What is sports betting risk management?

Sports betting risk management refers to the process of identifying, analyzing, and mitigating potential financial losses for sportsbooks and betting operators. Professionals in this field use statistical models, real-time data, and odds adjustments to limit exposure to large payouts and prevent manipulation or fraud. Their work ensures the sportsbook remains profitable and stable by balancing wagers and setting appropriate limits.

What are some common challenges faced in a Sports Betting Risk role, and how can they be managed effectively?

Professionals in Sports Betting Risk often encounter challenges such as rapidly changing odds, unexpected betting patterns, and the need to quickly assess potential liabilities. Managing these challenges requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work well under pressure. Collaboration with traders, data analysts, and compliance teams is essential to monitor risk exposure and implement timely adjustments. Staying updated on sports events and regulatory changes is also crucial for effective risk management in this fast-paced environment.

Its mission: create reusable, reliable foundations so every Fantics business can move faster without starting from scratch.
Overview
Operating as a Sr. Staff Technical Program Manager within Fanatics Core, you will serve as a senior leader in our Lean TPM Organization - a force multiplier operating at the highest levels of technical and strategic complexity.
Fanatics Ecosystem. You will be a senior leader within our Lean TPM Organization - a force multiplier operating at the highest levels of technical and strategic complexity. The Sr. Staff TPM is a technologist and organizational catalyst who shapes program strategy, drives enterprise-wide alignment, and sets the standard for execution excellence across the company.
You will report directly to the TPM Org Leader and work in partnership with senior Engineering and Product leadership to influence organizational direction, architect scalable program frameworks, and lead the most complex, high-impact initiatives across FBG. This role goes beyond execution - it demands systems thinking, cross-pillar influence, and the ability to translate ambiguity into durable, scalable solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Program Leadership
  • Define and own program strategy for the most complex, cross-pillar technical initiatives at Fanatics, with direct accountability to VP and C-suite leadership.
  • Anticipate organizational and technical risks at a systems level; develop mitigation strategies before they impact delivery or business outcomes.
  • Translate enterprise roadmaps and business strategy into scalable, actionable program frameworks and operating models.
  • Drive prioritization and investment tradeoffs across multiple Engineering pillars in partnership with senior leadership.

Cross-Organizational Influence & Stakeholder Partnership
  • Serve as the senior TPM voice in executive forums, steering committees, and cross-functional planning sessions.
  • Build deep partnerships with VPs, SVPs, and C-suite stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Marketing Technology, and Customer Support.
  • Drive alignment across competing priorities and organizations; navigate ambiguity and organizational complexity with confidence and clarity.
  • Influence without authority at all levels

Delivery & Execution Excellence
  • Lead delivery of the most critical and complex programs across FBG's FCore domain, ensuring high-quality outcomes at pace.
  • Establish and own program health frameworks, including OKRs, KPIs, risk registers, and delivery scorecards.
  • Proactively identify systemic bottlenecks and implement structural solutions - not just tactical fixes.

Operational Excellence & Org-Wide Framework Design
  • Architect and implement scalable, repeatable program management frameworks
  • The ability to define standards for SDLC governance, delivery rigor, ATS workflows, and reporting accuracy at an enterprise level.
  • Drive continuous improvement of how FBG plans, builds, and ships - improving speed, quality, and engineering experience simultaneously.

Technology & Innovation
  • Maintain deep fluency in distributed systems, microservice architectures, and platform engineering - applying this knowledge to program strategy and risk identification.
  • Stay ahead of emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices; translate insights into organizational recommendations.
  • Partner with Engineering leadership to evaluate build vs. buy decisions and shape technical direction at a program level.

Experience and Skills
  • 8+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, with demonstrated success leading enterprise-wide, multi-pillar programs.
  • 10+ years of direct experience working with Software Engineering teams at scale.
  • Proven track record of executive-level stakeholder management (VP, SVP, C-suite), including leading steering committees and executive readouts.
  • Demonstrated ability to design and implement scalable program frameworks adopted across large engineering organizations.
  • Strong data fluency - ability to build executive-ready narratives from complex program data, model risk, and drive decisions through insight.
  • Deep expertise across multiple SDLC methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and ability to prescribe the right model for a given context.
  • Experience managing programs across large, matrixed tech organizations with multiple P&L verticals and shared services (e.g., platform/infrastructure dependencies).
  • High ownership mindset with exceptional executive presence, communication, and influence skills.
  • Demonstrated experience mentoring and elevating TPM peers and junior practitioners.
  • Comfort in using AI Tools to drive better efficiency and more effective outcomes (Claude, ChatGPT)

Preferred Experience
  • Experience in regulated industries (iGaming, fintech, or similar) with an understanding of compliance-driven program constraints.
  • Deep experience with microservice-based architectures and distributed systems at scale.
  • Experience operating in a Scaled Agile (SAFe) environment across multiple teams.
  • Comfort operating as an organizational thought leader - shaping how TPM as a discipline functions across a company.
  • Experience in fast-paced, high-growth environments with rapidly shifting priorities and organizational structures.
