Hybrid working: 4 days in the office per week
The Role
The mission of Sportsbook Insights is to simply innovate and add value wherever possible.
Our Insights Analysts are embedded within operational teams. This shifts the onus away from simply building dashboards to delivering high quality actionable insights and measuring success by bottom-line value added. This includes, but is not limited to, model creation, automating existing processes, developing new work strategies, and building the POC’s for the next big leap forward.
This Insights role will have a Trading focus but may be expected to pick up tasks from other teams under the Sportsbook Insights remit including Commercial, Product and Sports Ops.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a team empowered to make change in a growing data driven business. The ideal candidate will thrive on finding creative solutions to increasingly complex analytical and business problems with a desire to develop into a self-driven leader in the future.
At LiveScore Group, we’re the proud home of three of the most exciting brands in the sports and gaming world: LiveScore, LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet. A fully owned and operated ecosystem that converges the two worlds of sports media and sports betting. We’re proud of the high ratings for our commitment to excellence and fueling fan’s passion for sport driving us to the top.
We don’t just lead; we innovate. Our cutting-edge products and immersive experiences set the standard, but it’s our people who truly make the difference. Every day, our team embody our values: adaptability, teamwork, a fan-driven approach, and an ever-curious mindset that fuels our ambition.
As we scale and continue to create a culture that allows all employees to thrive, we know we need the most talented people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives and skills. If you’re good at what you do, come and join us. The more inclusive we are, the more amazing experiences we can create for our users.
We know that job descriptions can sometimes seem daunting and you might not feel you tick every box. But, if you’re passionate about the role and have relevant experience, we want to hear from you!
