The successful applicant preferably has experience of working within the betting industry but should have sound knowledge of the fundamentals of betting. They must also possess a good overall knowledge of popular sports, with a particular focus on golf, as well as a preferred knowledge of major sports such as football (soccer), tennis, basketball and/or other major US sports.

• Liaise with our various internal trading departments to ensure all relevant aspects of the sporting event and betting market are explained.
• Continual assessment and review of the relevant betting markets (i.e. stake limits, the extent of bookmaker coverage and new market types).

Required Skills

• Ideally an undergraduate, with an excellent standard of written English.
• In-depth knowledge and understanding of mainstream sports betting.
• A general understanding of how betting markets work would be a prerequisite, whilst detailed knowledge of the global betting landscape (for instance, Asian/off-shore markets) would be strongly desirable.
• Strong analytical skills, with competence in maths.
• Ability to prioritise work, operate in a proactive manner and remain flexible in a dynamic environment.
• Possess a good eye for detail to ensure their work meets a professional standard.
