Senior Manager, Shopper & Occasion Marketing

About the role

We take play seriously. We're looking for curious adventurers ready to find their party, fueled by imagination and drive to build what's never been built before. At Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, you'll collaborate with passionate teams to reimagine our iconic brands and create experiences that spark joy, connection, and community through the magic of play. This is your chance to shape legendary play that lasts a lifetime. The Senior Manager of Shopper & Occasion Marketing is a dual-focus role that sits at a critical strategic intersection: you will lead occasion-based marketing across our brand portfolio, and you will ensure that everything we produce for retail is built with sharp shopper strategy from the start. You operate upstream, informing campaign strategy and ensuring that what we hand off to regional merchandising, commercial, and account teams around the world is shopper-ready and built to activate with excellence across North America, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC. There is no typical day in this role, and that is exactly what makes it exciting. You might spend the morning developing the campaign messaging strategy for our Spring seasonal program across multiple brands, the afternoon in a briefing session with our Brand Design team ensuring occasion assets are built with the right CTAs and shopper logic, and the end of the day connecting with CSM partners to understand what the toolkit needs to do for a key account. You are a strategist, a creative thinker, and a cross-functional integrator, and your work shows up directly in how consumers experience our brands in the moments they are most likely to buy. Effective from the date that Hasbro opens its new Boston location, this position will be onsite Tuesday - Thursday at Hasbro's new HQ location in Boston, MA. In the interim, this position will be onsite Tuesday - Thursday at Hasbro's HQ in Pawtucket, RI or at Hasbro's temporary location in Boston, MA.

Shopper Strategy & Upstream Planning - Serve as the shopper marketing expert for the Toys and Games Global Consumer Marketing team, partnering with brand leads to ensure campaign platforms are built with clear shopper strategy, messaging, and retail activation potential from the outset. - Develop shopper marketing frameworks, messaging hierarchies, and call-to-action guidance that translate brand and campaign strategy into materials regional teams can activate effectively across diverse markets and retail environments. - Partner closely with global and regional merchandising and CSM teams to understand key account milestones, retail calendars, and market-level priorities, so that global asset development reflects what regional teams actually need to execute. - Bring a strong point of view on channel strategy, including how to reach adult consumers, collectors, and gift purchasers, ensuring toolkits are built for diverse audiences and can be adapted by region rather than rebuilt from scratch. Briefing & Creative Partnership - Write clear, strategically grounded briefs to develop occasion campaigns and shopper-focused assets, ensuring every brief includes the occasion insight, consumer target, key message, CTA, channel requirements, and regional adaptability needs. - Serve as the strategic lead through the creative development process for occasion campaigns, ensuring outputs stay true to the brief, land the shopper intent, and are delivered at the quality and flexibility needed for regional execution.
