VIP New Business Associate (TX)

Underdog is a remote-first sports company building products across fantasy sports, sports betting, and prediction markets in one seamless app. The team is highly collaborative, with regular in-person gatherings.

What you'll do

• Build and own relationships with prospective VIP players, driving growth of Underdog's premier VIP engagement program
• Grow a strong VIP user base in your assigned states and build lasting customer loyalty through direct, hands-on relationship management
• Run acquisition strategies that bring new players onto the platform and get them onboarded and engaged from day one
• Turn player activity data and feedback into concrete platform improvements and new growth opportunities
• Own the full player relationship — organizing local events, keeping up regular communication, and resolving escalations when they come up
• Apply Underdog's VIP policies and guidelines, with responsible gaming as a first principle in every interaction

Who you are

• 3+ years in a customer-facing role — sales, account management, or high-touch service in retail or restaurants — where you owned the relationship, not just the transaction
• You take initiative without being told what to work on, and you follow through until there's a result
• You write and speak clearly, and you build real rapport with people you've just met
• You use data and trends to decide what to do next, not just instinct
• You can travel within your assigned state and work nights and weekends around games and events

Bonus points if you have

• Corporate-level account management experience
• Experience in the sports, gaming, or entertainment industry
