• Support broader go-to-market planning and campaign operations including asset reviews, stakeholder coordination, and launch readiness.
• Champion brand consistency across all activations, ensuring messaging, creative, visual identity, and execution align with established brand guidelines, systems, and tone of voice. 

What we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or related field preferred.
• 6–8 years experience across brand marketing, product marketing, campaign management, or consumer marketing.
• Strong understanding of brand marketing fundamentals including positioning, messaging, creative development, and customer communication.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with strong executional rigor and attention to detail.
• Strong creative instincts and an understanding of how messaging and creative work together across channels and customer touchpoints.
• Experience managing multiple stakeholders and navigating cross-functional organizations in fast-paced environments.
• Strong organizational, communication, and project management skills.
• Comfortable operating with evolving priorities and rapid turnaround timelines.
• Experience within sports, gaming, entertainment, consumer technology, or culturally-driven brands is a plus.

Ideal Profile 

A strong understanding of the sports landscape, fan behavior, and broader sports betting ecosystem is essential for this role. The ideal candidate should have a strong pulse on cultural moments, seasonal rhythms, media narratives, and the nuances that shape how sports fans engage with Sportsbook products and content.

They should also be confident making decisive marketing and communication decisions that enable execution at speed. This requires a deep understanding of the product experience, customer journey, and how features, promotions, and messaging translate effectively across customer touchpoints and marketing channels. 

Depending on the role, your interview and onboarding experience may include in-person components, such as onsite interviews or Launching into Better: LIVE—a multi-day cultural immersion in New York City for full-time, non-seasonal hires. These sessions are designed to build connection and bring our culture to life, though specific travel and participation requirements will be confirmed based on your role and location. Your recruiter will provide clear guidance at each stage of the process.
