PrizePicks Company Culture & Values

What values do you ideally want to see in an employer?

I look for companies that give their teams the space and support to do great work. The values that matter most to me are pretty simple.

Clarity. I work best when priorities are clear, decisions get made quickly and there’s no wasted motion.

Autonomy with accountability. I believe teams should have the freedom and resources to make decisions, with the understanding that performance is measured by the outcomes of those decisions.

Valuing intelligence. I do my best work when research and analytics are treated as critical tools for gaining an edge, not afterthoughts.

Agility with purpose. I like environments that can adapt quickly when things change, but do it with focus and intent.

How does your employer show a commitment to some (or all) of these?

PrizePicks puts real investment behind research, analytics and intelligence. Insights are respected and expected to influence both product and marketing choices. 

I’m trusted to set the strategy for Insights and have the resources to run with what I want to do and our success is measured by outcomes — like whether insights are adopted and applied and the impact they have on the success of our products, experiences and campaigns. 

We’re in a fast-moving industry, so agility matters. We pivot when conditions change and that’s only possible because autonomy and ownership are built into the way we work.

Why is it important to you that your work (and workplace leaders) share these values? 

In a competitive space and to perform at my best, I want to be around great people who can move quickly and make smart, data-informed decisions. When my team, peers and leaders share the same values, it makes everything smoother. There’s less noise, more trust and we can put our energy into making an impact that really moves the business forward.
