THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it

FanDuel is looking for an entry-level Hockey Sports Trader to join our Trading Team, helping to shape the odds and betting markets that customers engage with. We’re looking for someone with a passion for hockey and the math skills to match — we’ll provide the training for everything else.

Whether you have a numbers background, have studied analytics, worked in sports, or are just obsessed with hockey, we’d love to support your growth into a trading role. No prior trading or gambling experience is required.

This is a hybrid position with office presence required in our downtown Toronto office, Canada. In this role, expect to be predominantly in-office for hands-on training and core Trading tasks. The office contains an open plan space with a hot-desk environment. Each station has multiple monitors and there are TVs and constant noise in the office. You’ll also work regular late shifts (typically 2–10PM ET), which will include assisting the team with live basketball betting alongside your hockey responsibilities. This role requires weekend work.

In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.


THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

As a Hockey Sports Trader, you’ll start by learning the core skills that power our odds and markets. You’ll receive hands-on training in how sports betting works, how we use models and data to manage prices, and how we monitor news and customer behavior to keep our pricing sharp.

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Learning to set and manage prices on hockey games, player stats, and futures markets — from pre-game to live in-play odds — using our in-house tools and models.
  • Monitoring real-time hockey news, stats, and industry pricing to help guide trading decisions.
  • Trading live hockey games in real time; making quick adjustments to pricing based on game flow, key events, and customer behavior.
  • Collaborating with other Traders and working cross-functionally with Risk, Product, Marketing, and Compliance teams in a cooperative and inclusive environment.
  • Helping brainstorm new bet types or ways to improve the customer experience, with consideration for how fans engage with the game.

You’ll work alongside experienced Traders who will guide your development. Over time, you’ll gain the confidence and expertise to price markets independently, manage risk, and shape the sports betting experience for our customers.


THE STATS
What we're looking for in our next teammate

  • A deep passion for hockey — especially the NHL, but other leagues is a plus.
  • General knowledge of other sports, ideally NBA for live market management, and MLB or WNBA for trading during the NHL offseason.
  • A bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience. Recent or soon-to-be graduates are encouraged to apply.
  • Strong comfort with numbers, odds and probability, and quick mental math skills
  • It’s important to understand how odds relate to probability (%), and how betting markets work in that sense. You do not have to bet yourself.
  • Proficiency with Excel. Experience with SQL, Python, or R is a bonus, but not required.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, plus the curiosity to research and stay ahead of hockey news and trends.
  • Comfortable making decisions under pressure, while staying responsive to rapidly changing information
  • Ability to work outside typical business hours, including nights and weekends. Traders work roughly 50-70 weekend shifts per year (only ever 5 days per week)
  • Must be eligible to work in Ontario, Canada
