About Us

At Sportsbet, we’re united behind our purpose to “Bring Excitement to Life” for our 2 million customers (and growing!). We do this by over-delivering through our commitment to fun, challenging the status quo and living our values. As part of the Flutter Group, we’re a global player, but in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin we’re a tight knit group of 1,300 teammates (of which over half are in our Tech and Data Science teams!).

We are a significant contributor to the Australian economy through racing and sporting codes and we are committed to having a positive impact in society by supporting our customers, our communities and our employees. Our commitment to responsible gambling is genuine and demonstrated through the wide range of responsible gambling initiatives and tools. 

In 2023, we were a recipient of LinkedIn’s Top 25 Companies for our focus on career development and awarded the Top 10 Workplaces for Women through Work180. Our commitment to making Sportsbet the best place to work is never-ending. 

Sportsbet is Australia’s leading online sports and racing wagering brand — and part of Flutter Entertainment, a FTSE100 and NYSE-listed global powerhouse. We operate in a fast-moving, highly regulated environment where great strategy really matters.

We’re looking for a Senior Strategy Manager to join us. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves solving complex problems, influencing senior leaders, and turning insight into action, all while working in a collaborative, supportive, and ambitious team.

The Opportunity

As a Strategy Manager, you’ll play a hands-on role in shaping Sportsbet’s future. You’ll work closely with our executive leaders, including the CEO, GMs and international Flutter teams, to frame the questions that matter most and deliver strategies that drive real outcomes.

You’ll balance big-picture thinking with practical delivery, bringing structure, clarity and momentum to some of the most important initiatives across the business.

What You’ll Be Doing

Shape the Strategy

  • Help develop Sportsbet’s long-term company strategy and annual OKRs
  • Bring fresh thinking and structured problem-solving to our biggest opportunities and challenges

Lead Meaningful Projects

  • Own the end-to-end delivery of priority strategic projects — from framing and analysis through to recommendations and execution
  • Combine quantitative analysis with customer, market and qualitative insights to surface what really matters
  • Translate complexity into clear, compelling narratives that influence decisions

Collaborate & Lead

  • Work across diverse, cross-functional teams (strategy, analytics, finance, tech, product and more)
  • Step into an emerging leadership role on projects, building alignment and momentum across the organisation
  • Partner closely with the Strategy & Research team to deliver work that’s focused, thoughtful and sustainable

About You

  • Tertiary qualification in business, finance, economics, STEM or similar (MBA is highly valued)
  • 3-5 years of experience in top-tier management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy and/or a fast based strategic leadership role in a high growth environment
  • Strong strategic and analytical capability, with confidence working across data, insights and financials to inform decisions
  • A collaborative influencer who builds trust with stakeholders and drives alignment across diverse teams, including senior leaders
  • An excellent communicator who can simplify complex problems, tell a compelling story, and turn insight into action
  • Curious, adaptable and commercially minded, with a genuine interest in tech, direct-to-consumer businesses and/or sports and wagering

The Perks

We work hard and play hard, so along with a competitive salary and generous performance-based bonus, here’s some of our other perks:

  • 25 days annual leave (that’s right, a whole extra week!)
  • Genuine flexible working policy with a $800 work from home office allowance
  • Weekly concierge service including free massages, manicure/nail appointments – all onsite
  • Development budget to send you to conferences, events, courses and other learning opportunities.
  • End of trip facilities with an onsite table tennis and pool table
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Program and a Circle In membership
  • Industry leading Parental Leave support program with 26 weeks paid leave for Primary Carers and no wait time. We also have a progressive return to work benefit for your first 6 months back: come back for 3 days, get paid for 4; come back for 4 days, get paid for 5.

We encourage you to apply as soon as possible as we review candidates within 2 weeks of advertising. Be sure to check out our Life@Sportsbet Instagram page, Sportsbet LinkedIn page as well our careers website for more information and insight into our culture.
