Job Description

We’re defining what it means to build and deliver the most extraordinary sports and entertainment experiences. Our global team is trailblazing new markets, developing cutting-edge products, and shaping the future of responsible gaming.

Here, “impossible” isn’t part of our vocabulary. You’ll face some of the toughest but most rewarding challenges of your career. They’re worth it. Channeling your inner grit will accelerate your growth, help us win as a team, and create unforgettable moments for our customers.

The Crown Is Yours

We’re growing fast and looking for a Technical Program Manager II (TPM) to join the Data TPM team within Global Data. This role will focus on supporting the Sportsbook vertical, specifically around Trading-related initiatives. Sportsbook is at the heart of our product ecosystem, and the TPM team plays a key role in helping Analytics, Engineering, and Product teams deliver high-impact features and platform capabilities that support everything from real-time odds to user-facing experiences.

As a TPM II, you’ll work alongside other TPMs focused on different areas of Sportsbook, collaborating with Analytics, Product Managers, Engineers, and cross-functional partners across Risk, Trading, Compliance, and Data. You’ll use your technical background and program management skills to align teams, manage timelines, and keep initiatives on track.

What you'll do as a Technical Program Manager II

  • Partner closely with Analytics, Engineering, Product, Trading, and Ops to understand roadmap priorities, unblock dependencies, and keep teams aligned around shared goals.

  • Drive Trading-related initiatives by defining scope, translating high-level ideas into actionable, well-scoped technical work, and coordinating delivery across teams.

  • Connect the dots between stakeholder requests and technical execution, proactively identifying gaps, ambiguities, or scaling opportunities within the data and platform ecosystem.

  • Break down complex programs into clear objectives and realistic timelines, with defined success metrics, milestones, and testable acceptance criteria.

  • Coordinate with Engineering Management and Delivery Management to manage handoffs, surface risks early, and ensure delivery across platform, feature, and partner teams.

  • Validate and expand incoming requests through background research, stakeholder interviews, and digging into data, turning tactical asks into strategic opportunities.

  • Collaborate across departments to align timelines, uncover duplication or parallel efforts, and ensure end-to-end coordination.

  • Help grow the TPM practice by sharing tooling, repeatable frameworks, and process improvements.

  • Bring a proactive, steady mindset to high-stakes, fast-moving environments — making order out of chaos and helping teams move with clarity and confidence

What you'll bring

  • 2-4 years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, Technical Product Manager, or Engineering Lead, preferably in a product-heavy environment.

  • Strong understanding of technical systems, backend workflows, and how cross-team integrations work.

  • Experience working with Engineering and Product teams to ship projects in iterative cycles.

  • Comfortable writing requirements, documenting assumptions, and tracking progress across multiple stakeholders.

  • Hands-on SQL experience for exploring data, validating changes, or debugging.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (Snowflake, AWS), APIs, and data pipelines.

  • Excellent communication and organizational skills – you keep teams aligned and informed.
