Pricing is the heartbeat of wagering. Lead the data science team that sets sharper prices across sport and racing, powering real‐time trading decisions that directly shape margin and customer experience. Grow a high‐performing team in a collaborative, high‐trust culture that values curiosity, impact and fun.
How You'll Be a Part Of The Action
* Lead development of probabilistic pricing models for sport and racing markets — from fixed‐odds and exotic pricing to in‐play and derivative markets.
* Design and improve models that generate accurate and competitive prices across thoroughbred, harness, greyhound and multi‐sport events.
* Build models that account for market dynamics, form, conditions, venue and real‐time signals to produce prices that balance competitiveness with margin.
* Partner with traders to develop automated pricing and risk frameworks that reduce manual intervention and improve speed to market.
* Create model monitoring and feedback loops — tracking price accuracy, overrounds, market movement and settlement outcomes to continuously improve model performance.
* Shape and grow a high‐performing data science team with clear standards, strong coaching and a focus on delivery.
* Champion ethical, purpose‐led use of data to enhance customer outcomes and meet regulatory obligations.
What You'll Need To Succeed
* Deep experience in wagering, sports betting or racing pricing — you understand how odds are formed, how markets move, and where model‐driven pricing creates edge.
* Proven track record building probabilistic models for event outcomes — win/place, head‐to‐head, line, total, multi‐leg and in‐play markets.
* Experience working with racing form data, ratings, speed maps, track/weather conditions and translating these into pricing inputs.
* Understanding of overround management, liability and risk exposure and how pricing models interact with trading decisions.
* Familiarity with real‐time data feeds and low‐latency environments — pricing models that need to perform under event‐time pressure, not just in batch.
* Proven ability to lead, coach and grow data scientists and modellers.
* Strong programming capability in Python and SQL, with experience in modern ML frameworks and cloud platforms (Databricks, AWS, MLflow or similar).
* Ability to translate complex analysis into clear stories and decisions for traders, product teams and senior leaders.
* Proven capability to design model governance, documentation and testing disciplines.
What Will Set You Apart
* Experience with Australian racing and/or sport wagering markets specifically.
* Background in Bayesian modelling, simulation or stochastic methods applied to pricing.
* Exposure to reinforcement learning or dynamic pricing optimisation for in‐play or live markets.
* Understanding of customer‐level pricing dynamics — how price sensitivity, segmentation and market positioning interact with margin targets.
* Experience operating within a licensed, regulated wagering environment and understanding of responsible gambling obligations.
What's In It For You
* Time for moments that matter – from birthdays to cultural leave, flexible public holidays, and 5 days bonus leave.
* 18 weeks paid parental leave for every new parent, no matter your role.
* Ticketing to some of the country's biggest racing and sports events.
* Access to our leading wellbeing app and programs to help you be your best.
* A range of corporate discounts and special offers with leading retailers.
* A diverse and inclusive culture where everyone belongs.
