NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE: SN), a global product design and technology company, today announced plans to open its first office and Creative Design Hub in New York City in 2025. The collaborative workspace, located in the vibrant Flatiron neighborhood of New York City, will serve as a dynamic environment to foster creativity, innovation, and collaboration across key functions. As part of this investment, SharkNinja plans to grow its team significantly, with more than 45 roles in its initial phase, and the potential for additional roles over time. SharkNinja’s investment in the Creative Design Hub will empower employees to continue to redefine innovation and storytelling, driving the development of groundbreaking products that solve real consumer problems in ways they never imagined.

SharkNinja has signed a multi-year lease for over 14,000 square feet at 41 Madison Avenue, a Rudin managed office tower, with views of both the East River and Hudson River. This strategic expansion into New York City capitalizes on the deep pool of creative and design-focused talent in the area. The Creative Design Hub will feature a dedicated studio for design prototyping, a beauty studio for product testing and consumer insight research, and dedicated spaces for content creation, by both in-house teams and influencer partners. SharkNinja's investment in New York City's creative economy is supported by up to $920,000 in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits from Empire State Development.
