Job summary

Fanatics Betting & Gaming in Denver is seeking an Operations Data Analyst to join the Analytics & AI Enablement team. You’ll build the analytical foundations that Ops leaders rely on across Support, Fraud, Payments, and WFM, translating data into actionable recommendations.

You’ll pair strong SQL with clear storytelling, inform strategic decisions, and drive end-to-end ownership of dashboards and data products, collaborating across cross-functional partners.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience in Strategy, Consulting, Strategic Operations, or a closely related analytical role.
• Strong hands-on SQL skills — able to write, QA, and optimize complex queries independently.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with experience presenting to senior leadership.
• A natural problem solver with a strong bias toward action and a track record of driving things to completion.
• Empathetic team player who works effectively across functions and builds trust quickly with new stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Translate complex, sometimes messy data into a clear point of view with actionable recommendations Ops teams can use
• Present findings and proposals directly to Ops leaders and senior stakeholders with confidence and polish
• Build genuine working relationships across Payments, Fraud, Product, WFM, and CX - you're a collaborator first, not just a data provider.
• Read the room: know when a stakeholder needs the executive summary versus the full methodology, and adjust accordingly.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects with clear, consistent communication to stakeholders and leadership.
• Own end-to-end data domain: pipelines and dashboards; write, QA, and optimize complex SQL.
• Proactively catch data quality issues and resolve them (or escape them) before they surface in leadership reporting.
• Deprecate manual, one-off reporting in favor of automated, always-on solutions.
• Autonomously drive short and long-term projects from problem definition through execution.
• Support the Ops AI roadmap - pulling data, building the business case, and validating the data foundation before a build kicks off.
• Track and report on AI agent performance post-deployment against top-line Ops goals.
• Build lightweight alerting on critical Ops metrics to reduce reactive firefighting.
