THE POSITION:
Our roster has an opening with your name on it

Sports Traders at FanDuel are the people behind the odds that our customers bet on. We utilize 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. We don’t expect anyone to walk in the door and know everything at the start, so we take our training seriously and make sure that the successful candidate is well supported, but you can’t get the role if you don’t throw your hat in the ring!

We are looking for people who are passionate and knowledgeable about Football (either NCAAF or NFL... or both!) and to put it simply, are good with numbers. If you have a high attention to detail, are calm under pressure and LOVE football then we can teach you the rest.

Being able to work in a team, stay organized and keeping our customers front of mind are also valuable skills to have.

This role is a hybrid position that involves an office presence as well as the ability to work from home. At the start of your role, we require most days to be in the office to help with training. Our office is located in Jersey City, next to the Newport PATH and just across from Manhattan.

THE GAME PLAN:
Everyone on our team has a part to play

• In time, you will be able to compile your own odds on a range of different markets using statistics and trends. For example, helping to determine the price for each player to score the first touchdown.
• You will monitor our prices and make moves where necessary, taking into consideration things like player news, customer behavior, industry prices, etc.
• You will 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.
• 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.
• Our customers are the most important thing to us, so coming up with new markets for them to bet on, settling their bets in a timely manner and all aspects of their experience are going to be an important part of this role for you. An example of a new market that traders recently came up with was First Player to Catch a Pass (in the game).
• Crunch numbers to identify trends and then make changes off the back of your findings.

THE STATS:
What we're looking for in our next teammate

• In-depth knowledge of NCAAF or NFL (or both), knowledge and interest in other sports are always helpful too.
• Ability to do basic and mental math problems under time pressure.
• Able to attend the Jersey City office multiple times a week.
• It’s important to understand how odds relate to probability (%), and how betting markets work in that sense. But you do not have to bet yourself.
• Strong written, verbal communication and research skills are a must.
• Bachelor’s degree is required, feel free to apply if graduating soon.
• Experience with Excel essential; knowledge of SQL, R or Python is helpful not a necessity.

• Free schedule to work outside of normal business hours including weekends (especially during football season) and the very occasional late shift (2-10pm)
• The ability to achieve a DGE license.
• Happy to watch and analyze football every day!
