Graduating MBAs have been joining Harrah’s prestigious President’s Associate Program for over 20 years.  This program was originally developed to support ongoing corporate expansion by introducing talented MBA graduates to general management within the gaming industry.  As Harrah’s has matured into a world-class entertainment company with increasingly sophisticated technologies, decision sciences and international needs, the President’s Associate program has grown to include functional tracks in Marketing (General, Analytic and Casino Marketing), Planning & Analysis, Slots and Operations.  All tracks of the President’s Associate program are rotational in nature – participants will complete specially designed assignments to gain a deep understanding of all aspects of their chosen field.  President’s Associates will report to senior-level property executives and receive on-going mentoring, coaching and feedback from both members of their functional teams and the corporate Talent Management department.  Once all rotations are completed, Associates will be placed in positions ranging from Manager to Director, depending on individual performance and availability. 

An ideal candidate will have management experience with groups of diverse people of varying skills, educational levels and experience.  Former experience in retail, financial services or hospitality/service companies is highly desirable.  A consummate team player, he or she will build and develop excellent relationships with peers, GM’s and corporate/division functional leaders.  He or she will also be comfortable with multi-tasking to achieve results on several large and complex programs at the same time.  The casino entertainment business is a 24 X 7 operation, so the candidate must be able to work long hours, weekends and holidays as needed to complete projects.  Given the broad distribution of Harrah’s properties, geographic flexibility is also highly desirable. 

Opportunities exist within the following functional areas:

• General Marketing
• Analytic Marketing
• Casino Marketing
