What makes Sportsbet so unique?
We rarely work with an organisation that can honestly (and with an appropriate level of sarcasm) describe their culture, values and why someone would want to jump ship and join them.
Sportsbet is definitely unique in the market.
With an outstanding culture and actively engaged staff, teams work in a relaxed, open floor and collaborative environment to deliver ground breaking digital technologies to solve complex customer problems. The industry is exciting and fast-paced with Sportsbet recognised and respected as a sophisticated digital (e-commerce) business with relationships across a diverse range of media, tech, sporting, racing and regulators.
Sportsbet put the customer first and last and genuinely lives and breathes the values of Integrity, Collaboration, Relentless Will to Win, Agility and Low Ego.
About the role:
Reporting to the General Counsel, you will provide advice which "enables" the business strategy, while ensuring you mitigate and manage risks. Your work mix will span across general commercial, M&A, IP, dispute resolution, regulatory, media, technology, sporting integrity and other business functions. You will be involved with regular and interesting project work involving cross-functional teams and frequent opportunities to work with high calibre external counsel.
Who are Sportsbet looking for?
An ambitious and entrepreneurial legal expert would fit right in!
Pushing the boundaries is in Sportsbet’s DNA, so you need to have a mind for digital & e-commerce and Top Tier training. Plus proven expertise across either Corporate, M&A, Regulatory, Marketing, IP or Dispute Resolution. Sportsbet want someone commercially astute with 8+ yrs PQE, who can manage relationships across the business, with an interest in and ability to understand the legal and regulatory framework relevant to the wagering sector and proven experience in delivering legal expertise to a broad client base.
The other stuff (usually in the fine print):
Sportsbet is the Australian online market leader in the wagering sector, and wholly owned by FTSE 100 listed Paddy Power Betfair Group. The Group has subsidiaries across Europe, the UK and Ireland, and the United States with exciting opportunities on the horizon as several US states embark on legalising online wagering. Over 600 staff in the Melbourne office working across Commercial, Marketing, Product, IT, Risk & Trade and Finance, so there is never a dull moment.
More perks:
- Free brekky, discounted gym memberships, loads of event tickets
- Tailored career development programs, as well as a commitment to developing Thought Leader and Specialist Talent programs
- Best in class Parental Leave program with six months paid leave for Primary Carer
- 5 weeks annual leave p.a
