• Apply statistical and probability-based methods to build the most accurate prices possible, both pre-match and in-play.
• Monitor liabilities and move prices in response to changing circumstances and market conditions.
• Trade matches in-running, adjusting prices based on live action and managing online bet requests.
• Accurately build and settle markets, keeping errors, mistakes and omissions to a minimum.

Requirements

• A strong degree, ideally in a quantitative subject (e.g. maths, statistics, economics or data science).
• Strong data analysis skills and a solid grasp of probability and statistics, with the ability to turn data into accurate prices.
• A genuine passion for rugby, with in-depth knowledge of teams, players and their abilities.
• Highly numerate, with a sharp betting/trading brain and a genuine interest in betting markets.
• Able to work to a very high standard, staying calm and accurate in a pressured environment.
