Hard Rock Digital is a team focused on becoming the best online sportsbook, casino, and social gaming company in the world. We’re building a team that resonates passion for learning, operating and building new products and technologies for millions of consumers. We care about each customer's interaction, experience, behavior, and insight and strive to ensure we’re always acting authentically.

Rooted in the kindred spirits of Hard Rock and the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the new Hard Rock Digital taps a brand known the world over as the leader in gaming, entertainment, and hospitality. We’re taking that foundation of success and bringing it to the digital space — ready to join us?

What’s the position?

As the Director, Technology & Product Controls & Reporting, you will report to the VP – Finance and serve as a key leader at the intersection of Finance, Technology, Product, and Risk. Your mandate is to build, manage, and evolve the internal control environment across Hard Rock Digital’s tech and product operations—with a special focus on controls that support financial reporting integrity, compliance readiness, and operational scalability.  You’ll partner with Information Technology, Product, and Internal Audit teams to ensure that financial systems and product operations are well-controlled, audit-ready, and aligned with business growth.

Key responsibilities:

• Technology & Product Controls Governance: Design and maintain a robust internal control framework across our digital platforms, ensuring alignment with financial reporting requirements and enterprise risk standards.
• Reporting Risk Integration: Identify and assess risks related to data integrity, system changes, and access management that could impact financial reporting accuracy or SOX compliance.
• Cross-Functional Risk Collaboration: Partner with Finance, Product, Engineering, and Security teams to implement controls that reduce risk exposure related to tech-enabled financial processes (e.g., payments, revenue recognition, cost allocations).
• Change Management & SDLC Controls: Own and oversee the control environment for the software development lifecycle and system changes with potential downstream reporting impacts.
• Access & Segregation of Duties: Ensure access governance protocols and segregation of duties are appropriately managed across financial systems, product platforms, and core infrastructure.
• Control Monitoring & Reporting: Build control monitoring programs with KPIs/KRIs to track effectiveness and risk posture. Develop dashboards and reporting packages for Finance leadership and Audit Committee updates.
• SOX & Audit Preparedness: Support SOX scoping and readiness initiatives by mapping IT and product controls to financial reporting risks. Coordinate control walkthroughs and documentation for external audit teams.
• Control Automation: Work with data and engineering partners to implement automated controls and real-time monitoring across high-risk workflows.
• Incident Analysis & Remediation: Lead root cause analyses and remediation planning for control failures, financial system anomalies, or audit issues.
• Advisory for Financial Systems: Provide governance support and control guidance for financial system implementations, integrations, or platform migrations impacting reporting accuracy.

What are we looking for?

• Experience: 10+ years in IT audit, internal controls, SOX, or technology risk roles with exposure to financial systems and reporting implications. Experience in a high-growth, regulated tech or gaming environment is a plus.
• Financial Reporting & SOX Knowledge: Strong understanding of internal controls over financial reporting, IT general controls, and automated controls supporting SOX compliance.
• Cross-Functional Communication: Strong communicator with the ability to engage Finance, Engineering, Product, Security and Audit teams effectively and influence outcomes across departments.
• Analytical Mindset: Strong attention to detail and ability to synthesize complex data into clear risk narratives and control recommendations.
• Tools & Systems Proficiency: Knowledge of internal control systems, financial platforms, and reporting tools. Excel expertise required; familiarity with GRC tools and dashboarding platforms is a plus.
• Flexibility: Ability to manage across time zones and occasionally travel for strategic in-person working sessions.
