Your missions

Hi, we’re Underdog!

We’re the fastest-growing sports gaming company ever.

We build innovative games and products for American sports fans.

Founded in 2020, our team built four of today’s most widely played fantasy games and recently launched our Underdog Sportsbook. We are the only sportsbook to ever launch on our own home grown technology, which allows us to build different and innovative experiences. We believe there’s so much more to be built for sports fans, and we’ll continue to win by building the best products and experiences for our customers.

The opportunity in front of us to become the biggest company in our space is massive; after all, we’re currently sitting in the fastest-growing consumer industry in the U.S. In just over two years, we reached a nearly $500 million valuation through some of the best investors in the game, including Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, BlackRock, and SV Angel. We are many times larger now and our growth is not slowing down.

At Underdog, we believe that sports are for everyone and are building a tomorrow for every fan. Want to help create that future? Join us.

  About the role and why it’s unique:

  • Develop and implement comprehensive communication strategies that align with Underdog Fantasy’s goals and objectives.
  • Draft internal and external communications, ensuring consistency and clarity in messaging.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with media contacts, serving as the primary point of contact for press inquiries and media relations.
  • Coordinate public relations efforts, including press releases, media kits, and event planning.
  • Collaborate with the marketing team to promote company products and initiatives through various channels.
  • Act as a liaison between the Head of Communications and other departments, ensuring seamless communication and project coordination.
  • Monitor media coverage and industry trends to provide insights and recommendations to the leadership team.
Who you are:
  • At least 5 years of experience in a communications role
  • Strong writing and editing skills.
  • Established contacts within the media industry and experience managing media relations.
  • Highly organized with strong project management abilities.
  • Strong interpersonal and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across various departments.
  • Proficiency in digital and social media platforms, as well as familiarity with communication tools and software.
Even better if you have:
  • Experience working in a high growth, fast paced environment.

Our targeted compensation rate for this position is between $120,000 and $143,000, depending on experience, plus equity. Think your skills are exceptional and warrant higher pay? Apply anyway! If we agree, we're willing to negotiate.

This position may require sports betting licensure based on certain state regulations.
What we can offer you:
  • Unlimited PTO for salaried employees (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • A $500 home office allowance
  • A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce
