We're hiring a Head of Football Trading to lead the human intelligence layer behind a sophisticated, model-driven football betting strategy.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how expert football judgement and quantitative research combine to create a genuine edge in the betting markets.

You'll work alongside experienced quants and traders, owning the framework that determines when to trust the model, when to challenge it, and how to turn football insight into profitable trading decisions.

• Lead the subjective trading overlay for a model-led football betting operation.
• Analyse tactical, team news, market and contextual factors the models may not capture.
• Make evidence-based trading decisions to enhance performance and manage risk.
• Partner with quantitative researchers to continuously improve models and processes.
• Build and lead a high-performing football trading team as the function grows.

• Extensive experience trading football betting markets (Asian Handicap, Totals and 1X2).
• Strong understanding of probabilities, EV, CLV and value-based betting.
• Deep football knowledge across leagues, tactics, line-ups and player impact.
• A disciplined, evidence-led approach that balances data with expert judgement.
• Experience working in analytical betting, odds compiling, syndicates or model-led trading environments.
