About Us

At Sportsbet, we’re united behind our purpose to Bring Excitement to Life for over 2.4 million customers. We do this by delivering fun, challenging the status quo, and living our values. As part of the global Flutter Group, we’re a major player internationally—but in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin, we’re a tight‑knit team of 1,300+ teammates (with over half in Tech & Data Science).

Our commitment to responsible gambling is genuine and demonstrated through the wide range of responsible gambling initiatives and tools. We’re proud to be the leaders in responsible gambling in our industry, not just locally, but globally.

We are one of the top workplaces for Women through WORK180. WORK180 is a leading platform that independently assesses employers on policies, benefits and practices that support women and underrepresented groups at work. We remain committed to making Sportsbet the best place to work and encourage you to explore our employer profile on the WORK180 website to learn more about what we offer.

About The Role

As our Senior Business Analyst, you’ll help shape how ideas move from exploration through to delivery across the MarTech Platforms team. You’ll bring people and perspectives together, create clarity when the path forward isn’t obvious, and help the team focus on work that delivers meaningful value. You’ll also support other Business Analysts and help build consistent, high-quality Business Analysis practices.

Responsibilities Include

• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders, setting clear expectations and working together to align priorities, risks and dependencies.
• Lead explorations across multiple initiatives, helping teams understand problems, opportunities and requirements before identifying a way forward.
• Own and maintain the initiative backlog, creating visibility and ensuring prioritised work is ready when delivery teams need it.
• Support and mentor Delivery Business Analysts, sharing knowledge and helping people develop their skills and confidence.
• Lead and evolve Business Analysis practices, taking accountability for quality and standards while encouraging practical and inclusive ways of working.

About You

While we are big on development and offer on the job training, we want to set you up for success.

What You Will Bring:

• Business Analysis experience, with the ability to understand products and requirements and translate ideas into achievable outcomes.
• Clear and adaptable communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to listen, influence and manage expectations across different stakeholder groups.
• Strong organisation and prioritisation skills, with experience balancing multiple initiatives and maintaining a clear backlog of work.
• Strategic and solution-focused thinking, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, solve problems and create useful structure.
• Experience with Kanban or other flow-based ways of working and an understanding of Agile delivery practices. Familiarity with JIRA can be useful but isn’t essential.

The Perks

We work hard and play hard, so along with a competitive salary and generous performance-based bonus for permanent staff members, here’s some of our other perks:

• 25 days annual leave (that’s right, an additional week’s leave!)
• Hybrid working policy (Monday and Friday from home) and a $1,050 home office allowance for new starters.
• Industry leading Parental Leave support program with 26 weeks paid leave for Primary Carers and no wait time. We also have a progressive return to work benefit for your first 6 months back: come back for 3 days, get paid for 4; come back for 4 days, get paid for 5.
• Hack Days - where your creativity and collaborative ideas lead to exciting new ideas and projects for our customers.
• Access to outstanding career development programs, including expert-led internal training and external learning opportunities (staff allowance for personal development)
• Weekly concierge service including free massages and nail appointments – all onsite in our Melbourne office!
• Free breakfast, daily fresh fruit and weekly rotating socials, from Thursday office drinks to fun team events
