Director, Executive and Corporate Communications
About The Position
At PrizePicks, we are the fastest-growing sports company in North America, as recognized by Inc. 5000. As the leading platform for Daily Fantasy Sports, we cover a diverse range of sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and Esports titles like League of Legends and Counter-Strike. Our team of over 550 employees thrives in an inclusive culture that values individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their level of sports fandom. Ready to reimagine the DFS industry together? PrizePicks is seeking a Director of Executive & Corporate Communications to shape how our leadership team shows up in the world. You'll be the strategic partner for our senior executives — turning business strategy into compelling narratives, preparing leaders for high-stakes moments, and making sure the PrizePicks’ team is part of the conversation happening across sports gaming, daily fantasy, and prediction markets.
Requirements
- 10+ years in communications, with meaningful experience in executive and corporate communications, especially counseling an executive leadership team.
- Experience operating inside a regulated, high-growth industry — where the news cycle moves fast and the stakes are real.
- A track record of turning business objectives into compelling narratives.
- Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills across multiple executive formats.
- Sound judgment under pressure. You've drafted a statement on a tight deadline before and know the difference between fast and reckless.
- Strong news judgment and a real interest in the categories PrizePicks competes in — you should already have opinions on how this industry is evolving.
- The ability to operate as a senior individual contributor, setting strategy, influencing without authority and delivering personally where required.
- You must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
Nice To Haves
- Direct experience in sports gaming, daily fantasy sports, or prediction markets.
- Experience supporting an executive through a major public moment.
Responsibilities
- Build our executives' thought-leadership platform from the ground up – identifying the moments where our leaders should have a point of view – including industry events.
- Turn business strategy and product milestones into narratives – defining the two or three ideas each leader should be known for, and build a high-impact content plan around them.
- Create compelling executive-authored owned content — LinkedIn posts, bylines, newsletters, digital assets and blog posts — writing in each leader's voice to reinforce the company’s strategy, culture and reputation.
- Own PrizePicks’ corporate social channels, including LinkedIn and PrizePicks News on X, to develop a cadence of stories that drive engagement and enhance the company’s reputation.
- Collaborate with other departments across PrizePicks, as well as members of the communications team, including policy & product, brand & growth and internal communications – to develop compelling corporate stories to increase our share of voice.
- Work closely with the CCO and the communications team to prepare executives for conferences, investor and partner organizations and industry events.
- Keep a close eye on the competitive and regulatory landscape, and use those developments to sharpen what our leaders say.
- Track what's actually landing — which posts, ideas, and formats build our thought leadership — and use it to sharpen the plan, not just produce more content.
- Ensure consistency of messaging across earned, owned, executive and corporate channels.
- Establish communications processes, editorial planning, and governance that improve consistency, collaboration and execution.
Benefits
