Fanatics is building a leading global digital sports platform. We ignite the passions of global sports fans and maximize the presence and reach for our hundreds of sports partners globally by offering products and services across Fanatics Commerce, Fanatics Collectibles, and Fanatics Betting & Gaming, allowing sports fans to Buy, Collect, and Bet. Through the Fanatics platform, sports fans can buy licensed fan gear, jerseys, lifestyle and streetwear products, headwear, and hardgoods; collect physical and digital trading cards, sports memorabilia, and other digital assets; and bet as the company builds its Sportsbook and iGaming platform. Fanatics has an established database of over 100 million global sports fans; a global partner network with approximately 900 sports properties, including major national and international professional sports leagues, players associations, teams, colleges, college conferences and retail partners, 2,500 athletes and celebrities, and 200 exclusive athletes; and over 2,000 retail locations, including its Lids retail stores. Our more than 22,000 employees are committed to relentlessly enhancing the fan experience and delighting sports fans globally. Every time a fan places a bet, earns a reward, or checks out on Fanatics - Fanatics Core made that possible. We build the shared foundations - identity, payments, loyalty, wallet, data, and platform - that power sports betting, ecommerce, collectibles, and beyond. We supercharge the business by providing products and capabilities so that teams can focus on what matters most: building delightful experiences for the fans. Fanatics is uniquely positioned at the intersection of sports commerce, betting, and collectibles, and Fanatics ONE is the loyalty and identity program that ties it all together.

We partner across the organization, move fast with modern tech, and keep quality high so fans always feel the value of loyalty, whether they are shopping, playing, or engaging with new product experiences. If you love building cross-company platforms that touch millions of fans, this is the kind of work that makes an impact.
