About the Role & Team

The Director of Product Design & Strategy at PENN Entertainment is a critical leadership role positioned to significantly influence the user experience across our diverse and expanding digital platforms, including theScore, ESPN Bet, iCasino, and Penn Play. Reporting directly to the Head of Design & User Experience, this leader is not only tasked with elevating design and strategy but also plays a pivotal role in aligning these elements with our overarching omni-channel strategy.

In this capacity, the Director will work closely with the Head of Design & User Experience to craft a seamless user experience that bridges the gap between our digital offerings and the vast physical footprint of PENN Entertainment, which includes numerous entertainment venues, gaming facilities, and interactive experiences across the United States. This role requires a visionary approach to integrate digital and physical realms, enhancing the cohesion and synergy between all points of customer interaction.

As part of a forward-thinking leadership team, the Director will interface directly with product managers, engineering leads, and marketing teams to ensure that design strategies not only resonate with our users but also support the business objectives at both digital and physical levels. The role is designed for a leader who is adept at navigating complex ecosystems and is passionate about creating holistic, innovative user experiences that drive engagement and loyalty.
