What’s the role?

As Creative Strategy Manager supporting Omni Creative, you'll sit at the intersection of data, strategy, and creative execution - providing guidance and recommendations on how the Hard Rock Bet brand comes to life across omni-channel marketing and ensuring creative placements drive results across Casino and Sports.

You'll be a senior individual contributor and the connective tissue between the creative team, agency partners, and Omni and Marketing stakeholders - providing clear strategic direction and brand guidance throughout the process from research and brief development through creative review, approval, and optimization. Your primary mission is to drive creative effectiveness across all omni-channel touchpoints by grounding every decision in insight and business goals, and building the systems that make great work possible at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Own how Hard Rock Bet's brand, promotional strategy, and creative campaigns are translated across omni-channel placements (digital, print, properties, and partners), ensuring every communication execution is intentional, cohesive, and tied to business goals across Casino and Sports.

• Leverage market research to identify audience insights, competitive trends, and category opportunities that inform omni creative strategy across Casino and Sports.

• Provide the creative team and agency partners with clear, insight-led direction by synthesizing data and research findings into actionable creative briefs, campaign strategies, and omni-channel marketing plans.

• Collaborate closely with Omni and Marketing stakeholders on the brief development process, ensuring briefs are insight-led, clearly scoped, and set the creative team and agency partners up for success.

• Establish and manage a testing and optimization framework for omni-channel creative, partnering with marketing and omni analytics to measure performance, identify learnings, and apply them to future work.

• Serve as a senior strategic voice and primary point of collaboration between the creative team, internal stakeholders, and agency partners - providing direction and creative guidance, aligning on goals, managing feedback loops, and ensuring projects are on brief.

• Own the review and approval process for all omni-channel creative work, ensuring every execution meets brand standards, strategic intent, and Omni team best practices before it goes live.

• Stay ahead of industry trends in digital marketing, iGaming, and sports betting to continuously evolve Hard Rock Bet's creative strategy and maintain a competitive edge.

Our Ideal Candidate

You are more than a strategist - you are a systems thinker who understands that great creative starts long before anyone opens a design file. You are data-fluent, detail-oriented, and energized by turning research into direction. You thrive in fast-paced environments, excel at cross-functional collaboration, and take pride in building the frameworks that make creative teams and agency partners do their best work.
