Our more than 22,000 employees are committed to relentlessly enhancing the fan experience and delighting sports fans globally.

The role

You'll design the paid acquisition and retention creative that does the heavy lifting for Fanatics Casino, and build out the visual system behind it so it's faster to produce, easier to test and better looking than anything else in the category. You'll bring hands-on design and innovation, playing into current trends and inventing new ones. Performance design at our scale means real volume, constant testing, many states and plenty of compliance requirements. We want you to make it a craft.

What you'll do

• Design across performance media: paid social, display, programmatic, app store, affiliate and CRM.
• Build and improve modular, test-ready templates and component libraries that allow rapid versioning while every asset still feels crafted.
• Design state-by-state and market-by-market compliance lockups (responsible gaming messaging, age requirements, terms) that are clear, legible and on-brand.
• Partner with Paid Media and Analytics on structured tests (layout, offer presentation, imagery, colour, CTA) and turn the results into better design decisions.
• Work alongside designers, motion designers and creative ops on shared projects.
• Keep static and animated assets forming a single system with Motion.
• Explore dynamic creative, automation and AI-assisted versioning workflows.
• Hand off clean files: correct naming, sensible versioning, layers someone else can open.

What you bring

• 5+ years in graphic or digital design, with significant performance or direct-response work.
• A portfolio showing high-volume performance creative and strong craft side by side.
• Deep experience with design systems and templates in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, and motion design programmes.

• Speed and accuracy together: you can move fast and get it right.
• The ability to take direction, sharpen the work and keep moving.

Bonus points

• iGaming, sportsbook, fintech or app-based subscription experience.
• Experience with DCO platforms or creative automation tools.
• Experience designing app store assets.
