Senior Analyst (Risk & Compliance)
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 450 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? Are you an elite analytical "specialist" who loves to go deep into complex datasets? We are looking for a Senior Analyst to be the technical lead for our Risk, Legal, and Responsible Gaming data operations. This is a high-impact, Individual Contributor role for a practitioner who wants to remain "hands-on" while influencing the strategic direction of our platform’s integrity. You will act as the primary technical partner for our Risk and Compliance stakeholders, transforming legal and safety requirements into high-performance analytical tools.
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in data analytics, specifically within Risk, Trust & Safety, or FinTech.
- Elite SQL Skills: You are the person others go to for help with window functions, complex joins, and query optimization in a Data Lake environment.
- Statistical Fluency: Experience using Python or R for more than just data cleaning—you use it for pattern recognition, anomaly detection, and cluster analysis.
- Compliance Mindset: A track record of working in "high-stakes" environments where data errors have real-world legal or financial consequences.
- Visual Storytelling: The ability to take a massive, messy dataset and distill it into a clear, executive-level Tableau dashboard that highlights "Risk vs. Reward."
Nice To Haves
- Niche Expertise: Prior experience in the iGaming or Fantasy Sports industry, specifically dealing with state-level compliance and "Responsible Gaming" metrics.
- Automation-First Philosophy: You have a "builder" mindset—if you have to pull a report twice, you’d rather write a script to automate it forever.
- Intellectual Curiosity: A passion for staying ahead of "bad actors" and evolving global regulations.
Responsibilities
- Technical Domain Ownership: Serve as the "Single Source of Truth" for all data related to Fraud, AML (Anti-Money Laundering), and Responsible Gaming.
- Advanced Logic Design: Write the complex SQL and Python logic that powers our risk-scoring engines, identifying everything from multiple accounts to early signs of problem gambling.
- Regulatory Data Pipelines: Architect and maintain the automated workflows that generate mandatory reports for gaming commissions and legal audits, ensuring 100% data integrity.
- Deep-Dive Forensic Analysis: Conduct "post-mortem" analyses on major fraud events or compliance breaches to identify gaps in our telemetry and suggest technical fixes.
- Self-Service Tooling: Build robust, high-fidelity tools that empower the Fraud Ops and Legal teams to investigate cases independently without needing a developer.
Benefits
- Company-subsidized medical, dental, & vision plans
- 401(k) plan with company match
