• Show data‑driven partnership impact: In your resume and interview, include a concise case study (1‑page PDF) where you quantified partnership‑generated engagement or revenue (e.g., “Boosted monthly active users by 22% and lifted partner‑derived ARPU $0.45 / user using cohort analysis in SQL/Amplitude”). Better Collective’s interviewers will probe for the exact metrics, tools (SQL, Amplitude, Mixpanel) and the experiment design you used.
• Demonstrate cross‑regional collaboration: Prepare a short slide deck (3‑5 slides) that maps a product launch you led across at least two time zones, highlighting how you used async tools (Jira, Confluence, Slack / Threads) and synchronous slots (bi‑weekly “EU‑US sync” calls). Cite concrete outcomes (e.g., “Reduced hand‑off latency by 30%”); this signals you can thrive in their US‑Europe hybrid teams.
• Tailor your portfolio to sports‑betting ecosystems: Include one or two examples where you built or iterated on a partner‑facing feature for a betting, fantasy‑sports, or media product (e.g., “Integrated third‑party odds API into FUTBIN UI, increasing click‑throughs 18%”). If you lack direct industry experience, create a mock‑up in Figma that re‑imagines a Better Collective brand (like VegasInsider) with a new partnership widget and annotate the product decisions.
• Highlight expertise with partnership tech stacks: During the interview, reference specific platforms Better Collective uses (e.g., partner‑tracking via Adjust/Branch, API orchestration with GraphQL, and contract‑management tools like Ironclad). Offer a brief “tech‑fit” paragraph in your cover letter: “Proficient in designing partner integration roadmaps using GraphQL, managing feature flags in LaunchDarkly, and measuring KPI lift in Looker/Tableau.”

• Negotiate remote‑first compensation strategically: Research salary bands for US‑based Product Managers in the sports‑media niche (Glassdoor, Levels.fyi) and factor in Better Collective’s “global scale + startup speed” culture. In the offer stage, request a remote work stipend (e.g., $2‑3k / year for home‑office setup) and benchmark equity grants against recent Series‑C funded media tech firms, citing publicly disclosed Better Collective financials.
