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.
Underdog's VIP program is how we turn our biggest fans into our best customers — and this role owns that relationship end to end. As a VIP New Business Associate, you'll be the person our highest-value prospective players talk to, and the one who decides whether that relationship turns into loyalty.
- Build and own relationships with prospective VIP players, driving growth of Underdog's premier VIP engagement program
- Grow a strong VIP user base in your assigned states and build lasting customer loyalty through direct, hands-on relationship management
- Run acquisition strategies that bring new players onto the platform and get them onboarded and engaged from day one
- Turn player activity data and feedback into concrete platform improvements and new growth opportunities
- Own the full player relationship — organizing local events, keeping up regular communication, and resolving escalations when they come up
- Apply Underdog's VIP policies and guidelines, with responsible gaming as a first principle in every interaction
- You have 3+ years in a customer-facing role — sales, account management, or high-touch service in retail or restaurants — where you owned the relationship, not just the transaction
- You take initiative without being told what to work on, and you follow through until there's a result
- You write and speak clearly, and you build real rapport with people you've just met
- You use data and trends to decide what to do next, not just instinct
- You can travel within your assigned state and work nights and weekends around games and events
- Corporate-level account management experience
- Experience in the sports, gaming, or entertainment industry
