On behalf of our client who is a growing iGaming company that is operating in the emerging markets, we are looking for a Senior Sportsbook Trader who is going to be responsible for compiling and maintaining pre-match and in-play odds across assigned sports, managing market exposure, and ensuring sportsbook remains competitive and correctly priced. This is a mid-senior level role within a small, close-knit trading team, with direct ownership of selected sports and active involvement in both pre-match preparation and live risk management.

Key Responsibilities
 

Odds Compilation & Pricing

  •  Compile and update pre-match odds for assigned sports using internal systems and third-party market
    data
  • Review and adjust feed-based odds where automated pricing is insufficient — niche markets,
    low-liquidity fixtures, or events not covered by data providers
  • Conduct regular competitor pricing checks to ensure accuracy and market competitiveness
    In-Play Trading
  • Monitor live events in real time; update in-play odds, suspend and reopen markets, and respond
    promptly to key match incidents
  • Manage margin during promotional events such as enhanced odds and price boosts
  • Ensure markets perform correctly during high-volume periods

Risk & Liability Management

  • Track bet flow and liability exposure across pre-match and live markets
  • Set and adjust customer betting limits based on profiling and observed betting behaviour
  • Identify sharp or value bettors and apply appropriate flags or restrictions
  • Monitor accumulator and early cashout exposure
  • Escalate unusual activity, limit breaches, or significant liability positions to senior traders or the risk team
     

Market Operations & Settlement

  • Ensure markets are correctly displayed on the website; flag and resolve discrepancies promptly
  • Manage market settlement — verify results, resolve disputed settlements, and process voids accurately
    and on time
  • Create and configure market templates in the trading platform for new competitions or sports


Analysis & Reporting

  • Produce daily and weekly P&L; summaries by sport and market type
  • Analyse margin leakage — identify where the book is losing edge and recommend corrective action
  • Review post-event betting patterns to inform and improve future pricing decisions
  • Maintain accurate records using Excel or Google Sheets
     

Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Work with the risk, operations, and product teams on trading limits, promotional pricing, and sportsbook
    improvements
  •  Brief the CRM and marketing teams on key upcoming events suitable for promotions
  • Provide input on which sports and leagues to add or remove, based on volume and profitability data
  • Support the product team with testing of new sportsbook features before release

     

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Demonstrable knowledge of common sports betting markets: 1X2, Asian handicap, totals, over/under,
    and player/team specials
  • Strong numeracy; able to convert odds to implied probabilities and assess margin quickly and accurately
  • Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets — exposure tracking, VLOOKUP, basic modelling
  • Ability to work under time pressure and make clear, accurate decisions during live events
  • High attention to detail with a structured, methodical approach
  • Good written and spoken English
     

Bonus Skills

  • Previous experience in a sportsbook trading or odds compiling role
  • Experience with live sports data feed platforms (e.g. Betradar, BetConstruct, Sportradar)
  • Strong knowledge of football; familiarity with other major sports an advantage
  • French language skills are a strong advantage focus on emerging markets
     

Working Conditions & What's Offered

  • Office-based in Limassol, Cyprus
  • Rotational shift pattern including evenings and weekends in line with the sporting calendar
  • Relocation support to Limassol
  • Structured onboarding and training across tools including Betradar & internal trading systems
  • A high-ownership role with direct impact on trading decisions from day one
