Job description

Hard Rock Digital is a team focused on becoming the best online sportsbook, casino, and social gaming company in the world. We're building a team that resonates passion for learning, operating, and developing new products and technologies for millions of consumers. We care about each customer interaction, experience, behavior, and insight and strive to ensure we're always acting authentically.

Rooted in the kindred spirits of Hard Rock and the Seminole Tribe of Florida, Hard Rock Digital taps a brand known the world over as the leader in gaming, entertainment, and hospitality. We're taking that foundation of success and bringing it to the digital space — ready to join us?

What's the position?

Hard Rock Digital's reporting lives across a range of tools and platforms, and this role owns the standard for what makes that reporting trustworthy: the definitions, certification process, and governance framework that ensure the data behind every report means what it's supposed to mean.

In the first 12 to 18 months, you'll lead the migration of our reporting estate as the onramp to the role: assessing existing dashboards across Salesforce, Tableau, and ADAM, our Snowflake-native analytics platform, migrating what's eligible, and rebuilding it to a higher visualization standard. This work is how you build the institutional knowledge to govern the data well, not the whole of the job.

From there, data governance becomes your core, ongoing function. The framework you build becomes the standard the wider BI Operations team builds against going forward, and as it matures, dashboard builds and rebuilds become shared across the team rather than sitting solely with this role.

This role reports directly to the Senior Manager, Operations Strategy & Insights, and sits within BI Operations.

Data governance (ongoing, core function)

• Own the data governance framework for ADAM: standards, naming conventions, definitions, documentation, and the certification process that ensures new data added to the platform is accurate and trustworthy before anyone relies on it
• Act as the certification gate for new data while the framework is being established: when a business team or analyst wants to add new metrics, dimensions, or tables to the reporting environment, you partner with the BI Ops team to review, validate, and certify them, or flag what needs to be fixed before they can be trusted
• Maintain data lineage documentation so anyone can trace where a number comes from, how it's calculated, and whether it's been certified
• Monitor the health of the data environment over time: catch when certified data drifts from its defined behavior, flag upstream changes that affect downstream reporting, and maintain trust in the platform as it grows
• Partner with the data engineering team on schema changes, new source integrations, and pipeline updates that affect the reporting layer
• Partner with BI Operations leadership to define how governance responsibility transitions to the broader team once the framework is established and proven

Migrating and building reporting (first 12–18 months)

• Evaluate reporting across all platforms in use — Salesforce, Tableau, and others — and determine the right destination and format for each based on underlying data structure and business need
• Migrate eligible reporting into ADAM, landing each report or dataset where it actually fits best rather than defaulting to a like-for-like rebuild
• Improve and consolidate as you go: spot overlap and redundancy across the reporting landscape before diving into individual migrations, so consolidation happens by design rather than dashboard by dashboard
• Build every migrated report to a best-in-class visualization standard, with clear documentation of what it shows, how each figure is calculated, and where the underlying data comes from
• Identify data gaps or modeling issues that stand in the way of a clean migration, and translate them into specific asks the data engineering team can act on
• Run stakeholder review and sign-off on each migrated report before the legacy version is retired
• Recognize when a tool is being used for something it's not actually built for, and propose a better-fit alternative

What are we looking for?

• Best-in-class visualization skill: has an eye for what makes a report actually clear and usable, not just accurate, and the range to bring that to more than one platform
• A strong sense of how underlying data is structured and modeled, so you can reason about which platform or format actually fits a given dataset
• The ability to look at what a report in one system is built to show and reconstruct that logic cleanly in another. This matters more than deep experience with any one specific tool
• 3-6 years in BI or analytics, with hands-on dashboard-building experience across more than one platform
• Solid SQL, enough to trace and validate data lineage across systems
• Comfortable owning a large, ambiguous modernization effort and making informed calls along the way
• Strong written communication: the documentation and certification work requires you to explain complex data logic clearly to people who aren't analysts
• Bachelor's degree in Analytics, Business, Statistics, or a related field, or equivalent work experience

Preferred Skills

• Direct experience building or reading Salesforce-native reporting
• Familiarity with Snowflake or a similar cloud data warehouse
• Experience with data governance frameworks, data dictionaries, or certification processes in a BI context
• Exposure to lightweight or self-serve reporting tools (for example, Streamlit) as an alternative to traditional dashboards
• Experience in iGaming, online sportsbook, casino, or another regulated digital industry

What’s in it for you?

We offer our employees more than just competitive compensation. Our team benefits include:

• Competitive pay and benefits
• A hybrid / remote working environment
• Startup culture backed by a secure, global brand
