[Hiring] Senior Data Technical Product Manager @Hard Rock Digital

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Data Product Manager to join our Quantitative Sports (QS) team, reporting to the Director of Quantitative Sports. QS builds and owns the in-house pricing models that set the odds on sporting events across our sportsbook. You will own the delivery of the transition from a third-party provider into our own infrastructure, turning business and trading needs into clear, engineer-ready Jira tickets and keeping a cross-functional program on schedule.

Once the transition is complete, you'll run the day-to-day product operations of a fully functioning in-house pricing team and help drive the expansion of the sports and markets covered by QS. This is a fully remote, US-based role with significant autonomy.

If you're a self-starter who knows the sportsbook space and loves getting complex projects over the line, you'll feel at home here.

What You'll Do

• Own the onboarding and transfer of a third-party pricing provider into our infrastructure, from discovery and knowledge transfer through to production go-live.
• Translate business and trading needs into well-scoped technical Jira tickets, with clear acceptance criteria, enabling our engineers to work with autonomy.
• Build and maintain project plans, milestones, and dependencies, and deliver against agreed timelines.
• Act as the bridge between quantitative analysts, engineers, traders, and other technical and non-technical stakeholders across departments.
• Manage the QS backlog and workflows in Jira, prioritizing work in line with team and business goals.
• Run the day-to-day product operations of the in-house pricing team once the transition is complete.
• Scope and plan the expansion of the QS domain into new sports, competitions, and markets.
• Use data to track delivery, understand pricing outputs, and inform prioritization decisions.
• Communicate progress, risks, and blockers clearly to the Director of QS and wider leadership.

Qualifications

• 5-8 years of experience in product management, technical project management, or a similar delivery-focused role.
• Experience in the sports betting industry.
• In-depth understanding of sportsbook products and the pricing of sporting events, both at Hard Rock and across other operators in the US market, with hands-on experience working in those areas.
• Proven ability to write technical Jira tickets that translate a business need into work an engineer can pick up and deliver.
• Extensive experience working with Jira and other project management tools across different workflows.
• Proven track record of delivering projects on time.
• Strong data familiarity, with the confidence to work with data to validate requirements, review outputs, and measure outcomes.
• Ability to work across departments with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• College degree in any discipline.

Bonus Points

• Experience managing a migration project.
• Hands-on experience with SQL or Python.
• Experience using Grafana and other observability tooling.
• Familiarity with sports data feeds such as Radar & Genius.
• Experience working with pricing pipelines or odds generation systems.

Who you are

• A self-starter who thrives in a fully remote role and manages your own time and priorities.
• Organized and detail-oriented, with a structured approach to planning and tracking work.
• A clear communicator who can explain technical detail to non-technical audiences, and business needs to engineers.
• Able to prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.

Benefits

• Competitive pay and benefits.
• Flexible vacation allowance.
• A hybrid / remote working environment.
• Startup culture backed by a secure, global brand.
