  • Collaborate across the board – partner with stakeholders across the business, from marketing to product, to bring big initiatives to life.

About you

  • Proven trading experience (ideally across NBA, NBL, and other US codes).
  • Strong problem solving skills – you’re passionate about finding the right solution.
  • A sharp eye for detail – nothing slips past you.
  • Exceptional communication – clear, concise, and confident with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Strong leadership capability and experience developing trading talent.
  • Familiarity with wagering products, systems, and betting features.
  • Analytical skills and curiosity to explore new tools and tech.
  • A track record of improving processes and sharing knowledge to lift team performance.
