We’re looking for a sports-obsessed, internet-native Social & Community Specialist to help grow and deepen Fanatics Sports & Casino’s presence across the social community forums where sports fans spend their time.

, you’ll help develop a holistic community strategy that gives fans more reasons to engage with the brand beyond individual products or campaigns.
