Overview Fanatics Betting & Gaming (FBG) is building some of the most advanced AI-powered customer experience systems in the betting and gaming industry. We're looking for a Strategic Operations Manager to own the performance, quality, and strategic direction of our customer-facing AI Agent. This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, operations, and data-driven decision-making.
