  • Co-own the platform roadmap with senior Product Management leadership, prioritizing engineering investments that deliver the greatest customer and business impact.

  • Build and expand platform capabilities that power content experiences across Sportsbook, Casino, Predictions, and other customer experiences, including personalization and jurisdiction-specific content delivery.
  • Drive automation and platform enablement by delivering tools and capabilities that reduce manual effort, empower operators, and enable other teams to build more efficiently on the platform.
  • Translate business goals and customer needs into well-defined requirements, success metrics, and delivery plans while partnering closely with Engineering, Analytics, User Experience, and business stakeholders.

  • At least 5 years of experience in Product Management with a strong track record of launching and scaling technical platforms or customer-facing experiences.
  • Experience defining platform architecture, content management systems, API strategies, or other highly technical platform capabilities in close partnership with Engineering teams.
  • Strong understanding of content management platforms, content modeling, API design, and scalable platform development principles.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of the sports betting industry, including odds, markets, parlays, and how editorial and promotional content enhances the customer experience before and during live events.
  • Proven ability to make data-driven decisions, prioritize competing initiatives, and balance short-term execution with long-term platform strategy.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to influence technical and business leaders across cross-functional teams.
  • A collaborative, customer-focused mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver high-impact solutions in a fast-paced environment.

DraftKings Sportsbook mobile and retail sports betting products allow bettors in each state engage in betting for most major U.S. and international sports. As of April 2016, the majority of U.S. states consider fantasy sports a game of skill and not gambling. In November 2016, FanDuel and DraftKings, the two largest companies in the daily fantasy sports industry, reached an agreement to merge. However the merger was terminated in July 2017 due to it being blocked by the Federal Trade Commission as the combined company would have controlled a 90 percent of the market for daily fantasy sports. As of July 2017, DraftKings had eight million users.
