Programming Strategist II

Focusing on how customers “experience” and engage with content across the app, the Programming Strategist II will help drive the Audience Engagement team’s strategic efforts and amplify how customers interact with the product. The role’s purpose is to optimize the touchpoints where customers can engage with betting content, with an emphasis on strategic planning and merchandising, experimentation- and research-led optimization, refining displays for consistency and intuitiveness, and identifying and removing points of friction. Spanning across the Planning, Testing, and Display focus areas, the Programming Strategist II will master data and testing ecosystems, while helping manage documentation that aids the Audience Engagement team’s decision-making capabilities. They will work directly with the two additional Audience Engagements teams: Programming (operational team responsible for fulfilling plans and programming the sportsbook via our CMS) and Enablement (responsible for supporting Audience Engagement with appropriate tooling and workflows to support speed and scale). At the end of the day, we are working together to build best-in-class customer experiences for millions of users – with the primary goal of being the biggest and best online sports and gaming operator in the United States.
