Product Manager, Search and AI

Quick Facts

• Role: Product Manager (Emerging Experiences)
• Scope: Core search (find markets, teams, players, events) + AceAI (AI-assisted bet-building)

Description

FanDuel is looking for a Product Manager to build search and an AI-assisted bet-building experience for its sportsbook. The role spans two connected areas: core search (query understanding, relevance, ranking, results presentation, and filtering) and AceAI, an AI-powered product that helps customers navigate betting decisions with intelligence and confidence. You will lead multiple small, autonomous pods and translate broader Advanced Search vision into well-scoped, well-executed quarterly outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Lead multiple pods (engineers and AI agents) focused on specific search or AI discovery problems
• Set direction for each pod: define the problem, own prioritization, and keep teams moving
• Work hands-on with engineers and designers by writing clear specs, removing blockers, and driving decisions
• Advance core search experience: query understanding, relevance, ranking, results presentation, filtering
• Drive AceAI forward: identify where AI-assisted guidance creates value and translate it into shippable features
• Identify user problems and opportunities via research, data analysis, and competitive review
• Define success criteria for each pod and track outcomes post-launch objectively
• Use A/B experimentation to validate hypotheses and drive continuous improvement
• Leverage AI tooling and agents effectively; direct AI-assisted workflows alongside human engineers
• Contribute to Advanced Search roadmap discussions with proposals grounded in user insight and commercial impact
• Maintain deep knowledge of how search and AI discovery experiences work across consumer apps
• Collaborate across engineering, design, analytics, data, and operational functions for smooth releases and post-launch optimization
• Communicate proactively with stakeholders on progress, blockers, and learnings

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree preferred
• Minimum 3+ years experience as a product manager (4–5 years typical for strong candidates)
• Demonstrated experience building search, discovery, or AI-powered features in consumer-facing apps (e.g., relevance tuning, query understanding, NLP integrations, recommendation systems)
• Proven ability to operate independently on initiative execution: scoping, planning, and delivering across multiple priority streams within a quarter
• Solid experimentation fundamentals: design tests, reason about metrics, connect product decisions to commercial outcomes (conversion, engagement, retention)
• Comfort in a fast-moving AI-native environment with familiarity in AI tooling and directing AI-assisted workflows
• Strong operator mentality: decisive, unblocking, and effective at keeping multiple pods moving in parallel
• Proven track record of shipping products with measurable outcomes
• Knowledge and implementation experience of modern product practices and experimentation strategies
• Strong quantitative skills and comfort with data
• Excellent critical thinking and collaboration
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills

Benefits

• Health plans with options that may be as low as $0 per paycheck, including fertility and family planning, mental health support, and fitness benefits
• Generous paid time off (PTO & sick leave)
• Annual bonus and long-term incentive opportunities (based on performance)
• 401k with up to a 5% match
• Commuter benefits
• Pet insurance
• Benefits vary by location, role, and level
• Paid personal time off and 14 paid company holidays
• Paid sick time in accordance with state and federal laws
• Medical, vision, and dental insurance; life insurance; disability insurance
• Short-term or long-term incentive compensation may be available (cash bonuses and stock program participation)
