Fanatics Betting & Gaming

New York, NY • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 8 hours ago


Job description

About the Team

Launched in 2021, Fanatics Betting and Gaming is the online and retail sports betting subsidiary of Fanatics, a global digital sports platform. The Fanatics Sportsbook is available to 95% of the addressable online sports bettor market in the U.S. Fanatics Casino is currently available online in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Fanatics Betting and Gaming operates twenty-two retail sports betting locations, including the only sportsbook inside an NFL stadium at Northwest Stadium. Fanatics Betting and Gaming is headquartered in New York with offices in Denver, Leeds and Dublin.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Creative Associate to own the look, feel, and creative quality of Fanatics Casino's organic social channels. This is a hands-on creative role - you'll be shooting, editing, designing, and creating content yourself, as well as overseeing what comes in from our agencies, UGC creators, and freelance partners. You'll work alongside the Social Media Manager and report to the Director of Social Media.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Creative execution

  • Shoot, edit, and produce short-form social video content (Reels / TikTok-style clips)
  • Design templated graphic assets for social media - maintaining visual consistency while allowing for pillar-specific personality
  • Art direct and shoot photography for feed content, ensuring every image meets our brand VI standards
  • Edit and finalize video content from external partners (UGC creators, content agency) to meet quality and brand standards

Creative leadership & collaboration

  • Translate creative briefs from the Social Media Manager into concepts, then into finished assets - on time and on brief
  • Creative-direct UGC creators, giving feedback that gets better output without killing the native feel
  • Partner with content agencies on higher-production assets, maintaining brand vision through external production
  • Bring proactive ideas to planning: new formats, series concepts, creative ways into cultural moments
  • Integrate AI tools into your creative templating and ideation process

Production oversight

  • Manage the creative output of freelance graphic designers and the content agency
  • Maintain an organized asset library - naming conventions, versioning, and archive
  • Balance an always-on production load with ad-hoc and campaign creative needs

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 3-5 years of creative experience, with meaningful time spent in social-first creative roles - brand-side or agency
  • Strong and demonstrable range across three disciplines: short-form video production and editing, graphic design and motion, and photography
  • Proficient in: Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects (or equivalent motion tools), Lightroom or Capture One
  • Deep fluency in what actually performs on social - you can spot a scroll-stopper and you know why it works
  • Experience building or contributing to a visual identity system - not just executing someone else's templates
  • Comfortable working scrappy and elevated in the same week: a lo-fi UGC-style video on Tuesday, a polished branded asset on Friday
  • Strong creative direction skills: you can give clear, specific feedback to external creators and get better work back
  • Experience in entertainment, lifestyle, gaming, or consumer brand creative is strongly preferred

CONTENT FORMATS YOU'LL OWN

  • Lo-fi UGC-style video
  • Educational short-form video 
  • Briefing agencies for higher-production branded video
  • Templated graphics 
  • Feed photography 

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.
