 🤝 You Belong Here – About You 

You don’t need to have watched hockey since you were five. We care more about your curiosity, mindset, and problem-solving skills than your resume. 

We’re especially excited to hear from people who:

  • Have high attention to detail - especially under pressure. 

  • Communicate clearly, thoughtfully, and enjoy collaborating in a team. 

  • Are open to working weekends as part of a flexible 5-day schedule. 

  • May have a background in sports, maths, game theory, e-sports or STEM. 

We strongly encourage applications from women, gender-diverse people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds - even if you don’t meet every requirement.

  • How to use our internal betting tools 

  • Interpreting game data & odds models 

  • Ice hockey-specific trading principles 

✅ Requirements (Don’t sweat the small stuff) 

If you tick most of these, we encourage you to apply—even if you’re unsure: 

  • Comfortable with numbers and basic probability 

  • Strong attention to detail 

  • Passion for ice hockey (any league!) and a desire to deepen your expertise 

  • Collaborative mindset 

  • Open to working weekends on a rotating basis 

 💼 What We Offer 

  • $650 home office allowance and hybrid working options
