About The Position

FanDuel is seeking a Senior Product Owner to lead delivery execution for complex, high-impact initiatives within the New Ventures team, with a focus on FanDuel Predicts, our prediction markets product. This role combines hands-on product delivery leadership with people management and plays a critical role in scaling execution quality as Predicts grows.
The Senior Product Owner partners closely with Product Managers, who own product vision, strategy, and success metrics, while the Senior Product Owner owns the how — ensuring product priorities are translated into structured delivery plans, high-quality requirements, and reliable outcomes across engineering teams.
In this role, the Senior Product Owner owns delivery across multiple initiatives and product areas, driving execution from concept through release. They operate with a high degree of independence and accountability, managing delivery health, cross-team dependencies, and risk, while ensuring requirements are clear, actionable, and aligned with technical constraints.
The Senior Product Owner acts as both a people manager and individual contributor, remaining actively embedded within at least one engineering team while managing and mentoring multiple Product Owners. This dual role ensures delivery standards are consistently applied and scaled across teams.
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.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in product management, product ownership, or delivery-focused technical roles within software or digital product environments.
• Proven experience owning and delivering large, complex, and strategically significant initiatives across multiple product areas.
• Strong technical depth within the domain, with the ability to operate independently, provide clear delivery updates, and proactively identify and mitigate risks or blockers.
• Demonstrated ability to keep the customer perspective central to delivery and execution decisions.
• Experience developing, implementing, and scaling Product Owner practices, tools, and standards that support consistent, high-quality delivery.
• Strong experience working in Agile environments, with a passion for continuous improvement and inspect-and-adapt ways of working.
• Proven ability to lead stakeholder interviews and facilitate workshops to align on problems, outcomes, and execution plans.
• High proficiency in defining and refining user stories, acceptance criteria, and definition-of-done standards across teams.
• Experience managing, coaching, or mentoring Product Owners or delivery team members, with the ability to set clear expectations and raise execution quality.
• Consistently drives high standards of performance, meeting or exceeding challenging delivery goals.
• Demonstrates strong self-awareness and adaptability across different team dynamics and organizational contexts.
• Clearly understands and communicates the impact of scope changes on timelines, cost, and team capacity, with respect for both effort and people’s time.
