Product Manager, Sportsbook Social

The Position:

FanDuel is looking for a Product Manager to help build the social layer of its sportsbook experience. This role sits within the Emerging Experiences pillar and focuses on creating connections, communities, and shared moments that make sports betting more engaging, including social profiles, activity feeds, group experiences, and social betting features.

The role works across multiple small, autonomous pods of engineers and AI agents, driving initiative-level execution and keeping delivery on track across priority streams. The Product Manager translates broader vision and strategy into well-scoped, well-executed quarterly outcomes, operates independently, makes decisions with imperfect information, and contributes to broader strategic ownership.

Employees may be required to perform other duties as assigned by the Company.

The Game Plan:

• Lead multiple pods—small, focused teams of engineers and AI agents—each oriented around a specific social customer problem.
• Set clear direction for each pod: define the problem, own prioritization, and make the calls needed to keep teams moving.
• Work hands-on with engineers and designers daily—writing clear specs, removing blockers, and driving decisions without escalating unnecessarily.
• Identify user problems and opportunities through research, data analysis, and competitive review.
• Define success criteria for each pod's work; track and report objectively on outcomes post-launch.
• Use A/B experimentation to validate hypotheses and drive continuous improvement across pods.
• Leverage AI tooling and agents effectively as part of how the pods operate.
• Contribute to broader social area roadmap discussions with proposals grounded in user insight and commercial impact.
• Maintain deep knowledge of social experiences across consumer apps and bring that context into pod decisions.
• Collaborate across engineering, design, analytics, GTM, and operational functions to ensure smooth releases and post-launch optimizations.
• Communicate clearly and proactively with stakeholders on pod progress, blockers, and learnings.

The Stats:

• Bachelor's degree preferred.
• Minimum 3+ years' experience as a product manager or similar role required; 4-5 years typical for strong candidates.
• Demonstrated experience building social features in consumer-facing apps—social graphs, feeds, profiles, community interactions, or similar.
• Proven ability to operate independently on initiative execution: scoping, planning, and delivering across multiple priority streams within a quarter.
• Solid experimentation fundamentals, including designing tests, reasoning about metrics, and connecting product decisions to commercial outcomes.
• Comfortable in a fast-moving, AI-native environment and familiar with AI tooling and AI-assisted workflows.
• Strong operator mentality: decisive, unblocking, and effective at keeping multiple pods moving in parallel.
• Proven track record of shipping products that users love, with measurable outcomes.
• Knowledge and implementation experience of modern product practices and experimentation strategies.
• Strong quantitative skills and comfort with data.
• Excellent critical thinking and collaboration skills.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

Player Benefits:

FanDuel offers health plans, fertility and family planning programs, mental health support, fitness benefits, paid time off, sick leave, annual bonus and long-term incentive opportunities, a 401(k) with up to a 5% match, commuter benefits, pet insurance, and other benefits.
