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.

 

About The Role

Does the thought of using your analytical prowess to predict the unpredictable make your heart race? As a Sport Trader you will be at the intersection of data and instinct, turning numbers and insights into winning strategies. 

Reporting to the Operational Team Lead, you will play a key role managing our Combat Sports Product (UFC & Boxing) across a global landscape. You will work as part of a diverse, goal orientated and collaborative team who deliver strong operational excellence. 

There is a requirement for weekend work (shifts will often fall between Fri-Sun) given the nature of when the Sport occurs.

 

Responsibilities include:  

  • Analyse sports odds, trends and patterns to identify the best wagering opportunities. 
  • Monitor live games and adjust wagers in real-time based on in-game developments. 
  • Keep up to date with the latest news, player stats, customer behaviours and industry prices to give you an edge. 
  • Collaborate with our team of global sport enthusiasts and data stars to devise creative strategies to inform decision-making. 

 

 

About You

  • Attention to detail: you’re the type of person who notices when the decimal point is off by 0.001, you know the small stuff is the big stuff. Ability to stay organised and efficient, managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Critical thinker: whether its analysing data or untangling a tricky situation, you always find the logic behind the madness. No mystery is too big when you’re on the case! Display resilience and initiative, while acting with a high level of integrity
  • Quick thinker and Risk Taker (with a plan): you’re the person who makes decisions in the blink of an eye and backs them up with data. You love crunching numbers and identifying patterns to take informed risks. 
  • Learning and growth mindset:  whether it’s mastering a new software tool or picking up a few tricks from a colleague, you’re always ready to add another skill to your toolkit. 
  • Organised and focused: you’ve got to-do lists for your to-do lists and find joy in crossing off every item. 

Nice to Have – Combat Sports obsessed: (but we can teach you!). 

 

The Perks

We work hard and play hard, so along with a competitive salary and generous performance-based bonus, we will also provide you with:

  • Five weeks annual leave (a whole extra week of holidays!)
  • Weekly concierge service including free massages, manicure/nail appointments – all onsite!
  • Daily fresh fruit, free breakfast, sparkling water and Kombucha on tap in the office (did we mention we have a Thursday afternoon social hour?).
  • Tailored career development programs with a yearly tools down day to focus on goals.
  • End of trip facilities with an onsite table tennis and pool table.
  • Access to our employee assistance program and a Circle In membership
  • We’re proud of our industry leading Parental Leave support program with 26 weeks paid leave for Primary Carers with no waiting time and two weeks of paid leave for Secondary Carers followed by six weeks unpaid leave. We also have a progressive return to work benefits for your first six months back: come back for three days, get paid for four; come back for four days, get paid for five.
  • Get the “Green Tick Feeling” - the feeling you get when you Thrive working at Sportsbet!
