About us!
Sportsbet's purpose is to bring excitement to life for its customers. We do this by over-delivering on excitement through serious fun, disrupting the status quo, and living our values. We’re a flexible, progressive, open-minded, and inclusive employer with over 7,000 cool, clever and curious people around the world. As part of the Flutter Group, we’re a global player, but in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin we’re tight knit, with 1,000 of us bringing excitement to life every day.

From modelling sports to personalising experiences, delivering advantage through cutting edge predictive models is key to Sportsbet’s current and future success in a highly competitive market. We work with business and technology stakeholders to build new data products, and seek out processes that are ripe for disruption.
We are investing in our MLOps framework, ML engineering support, and global data and Risk & Trading platforms. We work at massive scale - when we build a pricing model, it powers the entire Flutter group - and we are levelling up our data and tech footprints to continue to stay ahead of the pack. With over 2 million active customers in Australia (over 7m globally), and 200 price updates per second, there is ample opportunity for our data scientists to have an impact.
Our Risk & Pricing Data Science, or Quants, team builds models that power pricing of a range of exciting sports and racing betting products, as well as models and tools that help the business understand and reduce risk. Within the broader data science team, we work closely with teams that apply data science to areas such as safer gambling, marketing, customer lifecycle, and personalisation.
About the role
The team you will lead is focussed on applying data science and other quantitative techniques to help Sportsbet offer innovative betting products to our large customer base(>2m). As the pioneers of Same Game Multi, Sportsbet has a proud history of being a global trendsetter in this space – this role has been created to help ensure we maintain that primacy.
