Brand Manager - Powerball

At the heart of everything we do is our vision to change lives every day, and our mission to grow The National Lottery responsibly and champion its impact.  

We are Allwyn UK, part of the Allwyn Entertainment Group – a multi-national lottery operator with a market-leading presence across the USA (Michigan and Illinois) and Europe, including Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Cyprus and Italy. 

While the main contribution of The National Lottery to society is through the funds to good causes, at Allwyn we put our purpose and values at the heart of everything we do.  Join us as we embark on a once-in-a-lifetime, largescale transformation journey by creating a National Lottery that delivers more money to good causes.   

We’ll talk a bit more about us further down the page, but for now – let’s talk about the role and who we’re looking for… 

A bit about the role 

Powerball is the newest and most existing game from one of the UK’s most iconic and trusted brands — embedded in the cultural fabric of the nation and delivering life-changing wins every week. As Brand Manager for Powerball, you will play a central role in how the brand shows up, grows, and connects with players.  

You will work closely with the Senior Marketing Manager to deliver compelling campaigns, develop creative platforms, and shape the messaging that drives participation and player belief. You’ll bring structure, creativity, and strategic thinking to every brief — ensuring our communications are grounded in insight, designed to influence behaviour, and executed with consistency and craft.  

 You will also work closely with the Euromillions Brand Manager to ensure that the different Jackpots and messages show up at the right time for the right players.  

This is a delivery-focused role with creative ownership — you will lead campaign development from brief to execution, managing internal and external stakeholders, and ensuring Powerball’s brand shows up powerfully across all touchpoints, from ATL to CRM to customer service.  

Success in this role will come from combining campaign craft with curiosity — understanding what moves our players, how our brand is perceived, and how each piece of communication contributes to commercial outcomes and long-term brand strength.
