About the Role

This is a high-visibility leadership role shaping FanDuel’s trading product platforms, influencing sports book operations.

  • Collaborate across heads of product/tech/commercial, influencing decisions regularly.
  • Develop strategies based on KPIs such as margin growth, pricing accuracy, latency reduction, error rate reduction, and handle growth.

You’ll collaborate regularly with US stakeholders, which occasionally require early morning calls.
