Operations Analyst, Strategy & Analytics

Location: Denver or New York Reports To: Sr. Manager Ops Analytics & Strategy

As an Operations Data Analyst at Fanatics Betting & Gaming you are on the front lines of how the Customer Operations Team understands its own performance. This role sits within the Analytics & AI Enablement team and is the connective tissue between the data and the decision: youll build and own the analytical foundations that Ops leaders across Customer Support Fraud Payments and WFM rely on and then youll translate what it means guide recommendations and align stakeholders on what to do next.

Technical depth alone isnt enough for this seat. We need someone whos as strong in SQL as they are at turning that analysis into a clear persuasive narrative and building real working relationships across a fast-moving cross-functional organization. Think less analyst who reports numbers and more operator who happens to be excellent with data.
