At Wizards of the Coast, we connect people around the world through play and imagination. From our genre-defining games like Magic: The Gathering® and Dungeons & Dragons® to our growing multiverse, we continue to innovate and build new ways to foster friendship and connection. That’s where you come in!

What does it take to grow a globally recognized tabletop brand in a shifting retail landscape? How do you stay aligned to a franchise with a 50-year legacy while still moving fast enough to matter?

 

We’re hiring a Senior Manager, Commercial Strategy to help answer those questions and shape the next phase of growth for Dungeons & Dragons in North America.

This role connects franchise priorities to how D&D shows up in market. You'll own channel and account strategy across mass, specialty hobby, and eCommerce accounts — and work closely with Franchise, Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Consumer Insights to turn plans into results.

 

What You’ll Do:

 

• Lead North America commercial strategy and annual planning for Dungeons & Dragons. Set annual revenue and margin targets in partnership with Sales and own the plan to hit them.
• Spot and size the next wave of growth opportunities — whether that's an underpenetrated channel, an emerging retailer, or a distribution model worth piloting.
• Work with Trade Marketing to define how D&D shows up at retail — from fixture strategy to product positioning — to win more space and make better use of it.
• Partner across teams to bring new products and initiatives to life in North American retail, and resolve blockers related to inventory, product transitions, and launch readiness.
• Keep a sharp eye on performance — using scorecards, seasonal reviews, and launch retrospectives to understand what's working and move quickly on what isn't.

What You’ll Bring:

 

• 6–10 years in commercial strategy, category management, or business planning, ideally within consumer products, retail, eCommerce, games, or entertainment. Hobby or specialty retail experience is highly preferred.
• Strong analytical and financial skills, with the ability to make clear recommendations despite competing priorities.
• Experience building channel strategies and account plans across assortment, pricing and promotion, merchandising, and retail calendar planning.
• A track record of leading cross-functional work and influencing Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Franchise stakeholders.
• Passion for games and Dungeons & Dragons is a plus!
