What's the position?We are looking for a Senior Data Product Manager to join our Quantitative Sports (QS) team, reporting to the Director of Quantitative Sports. QS builds and owns the in-house pricing models that set the odds on sporting events across our sportsbook. We are bringing pricing that is currently supplied by a third-party provider into our own infrastructure, and you will own the delivery of that transition end to end - turning business and trading needs into clear, engineer-ready Jira tickets and keeping a cross-functional program on schedule.
Once the transition is complete, you'll run the day-to-day product operations of a fully functioning in-house pricing team and help drive the expansion of the sports and markets covered by QS. This is a fully remote, US-based role with significant autonomy. If you're a self-starter who knows the sportsbook space and loves getting complex projects over the line, you'll feel at home here.
What You'll Do
- Own the onboarding and transfer of a third-party pricing provider into our infrastructure, from discovery and knowledge transfer through to production go-live
- Translate business and trading needs into well-scoped technical Jira tickets, with clear acceptance criteria, enabling our engineers to work with autonomy
- Build and maintain project plans, milestones, and dependencies, and deliver against agreed timelines
- Act as the bridge between quantitative analysts, engineers, traders, and other technical and non-technical stakeholders across departments
- Manage the QS backlog and workflows in Jira, prioritizing work in line with team and business goals
- Run the day-to-day product operations of the in-house pricing team once the transition is complete
- Scope and plan the expansion of the QS domain into new sports, competitions, and markets
- Use data to track delivery, understand pricing outputs, and inform prioritization decisions
- Communicate progress, risks, and blockers clearly to the Director of QS and wider leadership
What are we looking for?- 5-8 years of experience in product management, technical project management, or a similar delivery-focused role
- Experience in the sports betting industry
- In-depth understanding of sportsbook products and the pricing of sporting events, both at Hard Rock and across other operators in the US market, with hands-on experience working in those areas
- Proven ability to write technical Jira tickets that translate a business need into work an engineer can pick up and deliver
- Extensive experience working with Jira and other project management tools across different workflows
- Proven track record of delivering projects on time
- Strong data familiarity, with the confidence to work with data to validate requirements, review outputs, and measure outcomes
- Ability to work across departments with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- College degree in any discipline
Bonus Points
- Experience managing a migration project
- Hands-on experience with SQL or Python
- Experience using Grafana and other observability tooling
- Familiarity with sports data feeds such as Radar & Genius
- Experience working with pricing pipelines or odds generation systems
Who you are
- A self-starter who thrives in a fully remote role and manages your own time and priorities
- Organized and detail-oriented, with a structured approach to planning and tracking work
- A clear communicator who can explain technical detail to non-technical audiences, and business needs to engineers
- Able to prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment
