PrizePicks Most Value Player (MVP) program is intended to ensure the most engaged players enjoy a high quality experience with our brand and product, inspiring loyalty as they enjoy the action and excitement of our leading product portfolio.  We are seeking a strategic and people-driven Director, MVP to lead our high-performing MVP team. This leader will be responsible for growing, engaging, and retaining our most engaged users. This leader sets a high bar for partnership management, operational execution, and people leadership. They bring structure to complex work, non-negotiable responsibility and operational standards, make sound decisions with incomplete information, communicate clearly across stakeholders, and create an environment where the team can deliver a consistent, trusted, and differentiated MVP experience. You will implement and lead customer engagement strategies, oversee a team of MVP relationship managers, and work cross-functionally with product, marketing, compliance, and analytics teams to ensure a best-in-class experience for our top users.

What you’ll do:

Set the MVP strategy and business plan

• Own and evolve the MVP strategy, including player segmentation, tier design, service model, and engagement principles across the player lifecycle - across all products.
• Develop an annual roadmap and operating plan that connects MVP initiatives to retention, engagement, lifetime value, and responsible gaming objectives.
• Identify and prioritize opportunities to improve the MVP experience through personalized outreach, rewards, exclusive access, events, and product or service enhancements.
• Establish clear decision frameworks for investments, offers, experiences, and escalations, balancing player impact, commercial value, and regulatory requirements.
• Communicate and present to the executive leadership team on a regular basis.

Lead and develop a high performing team

• Lead, coach, and develop MVP Managers and Player Representatives, creating clear expectations for leadership, relationship management, and operational excellence.
• Set team goals, service standards, performance measures, and capacity plans; use performance trends to improve execution and develop talent.
• Build scalable playbooks, training, quality standards, escalation protocols, and knowledge-sharing routines that enable consistent, high-quality player experiences.
• Foster a culture of ownership, sound judgment, collaboration, discretion, and responsible gaming stewardship.

Own the MVP player experience

• Design and oversee high-touch engagement strategies that anticipate player needs, strengthen loyalty, and address churn risk before it materializes.
• Serve as the senior escalation point for sensitive or complex MVP matters, ensuring thoughtful resolution and appropriate cross-functional coordination.
• Ensure the program delivers a consistent and differentiated experience across digital touchpoints, service interactions, rewards, and live experiences.
• Use player feedback and relationship-manager insights to identify friction, improve service design, and advocate for the MVP player perspective.
• Have overview and ownership of the entire end-to-end MVP experience

Drive cross functional execution

• Partner with RevOps and CRM teams to translate MVP strategy into targeted lifecycle campaigns, communications, and engagement journeys.
• Work with Product and Analytics to improve the MVP holistic offering and journeys, our understanding of players, product requirements, outcome assessments, and convert insights into scalable solutions.
• Collaborate with Customer Support to align service expectations, handoffs, and escalation practices for top-tier players.
• Partner closely with Compliance and Legal to ensure player interactions, rewards, communications, and events are executed in accordance with applicable requirements and company policies.

Manage performance and continuous improvement

• Define and monitor a balanced scorecard of program and team performance, including retention, engagement, churn, lifetime value, player satisfaction, operational quality, and responsible gaming indicators.
• Translate data and qualitative insights into clear recommendations for senior leaders, with an emphasis on impact, tradeoffs, risks, and next steps.
• Collaborate cross-function to lead testing & measurement of new MVP initiatives; scale successful programs and discontinue approaches that do not create sufficient value.
• Establish disciplined operating rhythms for planning, forecasting, reporting, issue management, and stakeholder communication.

What you have:

• 10+ years of experience in high-value player management, customer success, loyalty, CRM, retention, or customer experience, ideally within gaming, sports betting or DFS.
• 4+ years of progressive people leadership experience, with a demonstrated ability to build, coach, and retain high-performing teams.

• Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, product, analytics, customer support, compliance, and legal stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present to and influence senior stakeholders and build trusted relationships with high-value players.
• Experience with CRM platforms, segmentation, loyalty programs, and performance reporting. Familiarity with responsible gaming practices is strongly preferred.
• Unrelenting passion for delivering exceptional player experiences.
• A passion for sports, fantasy sports, and/or iGaming is a plus.
