Junior Rugby Trader - Sports Data Consultancy

If you love all kinds of sport, specifically rugby, it’s unlikely there’s a better job out there for you than this.
Yes, you’ll have to work early, late and night shifts, but when you’re watching the sport you love and analysing events to price up betting markets, is it really work?
The aim of the trading team that you’ll be joining will be to provide the best prices for all markets traded here. Whether it’s sportsbook or spread betting you’ll be part of the team analysing the markets, optimising bet values and monitoring liabilities to make sure you’re not being outpriced by competitors or bettors with high-quality knowledge.
You’ll be joining as a Junior Trader, so you can expect a lot of help from more experienced traders who can mentor you and give you pointers wherever you need them. You won’t be thrown in the deep end and whilst initially you may be more focused on working with the customer services team to help solve queries, or settle markets and book telephone bets, you’ll learn quickly and realise that you’ll need to stay calm under pressure and have a great eye for detail.
All of the work in this team is on rugby markets across the world, day in day out, so you’ll have to love the sport.
On top of loving rugby and having deep knowledge in it, you’ll need to have a strong quantitative background with the ability to calculate bets quickly. Therefore, an interest in betting markets will be required too. If you’re reading this and wondering if you’re right, it’s most likely you’re a recent graduate, or just about to graduate in a quantitative subject and you’re looking for your first job.
You’ll be given a fantastic chance to learn all about sports betting and trading and you’ll be able to progress through the team and the business over time. The starting salary will be competitive and you will receive bonuses based on performance of both your trading and that of the business. Other benefits include a contributory pension scheme, private medical insurance, various discounts, and plenty of social events.
