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

If you’re energised by the thrill of a title fight or find yourself breaking down the strategy behind the perfect takedown, this could be the role for you. We’re on the lookout for a Combat Sports Trader to join the team behind one of Sportsbet’s most exciting and fast-evolving portfolios.

From global UFC cards to international boxing events and local fight nights, you’ll be at the heart of it all, analysing live markets, applying real-time insights, and helping to shape the future of our global combat sports offering.

You’ll join a supportive, high-performing team that values collaboration, innovation, and inclusion. With expert training, meaningful development opportunities, and the chance to work across Flutter’s global brands, now’s the perfect time to get involved.

What You’ll Do

  • Trade Major Events: Help manage live and pre-match markets across boxing and MMA, using data and sharp thinking to keep our pricing accurate, competitive and engaging.
  • Drive Product Innovation: Contribute to the growth of our combat sports product by working with our Team Lead and global stakeholders on strategies, tools, and models.
  • Manage Risk in Real Time: Collaborate with risk partners to manage liability positions, keeping things efficient and sustainable.
  • Work Across Time Zones: Be part of a global, always-on team. Share knowledge and insights with peers in Melbourne, Dublin and beyond.
  • Focus on Impact: Deliver against key KPIs, track performance, and help improve the way we trade and operate every day.

Who we’re looking for

You don’t need betting experience, but you do need a curious mindset, strong analytical thinking, and a passion for learning. Whether you’re a combat sports enthusiast, data lover, or both, we want to hear from you.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Have a genuine interest in combat sports (like MMA or boxing) or want to learn more about the space
  • Enjoy fast-paced environments where smart decisions make a big impact
  • Are analytical and detail-oriented, with a natural drive to improve
  • Have experience with trading systems or data tools (or a strong desire to learn)
  • Are a clear communicator who enjoys collaborating across teams
  • Embrace learning, feedback and different perspectives
  • Value being part of a diverse, respectful, and inclusive team culture

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.
