As part of the global Flutter Group, we’re a tight-knit team of 1,300 in Melbourne, Sydney, and Darwin, passionate about challenging the status quo. We’re proud to be recognized as one of LinkedIn’s Top 25 Companies and one of the Top 10 Workplaces for Women.

We’re an inclusive employer who celebrates diversity and is committed to helping you thrive. Whether you’re looking for flexibility, career growth, or a supportive environment, we’re here to help you succeed.

Committed To Responsible Gambling

Our commitment to responsible gambling is genuine and demonstrated through the wide range of responsible gambling initiatives and tools.

We’re proud to be the leaders in responsible gambling in our industry, not just locally, but globally.


About the Role

There’s no better time to join Sportsbet than now, just as the excitement builds toward the Spring Racing Carnival. As a Racing Trader, you’ll be part of the team that brings the energy, strategy, and thrill of racing to life.

This isn’t your standard office job. You’ll work with live markets, real-time data, and some of the country’s most iconic racing events. But you won’t be doing it alone, you’ll be backed by a supportive, collaborative team, expert training, and a culture where innovation, inclusion, and high performance go hand in hand.


What You’ll Do

  • Trade High-Profile Events: Manage pricing and trading for key race meetings, balancing precision with pace across all three codes – thoroughbreds, greyhounds, and harness.
  • Contribute Strategy: Help execute and evolve our trading strategies, using both market insight and customer behaviour data.
  • Optimise Tools & Models: Collaborate with analysts and stakeholders to improve trading models and internal systems.
  • Support & Collaborate: Partner closely with trading operators and the broader trading team to ensure smooth operations and shared learning.
  • Champion Performance: Meet trading KPIs, stay composed under pressure, and deliver strong results across a wide range of racing events.


Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who combines a passion for numbers with a calm, analytical and collaborative approach.

You don’t need to come from a wagering background so if you have a sharp analytical mindset, understand how financial markets operate or just love the trackside buzz and want to break into the industry, this could be your moment.


You might be a great fit if you:

  • Are naturally curious and strategic, and always looking for ways to improve or innovate
  • Have a strong interest in how markets operate or solid knowledge of the racing industry (or are keen to learn)
  • Can manage multiple tasks and make confident decisions in high-paced situations
  • Bring experience with analytical tools or trading platforms (or are keen to learn)
  • Communicate well and enjoy working with a wide variety of people
  • Value collaboration, inclusion, and creating a positive team environment


Why You’ll Love Working Here

Along with a competitive salary and generous performance-based bonus, here’s some of our other benefits:

  • 25 days annual leave (plus flexible working options)
  • $1050 work-from-home allowance
  • Access to outstanding career development programs, including expert-led internal training and external learning opportunities
  • Onsite concierge services, free meals, social events and access to the Sportsbet Salon
  • Generous parental leave and return-to-work benefits
  • Hack Days: Participate in our hack days, where creativity and collaboration lead to exciting new ideas and projects.


What’s the Green Tick Feeling?

Well, it’s different for everyone, yet unites us all. It’s the feeling you get when you succeed, no matter what success looks like to you. It could be developing your career, it could be working on an industry leading project, or it could be making it to school pick up in time. It's all the little and big things that make you feel like you’re thriving when working at Sportsbet. 

We’re an inclusive employer who welcomes you for who you are, as you are – so, if you require adjustments to the recruitment process, please let us know in your application. We also know flex means different things to different people, so let us know how we can support you to be your best. 

We review applications quickly, so apply soon! Check out our Life@Sportsbet Instagram, LinkedIn, and careers website for more about our inclusive culture.
