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, behavior, and insight and 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 the 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?
As Senior Manager, Trading, you will be a people-first leader within Hard Rock Digital’s Pricing Origination team. Your focus will be on managing and developing a team of traders, setting high standards for performance, and ensuring the group consistently delivers accurate, competitive, and profitable markets. While our models and automation will produce the core prices, you will provide oversight, guidance, and judgment to ensure trading activity aligns with business objectives.

This role requires a strong manager who can balance operational oversight with mentorship. You will coach and grow individual traders, foster a culture of accountability and innovation, and provide clear direction in a fast-paced environment. In parallel, you will work with product, quant, and engineering teams to make sure our pricing models, risk frameworks, and trading tools evolve in step with the business.

You will be deeply immersed in the world of sports, acting as a subject matter expert on the trading dynamics of basketball, football, and baseball. Success in this role means more than execution — it requires identifying opportunities, understanding the evolution of game strategy, and acting upon emerging patterns to optimize our trading models. By combining a commercial mindset with collaboration and innovation, you will help shape a best-in-class sportsbook that anticipates customer needs and adapts to the ever-changing dynamics of sport.

The position is primarily remote but will involve regular in-person sessions for team collaboration, training, and strategic planning. These sessions are central to building alignment, developing talent, and ensuring the Pricing Origination team functions as a high-performance unit.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and mentor a team of traders across multiple sports, setting clear expectations for performance, development, and accountability

• Provide coaching and structured feedback to help traders grow their technical, analytical, and decision-making skills

• Oversee day-to-day trading operations, ensuring markets are competitive, accurate, and aligned with commercial goals

• Drive consistency and scalability in trading processes across the team, building best practices and frameworks

• Collaborate with product, quant, and engineering teams to enhance pricing models, risk frameworks, and trading tools

• Act as a senior voice in trading strategy discussions, providing insights to leadership and shaping long-term direction

• Ensure regulatory requirements and responsible gambling standards are met across all trading activity

• Participate in regular in-person sessions with your team for collaboration, training, and strategic planning

What are we looking for?

• Analytical and data-fluent, with the ability to understand, validate, and explain pricing model outputs

• Comfortable balancing strategic oversight with hands-on leadership in a fast-paced environment

• Willingness to travel regularly for in-person sessions with the team

• Strong leadership and mentoring skills, with ability to build culture and capability within a team

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working cross-functionally

• Commercial mindset with focus on accuracy, competitiveness, and long-term profitability

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

• Startup culture backed by a secure, global brand

• A vibrant, collaborative office-based environment designed to foster a high-energy, high-performance trading culture
