About Us

Launched from a Stanford dorm room, Team Rankings has evolved from a math geek’s passion project into a profitable and growing business. Sports fans worldwide rely on our models, tools, and stats to analyze the games they love and make winning decisions in betting, pools, and fantasy.

Without raising any VC funding, we've built three consumer brands (TeamRankings, BetIQ, and PoolGenius) that attract over 11 million annual website visitors and 10,000+ paying subscribers. We also work with industry leaders like ESPN, FanDuel, and The Action Network.

Job Description

We are seeking a Content Marketing Manager who blends sharp editorial skills with keen marketing instincts. This job will begin as an individual contributor role, with the goal of growing a team as you scale the business impact of the content function. You will have accountability for generating revenue via content, and you will execute a busy daily lineup of content deliverables.

The Content Marketing Manager will have three main objectives:

1. Design and execute new content initiatives. You will drive sales of our premium subscription products for sports betting and pools by implementing content and/or community-based strategies, while also increasing brand awareness, audience sizes, and engagement.

2. Create content our target audience loves. From articles to podcasts to videos, you will serve as our primary editor and producer, writing and publishing daily content, leveraging technology to scale your output, and ensuring all content reinforces our brand promise.

3. Grow and manage our content partner program. You will recruit, engage, and develop relationships with media companies, creators, and influencers; encourage them to reference and showcase our products; and expand the revenue impact of this channel.

This newly created, entrepreneurial role offers the opportunity to scale an existing content operation that already generates substantial revenue, yet has big potential for further growth. You will have ownership over the content function, your performance will make a meaningful impact on our bottom line, and you will share in the financial success you help achieve.

Best of all, you'll join a talented team that loves what they do, has fun at work, and gets paid to think about sports, betting, and data.
