja's innovation pipeline into category wins, and lead a high-performing team that operates with the pace and rigor our business demands. WHAT YOU'LL DO <ul><li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Own the Walmart P&L.
