Data analyst jobs in Los Angeles, CA

About the role

You lead the team that owns the analytical backbone of how the Operations Department understands its own performance. Sitting within the Strategic Operations & Analytics team, you manage a small team of analysts whose work is used every day by leaders across CX, Fraud, Payments, WFM, and VIP. You also remain directly involved in the work. This is a hands-on manager role, roughly an even split between leading the team and doing the work. You will write and optimize SQL, review your team's models and analyses, and own complex cross-functional initiatives end-to-end. You will set the bar for that work, develop the people doing it, and be accountable for what the team ships. You’ll work closely with the Sr. Manager of Strategic Operations, who provides strategic direction, executive alignment, and support navigating priorities and cross-functional dependencies. We are actively building toward an AI-first way of operating, and this team is central to it. The right person is technically sharp, relentlessly detail-oriented, and genuinely curious about both what the data is saying and how AI changes the way we find and act on answers. You move fast, own ambiguous problems, and hold yourself and your team to a high bar. #LI-JM3 Ranges will change based on country and state of residence, which are reflected in Geographical Zones defined by Fanatics Betting and Gaming. The range incorporates all of our Geographical Compensation Zones and is subject to change as the Zone associated with the actual offer is confirmed. In addition to the base and bonus, full-time employment, and more. For information about our benefits, please visit https://benefitsatfanatics.com/
