Advanced Analytics Manager Jobs in Edison, NJ (NOW HIRING)

THE POSITIONOur roster has an opening with your name on it
We are looking for an experienced analytics leader to manage our Fraud, Payments & Operations Analytics team, working with partners across FanDuel to understand the risk, payment, and operational dynamics that shape the business and drive smarter, faster decisions. You'll lead a team of analysts whose work translates complex data - spanning fraud patterns and payment performance, and extending into internal controls, our Core Products and Experiences functions (account, wallet, and more), and other internal business functions - into clear, actionable recommendations for stakeholders across the company.
As the Advanced Analytics Manager, you will guide your team's deep expertise in fraud and payments analytics while extending that same rigor across the broader operational landscape - always balancing protection of the company and our customers with an exceptional customer experience - partnering closely with risk, payments, and operations stakeholders to shape decisions rather than simply monitor or report on them. The ideal candidate will possess strong business acumen, exceptional analytical skills, and a track record of developing analytical talent. This position is based out of New York and has hybrid work-from-home flexibility.
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.
THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

• Lead a team of analysts focused on fraud, payments, and the drivers of operational performance across the business
• Own a portfolio of complex, high-visibility analyses - serving as the primary point of contact for stakeholders and managing timelines and deliverables
• Apply advanced analytics techniques to identify trends and insights firsthand, setting the technical bar for the team's work
• Manage the day-to-day work and tasks for your direct reports, ensuring projects and resources stay aligned with departmental priorities
• Own the accuracy and quality of team output - reviewing analyses, models, and reporting, and ensuring they're complete, refreshed, and stakeholder-ready before communication
• Provide management, coaching, and professional development to analysts on your team, tailoring your approach across a range of experience levels
• Shape team strategy and ways of working - identifying process improvements and evolving the team's analytical approach as business priorities shift
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including risk, payments, and Core Products and Experiences (CPE), to understand business needs and guide your team's development of analytics solutions to address them
• Partner with data engineering, product, and governance teams to ensure data quality, integration, and accessibility for fraud, payments, and operations analytics initiatives
