Product Manager, Search and AI
FanDuel is looking for a Product Manager to help build the search and AI-assisted bet-building experience at the heart of its sportsbook. This role sits within the Emerging Experiences pillar and spans two connected areas: core search, which involves how millions of customers find markets, teams, players, and events, and AceAI, an AI-powered product that helps customers navigate betting decisions with intelligence and confidence.
The team works in small, autonomous pods, each consisting of a focused group of engineers and AI agents oriented around a specific customer problem. The Product Manager will work across multiple pods, driving initiative-level execution and keeping delivery on track across priority streams. Operating within a broader Advanced Search area led by a Lead PM who sets overall vision and strategy, the role involves translating that direction into well-scoped, well-executed quarterly outcomes. This position is suited for an independent operator who is comfortable making decisions with imperfect information and is ready to grow into broader strategic ownership.
- Lead multiple pods, which are small, focused teams of engineers and AI agents, each oriented around a specific search or AI discovery problem.
- Set clear direction for each pod by defining the problem, owning prioritisation, and making the calls needed to keep teams moving.
- Work hands-on with engineers and designers daily by writing clear specifications, removing blockers, and driving decisions without escalating unnecessarily.
- Advance the core search experience, including query understanding, relevance, ranking, results presentation, and filtering, to continuously improve how customers find what they are looking for.
- Drive the AceAI product forward by 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 the area through research, data analysis, and competitive review.
- Define success criteria for each pod's work and 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 pods operate, including 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 pod decisions.
- Collaborate across engineering, design, analytics, data, and operational functions to ensure smooth releases and post-launch optimisations.
- Communicate clearly and proactively with stakeholders on pod progress, blockers, and learnings.
- Bachelor’s degree (preferred)
- Minimum 3+ years' experience as a product manager or similar role (required)
- 4-5 years of experience (preferred)
- Demonstrated experience building search, discovery, or AI-powered features in consumer-facing apps, such as relevance tuning, query understanding, NLP integrations, or recommendation systems (required)
- Proven ability to operate independently on initiative execution, including scoping, planning, and delivering across multiple priority streams within a quarter (required)
- Solid experimentation fundamentals, including the ability to design tests, reason about metrics, and connect product decisions to commercial outcomes (required)
- Comfortable in a fast-moving, AI-native environment, including familiarity with AI tooling and the ability to direct AI-assisted workflows (required)
- Strong operator mentality, including being decisive, unblocking, and effective at keeping multiple pods moving in parallel (required)
- Proven track record of shipping products that users love, with measurable outcomes (required)
- Knowledge and implementation experience of modern product practices and experimentation strategies (required)
- Strong quantitative skills and comfort with data (required)
- Excellent critical thinker and collaborator (required)
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills (required)
- Health plans including programs for fertility and family planning, mental health support, and fitness benefits
- Generous paid time off (PTO) and sick leave
- Annual bonus and long-term incentive opportunities
- 401k with up to a 5% match
- Commuter benefits
- Pet insurance
- Medical, vision, and dental insurance
- Life insurance
- Disability insurance
- 14 paid company holidays
