We’re Underdog.

The fastest-growing sports gaming company – ever.

We build innovative games, products, and experiences for American sports fans.

We’re here to shake up the fastest growing industry with bold ideas, custom-built tech, and the drive to win.

Founded in 2020, our team has built four of today’s most widely played fantasy games and launched the Underdog Sportsbook – built entirely in-house with our own technology. That means we control our product, move fast, and create experiences you won’t find anywhere else. 

In just over two years, we’ve reached over a $1.2 billion valuation, with investors like BlackRock, Spark Capital, SV Angel, Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, and Adam Schefter. And we’re just getting started.

At Underdog, we believe that sports are for everyone. Join us.

About the role and why it’s unique:

  • Research industry trends, company intel, and market insights to refine sourcing strategies.
  • Build talent maps to develop a comprehensive view of the market and inform overall search strategy.
  • Proactively source, identify, and engage with passive candidates through LinkedIn and other sourcing tools
  • Develop and maintain standard operating procedures for TA processes, specifically for TA research initiatives and sourcing best practices
  • Build a comprehensive database of market intelligence findings that can be used to inform and drive efficiency for future searches
  • Review sourcing and analytics tooling that can be implemented to help us achieve our strategic goals and objectives

Who you are:

  • 3+ years of experience in talent sourcing, operations, or market research
  • Extremely organized with a high attention to detail
  • Strong analytical and problem solving skills
  • Ability to design, standardize, and execute processes effectively


Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $110,000 and $180,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:

  • Unlimited PTO (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
  • 5% 401k match, FSA, company paid health, dental, vision plan options for employees and dependents
