ROLE OVERVIEW 

We are seeking a Sales Director to lead SharkNinja's PriceSmart commercial relationship at the strategic and senior account level. PriceSmart is a multi-market warehouse club retailer operating across more than a dozen countries in the LATAM region with a membership model and club economics that demand a fundamentally different commercial approach than conventional retail. 

This role sits above the day-to-day account management layer and is accountable for the strategic architecture of the partnership: senior account leadership, executive relationship management with PSMT's senior stakeholders, P&L ownership at scale, and commercial framework development.  

This role reports to the VP, LATAM-Direct Sales and operates as a peer to other LATAM channel leads, with regular visibility to senior Americas commercial leadership. 

WHAT YOU'LL OWN 

• Strategic ownership of the PriceSmart global partnership — P&L accountability across all active markets and future market expansions 
• Executive relationship management at PSMT senior leadership levels — you are the face of SharkNinja at the strategic account level 
• Strategic account planning and governance: design, negotiate, and own the annual commercial plan including revenue targets, margin commitments, investment tiers, and milestone accountability 
• Performance-linked trade investment framework: own the design, deployment, and outcome measurement of commercial investment across all PSMT markets 
• Manage, develop, and coach the National Account Manager, PriceSmart — set clear KPIs, run weekly performance cadence, and build capability on data-driven account management 
• Member and consumer data strategy: ensure SharkNinja converts account-level data into assortment and promotional decisions 
• Commercial governance: pricing, compliance, invoice terms — you set the guardrails and enforce them consistently across all markets 
• Internal commercial leadership: bring the PriceSmart P&L, risks, and opportunities to senior leadership in a structured cadence with actionable recommendations 

WHAT WE NEED 

Hard requirements: 

• 10+ years of progressive commercial sales leadership in consumer goods, with at least 3 years managing a major national or international account at director level or above 
• Direct experience with club/warehouse retail — PriceSmart, Costco, Sam's, BJ's, or equivalent format; understanding of membership-model economics, club pack architecture, and pallet-level margin math 
• P&L ownership at scale: you've owned a significant revenue relationship, managed trade investment to margin targets, and held yourself accountable to gross profit outcomes — not just topline 
• Strategic account planning at scale: you've designed, negotiated, and delivered against multi-year commercial plans with major retail partners 
• Commercial transformation experience: you've changed the pricing or margin structure of a major account relationship — and closed the deal without losing the partner 
• LATAM commercial fluency: multi-market experience in Latin America; understanding of currency, regulatory, logistics, and channel complexity 
• Bilingual: English and Spanish preferred 
• Strong cross-functional leadership: you've driven commercial outcomes through supply chain, finance, marketing, and analytics teams without direct line authority 
• Data-fluent: you work from numbers, not instinct alone — POS analysis, margin bridges, forecast variance, ROI on trade investment 

Strong differentiators: 

• Background in high-growth CPG environments 
• Experience with invoice-level commercial restructuring with a large-format retailer 
• Demonstrated AI tool integration in commercial strategy — data synthesis, scenario modeling, leadership reporting 
• Track record of building and leading high-accountability sales teams in lean structures 
• Familiarity with PSMT's vendor infrastructure and club-specific sell-in / sell-through dynamics 

HOW WE OPERATE 

This role demands a general manager mindset. You'll be accountable for a P&L, a team, a transformation agenda, and a senior external relationship — simultaneously. We move at speed. We run on data. We expect leadership to show up with the analysis done, the recommendation sharp, and the ask clear. If you're a relationship manager who waits to be told what the numbers mean, this isn't the right seat. If you're a commercially sharp operator who can build the strategy, own the outcomes, and develop the people around you — we need to talk.
