[Hiring] Data Analyst Manager @Fanatics Betting & Gaming

Role Description

You lead the team that owns the analytical backbone of how the Operations Department understands its own performance. Sitting within the Strategic Operations & Analytics team, you manage a small team of analysts whose work is used every day by leaders across CX, Fraud, Payments, WFM, and VIP. You also remain directly involved in the work.

This is a hands-on manager role, roughly an even split between leading the team and doing the work. You will:

• Write and optimize SQL.
• Review your team's models and analyses.
• Own complex cross-functional initiatives end-to-end.
• Set the bar for that work, develop the people doing it, and be accountable for what the team ships.

You’ll work closely with the Sr. Manager of Strategic Operations, who provides strategic direction, executive alignment, and support navigating priorities and cross-functional dependencies.

We are actively building toward an AI-first way of operating, and this team is central to it. The right person is technically sharp, relentlessly detail-oriented, and genuinely curious about both what the data is saying and how AI changes the way we find and act on answers. You move fast, own ambiguous problems, and hold yourself and your team to a high bar.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in analytics, business intelligence, data analytics, or strategic operations.
• 2+ years directly managing analysts as direct reports, including performance management, hiring, and career development. This is not a first-time manager role.
• Advanced, hands-on SQL.
• Working fluency in dbt.
• Demonstrated experience owning complex, cross-functional projects end-to-end.
• Experience building and maintaining dashboards in Sigma, Tableau, or a comparable tool.
• Strong stakeholder management.
• High attention to detail.

Requirements

• You write, QA, and optimize complex queries yourself today, and you review others' work at that level.
• You can build and review models, make sound design decisions, and identify issues in your team’s work.
• Experience in gaming, fintech, or sports.
• Bachelor's degree in Analytics, Computer Science, Statistics, Economics, or a related field.
