The Opportunity
This role will lead the planning, design, and execution of sportsbook promotional campaigns across the BetMGM platform.

- Partner with CRM and VIP teams to ensure promotional offers are appropriately targeted and personalized across customer segments and lifecycle stages.
- Champion the customer experience across all promotional touchpoints, ensuring offers are clear, compelling, and easy to redeem.
- Manage the operational promotional budget across Acquisition & Retention verticals, pacing spend across all US states and Canada in alignment with approved commercial investment plans.
- Monitor competitor promotional activity and market trends to inform future promotional planning and identify opportunities for differentiation.
- Liaise with MGM Resorts International and Entain Group on cross-company promotional initiatives, improvements, and campaigns.
- Ensure promotional campaigns are delivered on time, on budget, and to a high standard of quality while supporting broader business objectives.
- Execute A/B tests and promotional experiments as defined by the testing roadmap (owned by the Sr. Commercial Manager, Sportsbook), ensuring clean execution and accurate data capture.
- Lead, develop, and coach a team responsible for sportsbook campaign planning, promotional execution, and free-to-play strategy. Establish priorities, provide ongoing performance feedback, and ensure effective delivery of departmental objectives across all promotional and free-to-play initiatives.
