Who We Are & What We Do

We are a small team of researchers and software developers analysing and trading in sports markets. Our work is evidence-driven, supported by highly automated processes, and backed by a strong science and programming background.

We develop technical tools for in-house services and constantly explore new opportunities for trading. Our main office is based in the City of London, where we enjoy a collaborative environment. We are now looking to grow our Operations team.

We welcome candidates with experience in a trading environment (e.g. sports betting) as well as recent graduates who want to help keep the day-to-day business running smoothly.

What Trading Assistants Do

As part of the wider trading team, you will support researchers in running their strategies, monitoring trades, and taking corrective actions where needed.

Responsibilities include:

• Monitoring and operating trading platforms that run 24/7
• Spotting inconsistencies, errors, and unusual behaviour
• Developing insights into customer, counterparty, and market behaviour
• Liaising with traders, counterparties, and trading venues on an ad hoc basis
• Helping troubleshoot issues in the trade cycle
• Collaborating with developers and traders to improve platform functionality

This role involves dealing with the unique challenges of operational trading work, so we’re looking for someone with:

• BSc level education, ideally in a mathematical or scientific subject
• Good proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
• Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new applications
• Strong attention to detail – in this field, a single missed character can matter
• High degree of numeracy, including understanding probabilities
• Comfort working across different time zones and currencies
• Confidence making informed trading decisions
• Good organisational skills and a structured work approach
• Willingness to liaise with colleagues regularly to keep everyone updated
• SQL knowledge (advantageous but can be learned on the job)
• Strong interpersonal skills and a mature, responsible attitude
• Flexibility to work weekends (50% weekend work, with weekdays off in exchange)
• Initiative and self-motivation to pick up both existing and new projects

What We Offer

• Exposure to the latest technology and software
• A friendly, non-corporate environment with a flat hierarchy
• Work focused on ideas and solutions, free from unnecessary bureaucracy
• Benefits such as gym membership, pension scheme, private health insurance, team outings, daily fruit/snacks, and more
• A healthy work-life balance, occasional pizza lunches, and the odd office cake
