Job description
About the Role
FanDuel is seeking a Product Manager to lead the search and AI-assisted bet-building experience within its sportsbook. The role sits within the Emerging Experiences pillar and spans core search and AceAI, an AI-powered product that helps customers navigate betting decisions. The successful candidate will work across multiple autonomous pods, driving initiative-level execution and translating the Lead PM's vision into well-scoped quarterly outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead multiple pods—small, focused teams of engineers and AI agents—each oriented around a specific search or AI discovery 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
- Advance the core search experience—query understanding, relevance, ranking, results presentation, and filtering—continuously improving how customers find what they're looking for
- Drive the AceAI product forward, identifying where AI-assisted guidance creates the most value for customers and translating that into well-defined, shippable features
- Identify user problems and opportunities within your area 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 your pods operate—comfortable directing AI-assisted workflows alongside human engineers
- Contribute to the broader Advanced Search area roadmap discussions with well-reasoned proposals grounded in user insight and commercial impact
- Maintain deep knowledge of how search and AI discovery experiences work across consumer apps and bring that context into your pods' decisions
- Collaborate across engineering, design, analytics, data, and operational functions to ensure smooth releases and post-launch optimizations
- Communicate clearly and proactively with stakeholders on pod progress, blockers, and learnings
Required Experience & Qualifications
- Minimum 3+ years' experience as a product manager or similar role
- Demonstrated experience building search, discovery, or AI-powered features in consumer-facing apps—relevance tuning, query understanding, NLP integrations, recommendation systems, or similar
- Proven ability to operate independently on initiative execution: scoping, planning, and delivering across multiple priority streams within a quarter
- Solid experimentation fundamentals—able to design tests, reason about metrics, and connect product decisions to commercial outcomes (conversion, engagement, retention)
- Comfortable in a fast-moving, AI-native environment—familiar with AI tooling and able to direct AI-assisted workflows as part of normal delivery
- 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 thinker and collaborator
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
Preferred Skills
- Bachelor's degree
- 4-5 years of experience typical for strong candidates
Benefits & Perks
- Array of health plans to choose from (some as low as $0 per paycheck) including programs for fertility and family planning, mental health support, and fitness benefits
- Generous paid time off (PTO & sick leave)
- Annual bonus and long-term incentive opportunities (based on performance)
- 401k with up to a 5% match
- Commuter benefits
- Pet insurance
- Medical, vision, and dental insurance
- Life insurance
- Disability insurance
- 401(k) matching program
- Short-term or long-term incentive compensation, including cash bonuses and stock program participation
- Paid personal time off and 14 paid company holidays
