Entain’s Strategy team for the Americas and Southern Europe is on the lookout for a dynamic Strategy Manager to bolster its operations in Canada. In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in shaping and executing strategies aimed at enhancing financial outcomes.
As a member of the team, you will report directly to the Associate Director of Strategy for the region. This role bridges the gap between strategic planning and operational execution, collaborating with both local and regional leadership to tackle significant strategic initiatives. You will also engage with local operational teams to drive measurable results.
Your collaboration will span various commercial functions across Canada and central Entain, including Digital, Product and Technology, Operations, Marketing, Sales, and regional corporate leadership.
We seek exceptionally talented Strategy professionals who uphold the highest ethical standards and have a background in Strategy Consulting. If you thrive in a fast-paced commercial environment, this opportunity is for you.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate experience in developing and executing commercial strategy frameworks, influencing Executive leaders on crucial strategic and investment matters, and conducting commercial due diligence and growth strategy initiatives. Experience with large-scale transformations and project management will be considered a strong asset.
While prior experience in the sports and gaming sector is preferred, it is not a strict requirement.
Key Responsibilities:
- Strategic Projects: Lead high-visibility growth strategy initiatives by conducting strategic analysis, financial modeling, and synthesizing findings for presentation to internal executive leaders and functional managers.
- Operational Execution: Assist in the development and implementation of plans to operationalize strategies aimed at revenue growth, market expansion, and competitive positioning in Canada.
- Partnership Management: Provide strategic direction and foster relationships with key external vendors (e.g., sports and media partners, suppliers, and agencies).
- Market & Competitive Analysis: Stay abreast of industry trends, competitor actions, and regulatory changes to identify opportunities and threats.
- Business Performance Monitoring & Optimization: Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, marketing, finance, etc.) to create frameworks for evaluating and enhancing performance.
- Data-Driven Insights: Utilize data analysis to derive business insights that inform strategic decision-making.
- Thought Leadership: Share industry knowledge and contribute to thought leadership initiatives.
