About the role and why it’s unique:

We’re looking for a Director of Analytics to lead our Strategy & Operations Analytics team. In this role, you will directly manage a team of analysts, collaborating with stakeholders to design data-driven solutions for operational challenges such as optimizing workflows, improving trading performance, and identifying actionable insights. This role is ideal for a hands-on leader who thrives on solving business problems and driving measurable outcomes through data.

  • Lead and Develop the Team:
    • Manage, mentor, and grow a team of analysts, fostering a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and impact.
    • Provide coaching and professional development opportunities, enabling your team to excel individually and collectively.
  • Deliver Strategic Insights:
    • Partner with leaders across Strategy, Operations, and other teams to define key business questions and deliver actionable insights that inform decision-making.
    • Drive analysis to uncover trends, identify opportunities, and solve complex business challenges.
  • Operationalize Analytics:
    • Collaborate with teams to define and track KPIs, ensuring alignment with company goals.
    • Build scalable reporting frameworks to empower stakeholders with real-time access to data.
    • Establish processes for ad-hoc analysis requests, balancing flexibility with long-term scalability.
  • Drive Data-Driven Decision Making:
    • Act as a thought partner to leadership, contributing to the development of strategies that are grounded in data.
    • Translate complex analyses into clear, concise, and impactful recommendations.

Who you are:

  • Experienced Leader: You have 10+ years of experience in analytics, with at least 4 years managing a team. You’ve successfully led analysts or data scientists who deliver high-quality insights.
  • Strong Communicator: You excel at communicating complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences. You’re skilled at tailoring your messaging to influence and inspire stakeholders at all levels.
  • Technically Proficient: You have advanced SQL skills and familiarity with modern analytics tools such as dbt, Looker, or Tableau. Experience with scripting languages like Python or R is a plus.
  • Strategic Thinker: You’re not just about the numbers—you’re focused on the “why” and “how.” You’re adept at using data to connect the dots and see the bigger picture.
  • Collaborative and Curious: You thrive in a team-oriented environment and enjoy diving deep into problems. You’re not afraid to challenge assumptions or ask tough questions.
  • Impact-Oriented: You’re motivated by driving meaningful outcomes for the business, not just completing tasks.

Even better if you have:

  • Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment in a consumer tech industry - ideally in fantasy sports or online gaming.
  • Familiarity with operational domains such as prod ops, customer support, trading, or risk management.
  • Strong project management skills, with a track record of successfully balancing multiple priorities.


Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $208,000 and $235,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:

  • Unlimited PTO (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • A $500 home office allowance
  • A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce
  • 5% 401k match, FSA, company paid health, dental, vision plan options for employees and dependents
