Senior Creative Ops Project Manager

At Underdog, we make sports more fun.

Our thesis is simple: build the best product for sports fans and we will win the space. Founded in 2020, we're one of the fastest-growing sports companies ever, and there’s still so much left to do. We've built and scaled products across fantasy sports, sports betting, and prediction markets, all united in one app that’s seamless, intuitive, and actually fun to use.

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. We’re remote-first by design, but highly collaborative with regular in-person gatherings that help teams build, iterate, and move fast together.

Got that dog in you? Join us.

After all, winning as an Underdog is more fun.

What you'll do:

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.

• 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

Bonus points 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. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors including relevant experience, skills and expertise, interview performance, and other market considerations.

What we can offer you:

• Unlimited PTO for full-time employees (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before and into the NFL season)
• 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
• Home office stipend
• A virtual-first culture, but we come together a few times per year in person for offsites, trainings, hackathons, and more
• Slack reactions for every occasion
• 401k with up to 5% employer match
• Company paid health, dental, vision plan options for employees and dependents, FSA, and more
• Opportunity to celebrate your favorite sports teams through local meetups and company-sponsored events
• Claude and ChatGPT enterprise accounts
