THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it

FanDuel is seeking a Senior Director of Product, Discovery & Engagement to provide vision, direction, and strategic leadership to our Discovery and Engagement efforts within the Sportsbook. This role is accountable for defining and executing product strategy across multiple domains, ensuring tight alignment to broader Business Unit and FanDuel-level objectives while balancing near-term delivery with long-term innovation.

As a Senior Director, you will operate as a portfolio owner and strategic leader, not just a people manager. You will oversee multiple product teams and leaders, guide investment and prioritization decisions across initiatives of varying risk and horizon, and ensure that customer insight, market dynamics, and technology considerations are deeply embedded in roadmap and execution decisions.

You will be a visible and trusted leader across Product, Technology, Commercial, and Executive teams—clearly communicating product strategy, risk posture, and innovation plans, and influencing decisions to drive the right outcomes for the business and our customers. This role requires strong judgment, systems thinking, and the ability to scale product excellence through others.

Success in this role means creating clarity where there is ambiguity, aligning teams around a shared vision, and ensuring FanDuel delivers differentiated, customer-centric experiences at scale—today and over the long term.

In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.

THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

Strategic Leadership & Vision

• Own and evolve the product vision and strategy across multiple domains, ensuring alignment to Business Unit objectives and FanDuel’s broader enterprise strategy.
• Provide strategic oversight of the product portfolio, balancing short-term vs long-term investments, high- vs low-risk initiatives, and innovation vs operational excellence.
• Ensure product strategy, roadmaps, and investment decisions are consistently grounded in customer insight, market dynamics, industry trends, and available technologies, including informed build-vs-buy decisions.
• Clearly articulate product strategy, priorities, and tradeoffs to senior executives and cross-functional leaders, influencing decisions and driving alignment across the organization.

• Hold teams accountable for high-quality research practices, providing constructive feedback on research plans, synthesis, and how insights are translated into product decisions.
• Leverage insights from adjacent industries and external markets, translating learnings into differentiated product opportunities for FanDuel.
• Ensure analytics, experimentation, and customer research are consistently embedded across teams as core decision-making inputs.

Product Delivery & Portfolio Management

• Ensure execution and investment across the product portfolio align to strategic priorities, expected outcomes, and agreed funding models.
• Oversee execution across multiple teams and workstreams, ensuring clarity of ownership, disciplined prioritization, and effective dependency management.
• Set clear expectations for outcome-driven delivery, holding teams accountable for measurable impact rather than output.
• Partner with Product, Technology, and Commercial leadership to proactively manage risk, sequencing, and tradeoffs across the portfolio.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Executive Communication

• Build and maintain strong partnerships with senior leaders across Product, Technology, Commercial, and other key functions to deliver shared outcomes.
• Clearly communicate product portfolio strategy, risk profile, and innovation plans to product peers and senior executive stakeholders.
• Act as a trusted thought partner to executives, shaping decisions through data-informed perspectives, sound judgment, and strategic recommendations.
• Influence across the organization without relying on formal authority, aligning diverse stakeholders around shared goals and priorities.

Team Leadership & Organizational Impact

• Provide oversight across multiple product teams and leaders, ensuring alignment between individual team goals, domain strategy, and broader company roadmaps.
• Lead and develop senior product leaders who themselves manage multiple teams, scaling impact through strong delegation, coaching, and accountability.
• Establish and evangelize a clear product vision and operating model across vertical or horizontal areas, driving consistency while enabling autonomy.
• Act as a go-to leader and subject matter expert for the domain, providing strategic insight, direction, and perspective across the company.
• Foster a culture of high ownership, strong judgment, customer empathy, and continuous learning across the product organization.

• Strong track record of leading leaders—including hiring, coaching, and developing senior product managers and product leaders who themselves manage teams.
