Job description

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. The successful candidate will thrive in a fast-paced environment, with a knack for quickly spotting problem areas and taking ownership of resolving issues at the earliest opportunity.

Enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are essential. You'll need a sharp eye for detail - as the job title suggests, this is real time, and every second matters. 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 escape sportsbook margin leaks in real time, including incorrectly correlated Same Game Parlays (SGPs), past-posting issues, and pricing discrepancies.




• Analyse player betting patterns and risk exposure using sportsbook analytics tools.




• Collaborate with the Player Optimisation team to balance risk management with customer segmentation, supporting sustainable sportsbook growth.




• Apply trading expertise to market analysis and work with senior members of the RTA team to develop new trading strategies.




• Maintain high-quality, accurate bet notation and stay current on betting angles and market trends across multiple sports.

Analytical & Technical Skills

• Strong analytical mindset with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to make data-driven risk assessments.




• Proficiency with analytics and visualisation tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Amplitude is a strong plus.

Teamwork & Communication

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams in a fast-paced environment.




• Demonstrated ability to contribute to team success and uphold high professional standards.

What’s in it for you?

We offer our employees more than just competitive compensation. Our team benefits include:

• Competitive pay and benefits




• Flexible vacation allowance




• A hybrid / remote working environment




• Startup culture backed by a secure, global brand
