OverviewFanatics Betting & Gaming is seeking a Senior Associate, VIP Retention Strategy to support the strategy behind how our highest-value customers are hosted.

This role is the strategy and operations engine behind that work. You will help raise the standard of our hosting program, translate the commercial strategies set by the sportsbook and casino teams into what hosts actually do day to day, and build the measurement and process that tell us whether it is working. You will partner closely with host leadership, analytics, and product, and your work will be visible to senior leadership.

- Build the briefing and insight materials hosts use to prepare for customer contact.
- Support the operating cadence of the retention team: recurring reporting, performance reviews, and leadership updates.
- Ensure Responsible Gaming standards are built into hosting programs rather than applied after the fact.
- 2+ years in betting, gaming, hospitality, or a comparable consumer business, ideally in a strategy, operations, analytics, or VIP-facing role.
- Strong analytical foundation, comfortable working directly in data, building reporting, and defining metrics. Working fluency with Excel and exposure to SQL or a BI environment.
- Clear writer, able to turn a strategy into a playbook that a front-line team can actually follow.
- Highly organized, with the discipline to keep recurring reporting and process documentation current.
- Comfortable partnering with front-line teams and senior stakeholders outside your direct reporting line.
- Interest in how service and relationships drive customer loyalty, and in the tooling that makes service scalable.
- Commitment to Responsible Gaming and to keeping customer wellbeing ahead of commercial outcomes.
- Self-starter, detail-oriented, and comfortable with ambiguity in a function that is still being built.
