Merchandising Operations Associate
The MerchOps Experimentation Associate supports the merchandising experimentation program across FanDuel Sportsbook and Predicts, partnering closely with the Senior Associate, Experimentation and the MerchOps Sr. Director. This role sits at the heart of how we test, learn and ship improvements to the customer experience - from A/B tests to multivariate and multi-armed bandits - covering the full experimentation lifecycle at a smaller scale, with guidance from more senior team members on design nuance and go/no-go decisioning. The Associate will help run experiments end-to-end across both surfaces - Sportsbook merchandising (parlay module, pre-packaged bets, market templates, SGP/SGP+, X-Event) and Predicts (prediction markets UX, module placement, event discovery). They'll partner cross-functionally with Product, Risk & Trading, Tech, Commercial, and UX Analytics to build, QA, monitor, and report on tests, keeping the pipeline visible and the learnings flowing back into the roadmap In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.
