**About Us**

FanDuel is an innovative sports-tech entertainment company that is changing the way consumers engage with their favorite sports, teams, and leagues. We are the premier gaming destination in the United States with a growing presence here in Australia. The company is based in New York but has offices in Melbourne (alongside our Sportsbet counterparts), California and New Jersey.

FanDuel is a subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment, the world's largest sports betting and gaming operator with a portfolio of globally recognized brands and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: FLUT).

**The Role**

We’re dedicated to building a winning team and we pride ourselves on being able to make every moment mean more, especially when it comes to your career. So, what does “winning” look like at FanDuel?

Sports Traders at FanDuel are the people behind the odds that our customers bet on. We utilise stats, in-house models, industry news, and our opinions to help formulate what we believe are the most accurate odds, and then manage those odds throughout their lifecycle. This includes moving prices when breaking news hits or using our in-house models to move prices live during games if players get injured. If you have a creative mind that will help, as identifying new and exciting opportunities to improve our already best-in-class experience for our customers will be a major part in this role.

Key responsibilities include:

- In time, you will be able to compile your own odds on a range of different markets using statistics and trends. For example, helping decide the price for certain players to hit 25+ points or for the Boston Celtics to go back to back.
- You will monitor our prices and make moves where necessary, taking into consideration things like player news, customer behavior, industry prices, etc.
- Learn how to use our sports models to fluctuate our odds throughout the game depending on what is happening in that game at the time.
- Crunch numbers to identify player tradesman trends post-event which will allow us to implement the best practices going forward.
- Collaborate with various teams around the business to manage things like our liabilities, our onsite display and ensuring we remain compliant across our different jurisdictions.

The FanDuel team is based in Melbourne and we adopt a flexible 5 day working week policy based on customer needs to ensure a great work-life balance for our staff. There is a requirement for some weekend work, but shifts will generally fall between 8am - 6pm allowing you to still have your nights
