You will become part of a dynamic and highly motivated team in our Malta office, responsible for trading odds for both pre-match and in-play markets.

While your primary focus will be on Cricket, from the fast-paced action of the IPL and T20 leagues to the strategic battles of Test matches, you will also have responsibilities supporting our wider Sportsbook products.

• Market Monitoring: Monitoring global market trends and competitor activity.
• Problem Solving: Effective error reporting and quick resolution of settlement queries.
• Team Support: Assisting the wider Sportsbook team with other sports as required.
• Product Growth: Providing feedback and input to improve the cricket product and assisting with testing new providers.
• Client Risk Analysis (CRA): Monitor incoming bets in real-time to identify sharp customers, arbitrage betting, and suspicious activity.

• Excellent computer proficiency, particularly in Microsoft Excel
• Comfortable working under pressure and making swift decisions
• Strong communication, organization, and multitasking abilities
• Fluent in English, both spoken and written
• A positive, team-oriented attitude and a high level of self-motivation
• Flexibility to work during evenings, nights, weekends, and public holidays
• Based in Malta or willing to relocate (relocation support provided)
