BettingJobs is working with a long-established UK sportsbook to recruit a Junior Rugby Trader for its well-established Rugby Desk. This is a great opportunity for a sharp, numerate rugby enthusiast to build a trading career with mentorship from an experienced team.
The Junior Rugby Trader will price and trade rugby matches across the operator's markets, both pre-match and in-play, with support and coaching to sharpen your skills. The role follows a shift pattern dictated by the rugby calendar. It suits someone with a strong quantitative background, a genuine passion for rugby, and a sharp betting brain who stays calm and accurate under pressure.
