Job description
At PrizePicks, we are the fastest-growing sports company in North America, as recognized by Inc. 5000. As the leading platform for Daily Fantasy Sports, we cover a diverse range of sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and Esports titles like League of Legends and Counter-Strike. Our team of over 450 employees thrives in an inclusive culture that values individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their level of sports fandom. Ready to reimagine the DFS industry together?
What you’ll do:
- Own the Vision
- Develop and evangelize a compelling long-term vision and strategy for the PrizePicks Data Platform, aligning it with company objectives and the needs of our product, engineering, marketing, and analytics teams.
- Drive the Roadmap
- Translate the vision into a clear, prioritized roadmap. Meticulously manage the backlog, making calculated trade-offs between technical investment, new capabilities, and stakeholder needs.
- Execute with Precision
- Collaborate deeply with world-class engineering, data science, and analytics teams to turn ideas into reality. You will write clear, concise requirements and user stories for complex technical initiatives.
- Be the Expert
- Become the company’s foremost expert on our data ecosystem. Understand the nuances of our data sources (user behavior, market data) and the needs of our data consumers (ML models, frontend applications, analytics dashboards).
- Foster Collaboration, Not Chaos
- Act as the key liaison between technical teams and business stakeholders. You will navigate competing priorities and complex dependencies with a calm, steady hand, building consensus and fostering a culture of trust and shared success.
- Measure What Matters
- Define and analyze KPIs that measure the performance, reliability, and impact of the Data Platform. Use data to make informed decisions and communicate the value of your work to the entire company.
What you have:
- Proven Experience
- 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 2-3 years focused specifically on data platforms, data infrastructure, APIs, or machine learning products. You have a track record of shipping complex, technical products that deliver significant business impact.
- Technical Depth
- You don’t have to be an engineer, but you can hold your own in highly technical discussions. You have a strong understanding of data warehousing, ETL/ELT processes, API design, data modeling, and the machine learning lifecycle. Competency with SQL is a must.
- Autonomous Operator
- You are a self-starter who doesn’t need to be told what to do next. You excel at taking a high-level, ambiguous problem, structuring it, and driving it to completion with minimal oversight.
- Calm Under Pressure
- You have a level-headed and unflappable demeanor. In a high-growth environment, you are a source of stability and clarity, capable of making thoughtful decisions when faced with urgency or uncertainty.
- A Master of Influence
- You lead through influence, not authority. You are an exceptional communicator and an even better listener, capable of building strong relationships and aligning teams around a shared vision.
- Passionate & Purpose-Driven
- You are genuinely passionate about building foundational technology and understand the leverage it provides. A love for sports, gaming, or statistics is a significant plus and will help you connect deeply with our mission.
Where you’ll live:
- This is a hybrid position based at our PrizePicks headquarters in Atlanta, GA. Not Local? No problem! We offer a competitive relocation package to help get you here.
