Director - Casino PMO in London

Hard Rock Digital is a team focused on becoming the best online sportsbook, casino, and social casino company in the world. We are building a team that resonates passion for learning, operating, and building new products and technologies for millions of consumers. We care about each customer's interaction, experience, behaviour, 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, the new 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.

As Director - Casino PMO, you will sit alongside Business, Product, and Engineering leadership, shaping strategy and personally owning the execution of the most critical, complex initiatives. You will be the maestro of delivery in our Casino division orchestrating dependencies, clearing blockers, driving timelines, and delivering outcomes that hit the high notes.

• Personally drive the most complex and business-critical projects in the Casino roadmap.
• Get deep into the details: RAID management, iteration planning, stakeholder communications, risk mitigation.
• Unblock teams, keep the rhythm tight, and ensure every milestone lands perfectly.
• You are not managing from the sidelines - you are on the field, calling the plays.

• Partner with Business, Product, and Engineering leaders to translate strategy into an executable delivery plan for key, high visibility projects.
• Manage dependencies, risk, and alignment across cross-functional teams.
• Bring visibility to roadmap progress, capacity, and predictability - no surprises, no noise.
• Be fully accountable for delivering the roadmap on time and in tune.

• Define and embed best-in-class delivery frameworks and processes.
• Roll out and own delivery tooling (Jira, Confluence, dashboards, resource tracking).
• Make delivery data sing. KPIs, velocity, predictability, throughput, and performance metrics all at your fingertips.
• Bring consistency, clarity, and quality across every team.

• Build and mentor a small, expert team of Project and Programme Managers.
• Create a culture of ownership, collaboration, and accountability.
• Partner with the PMO to shape delivery standards across Hard Rock Digital.
• Drive results with third-party partners, integrations, and vendors — ensuring seamless delivery.

• Play a key role in M&A activity, new feature launches, and never-before-seen experiences in online casino gaming.
• Deliver projects that redefine what players expect — in speed, innovation, and experience.
• Be part of a leadership team that is building the next chapter of Hard Rock's legendary story.

• 10+ years of project or programme management experience in fast-paced digital or gaming environments, ideally with casino/online gaming exposure.
• Proven track record: you have led complex, multi-stream projects, taken ownership end-to-end, not just oversight.
• You combine strategic vision with execution mastery: comfortable at the portfolio level, but just as comfortable in the execution weeds.
• Deep technical fluency: you understand software delivery, agile/hybrid frameworks, resource planning, risk & dependency management.
• Exceptional communicator and influencer: you bring people together, drive alignment, command attention at the executive level and stay grounded in execution reality.
• Tools and metrics savvy: you have designed or run delivery reporting, dashboards, tooling for transparency, velocity, throughput.
• Leadership presence plus "get-in-and-get-it-done" mindset. You do not just plan, you deliver and hold your team to delivery excellence.
• Experience building or scaling a project management team is a major plus.

• The Casino/Gaming roadmap is crystal-clear, transparent, and delivered on time.
• Complex initiatives progress on schedule, with minimal surprises, critical risks proactively managed.
• Delivery metrics (predictability, throughput, resource utilisation) are visible, reliable and talked about with confidence.
• Stakeholders trust delivery, teams have clarity, blockers are rare, and the culture is one of execution excellence.
• You are not just leading - you are driving. You are the engine of delivery for our department.

• We offer our employees more than just competitive compensation. Our team benefits include:
• Competitive pay and benefits.
• Start-up culture backed by a secure, global brand.
• Flexible vacation allowance.
• Internal growth and development.

We care deeply about every interaction our customers have with us, and trust and empower our staff to own and drive their experience. Our vision for our business and customers is built on fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment where regardless of background or beliefs you feel able to be authentic and bring all your talent into play. We want to celebrate you being you (we are an equal opportunity employer).
