What are we building? Hard Rock Digital is a team focused on becoming the best online sportsbook, casino, and social gaming company in the world. We're building a team that resonates passion for learning, operating, and building new products and technologies for millions of consumers. We care about each customer interaction, experience, behaviour, and insight, and we strive to ensure we're always acting authentically. Rooted in the kindred spirits of Hard Rock and the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the new Hard Rock Digital taps a brand known the world over as a leader in gaming, entertainment, and hospitality. We're taking that foundation of success and bringing it to the digital space, ready to join us? What's the position? We are seeking a Real-Time Analyst (RTA) to join our dynamic team, reporting into the RTA Manager and RTA Team Lead. The Real-Time Analyst (RTA) team plays a pivotal role in sportsbook success — monitoring betting activity, identifying pricing inefficiencies, and mitigating risk to protect margin and grow profitability. As the first line of defence, the team takes immediate, real-time action to prevent margin leaks, detect suspicious betting activity, correct pricing inefficiencies that impact performance, and flag any issues with incoming feeds. The team works hand-in-hand with Trading, Player Optimisation, and Senior Management to drive real-time efficiency, sharpen market competitiveness, and deliver data-driven risk management across the sportsbook. What are we looking for? We're looking for enthusiastic sports people with experience working in a sportsbook or trading room, and a genuine passion for sport.

You should be comfortable making data-led decisions and be fully tuned in to sporting events across the calendar. Given the 24/7 nature of global sport, you'll be required to work weekends and unsocial hours as needed. Key Responsibilities Trading Responsibilities Identify and escalate sportsbook margin leaks in real time, including incorrectly correlated Same Game Parlays (SGPs), past-posting issues, and pricing discrepancies.
