Head of Quantitative Trading (Remote)

Remote | International B2B Sportsbook | Senior Leadership Role

We are working with a fast-growing B2B sportsbook technology company powering operators across Europe and Latin America.

This is a high-impact senior leadership role with the opportunity to fundamentally transform how the sportsbook prices markets and manages risk: moving towards highly automated, model-driven trading.

You will lead the quantitative function and work closely with the VP R&D Trading and Chief Trading Officer to build and productionise best-in-class pricing and risk models.

What you will own

• Build and lead the Quantitative Trading team, covering pre-match and in-play pricing, risk/liability models and trading automation

• Own the models behind key products including Bet Builder, same-game pricing, Cash Out, personalisation and market availability

• Define and execute the roadmap for automating sports, markets and trading processes

• Take models from research into live production, ensuring quality, performance and scalability

• Set and monitor model performance across margin, hold, price accuracy and market availability

• Work closely with R&D Trading, Engineering and AI teams to productionise models and develop the underlying data platform

• Help redefine the role of the trader around model supervision and exception management

What success looks like

Within the first 12 months, you will be expected to deliver significant progress towards:

• Autonomous in-play football pricing across an initial market set

• Automated risk and liability limits in production, with human override and full auditability

• A clear roadmap for expanding automation across additional sports and markets

• Measurably stronger Bet Builder and Cash Out pricing

• A trading operating model redesigned around automation

What we are looking for

• Proven experience building or running automated pricing and risk models at scale

• Strong quantitative background in statistics, machine learning, stochastic modelling or similar

• Hands-on experience taking models from research into live production

• Sportsbook or HFT experience strongly preferred

• Highly analytical and rigorous, with a strong focus on measurement and model performance

• AI-first approach to modelling, research and development

• Able to work effectively with both traders and engineers

Fully remote, with occasional time spent with the trading team in Sofia.

This is a genuine senior leadership opportunity with significant ownership and the chance to shape the future of an international sportsbook's trading operation.
