At Underdog, we make sports more fun.

Our thesis is simple: build the best products and we’ll build the biggest company in the space, because there’s so much more to be built for sports fans. We’re just over five years in, and we’re one of the fastest-growing sports companies ever, most recently valued at $1.3B. And it’s still the early days.

We’ve built and scaled multiple games and products across fantasy sports, sports betting, and prediction markets, all united in one seamless, simple, easy to use, intuitive and fun app. 

Underdog isn’t for everyone. One of our core values is give a sh*t. The people who win here are the ones who care, push, and perform. If that’s you, come join us.

Winning as an Underdog is more fun.

This is more than a Project Manager — you'll be the operational backbone of a fast-moving creative team, owning everything from complex, multi-channel campaign productions and video shoots to quick-turn one-off assets. You'll also have a unique opportunity to shape how the team integrates AI tools into everyday workflows, from briefing and scheduling to copy generation and creative feedback.

About the role
  • Own end-to-end project management for complex, integrated campaigns and video productions, tracking briefs, timelines, reviews, and final delivery across multiple stakeholders
  • Simultaneously manage a high volume of smaller one-off creative requests (static, video, animation), keeping all projects moving without letting anything fall through the cracks
  • Maintain Monday.com as the single source of truth for all active projects, timelines, and team capacity, own the daily hotsheet so priorities and deadlines are always clear
  • Lead weekly creative status meetings with team leads to ensure alignment, surface blockers early, and drive accountability
  • Build and maintain a live resourcing model that maps team bandwidth to project load, flag gaps, overages, and risks before they become problems
  • Proactively identify and implement AI tools and workflow improvements that help the team work faster, smarter, and more consistently
  • Use AI tools to draft copy, give structured feedback on creative writing, and help the team iterate faster on messaging
Who you are
  • A project management pro who thrives in fast-paced, high-output environments, equally comfortable managing a six-week video campaign and a same-week static asset
  • You understand production workflows deeply, what it actually takes to run a video shoot, manage post-production, and hit a delivery date
  • Highly organized but flexible, you know when to hold the line on process and when to adapt without losing momentum
  • Genuinely excited about AI, you're already using it to work smarter and you want to help an entire team do the same
  • Comfortable using AI to draft and refine copy, and able to give clear, constructive feedback on creative writing
  • A strong communicator who keeps stakeholders aligned, surfaces issues early, and comes to the table with solutions, not just problems
  • Detail-obsessed but not a bottleneck, you move fast, bring others with you, and make the work feel easier for the whole team
Even better if you have
  • Experience in a sports, entertainment, or gaming environment
  • Hands-on experience managing video productions, including pre-production planning, shoot logistics, and post-production timelines
  • Familiarity with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or similar, especially for copy drafting, creative feedback, or workflow automation
  • Background in a creative or production agency where juggling multiple project types simultaneously is the norm
  • Experience building or optimizing creative operations workflows from scratch

Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $112,000 and $140,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

We're a remote-first company and value in-person connection. That said, we expect everyone to gather 2-3 times per year for team and company offsites, trainings, and more.

This position may require sports betting licensure based on certain state regulations.

Underdog is an equal opportunity employer and doesn't discriminate on the basis of creed, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability status, or any other defining characteristic.
