Spanish Trading Support Executive

Title: Spanish Trading Support Executive

Salary: €22,000

Location: Madrid - Spain

Languages: English, Spanish

Posted: 19th Mar 2010

Under the ‘Sportium brand’, Ladbrokes operate over 80 betting locations throughout the Madrid region. Some of these are dedicated betting shops, but the majority are ‘corners’, where we have a betting counter inside a bar or slot arcade. At the heart of the operation is a small Trading team that plays a vital role in the development of the business. The main duties of the Trading Support Executive will include:

• Managing liabilities across the shop estate

• Responding to trading and odds-related queries from shop managers and supervisors

• Researching the local market to ensure that we maintain our competitive edge

• Creating distinct trading principles for our high-staking customers

• Producing performance reports for senior colleagues

The successful candidate will be a fluent speaker of both English and Spanish, with some experience of working in the betting industry. Ideally, this will have been in a retail environment as our Spanish business is entirely shop-based, but relevant experience in telephone betting or online gaming will be considered. Although odds compilation skills are not required, a general understanding of odds is essential, along with a keen analytical eye.

A passion for sport is imperative; in particular events that are popular with Spanish customers, such as La Liga, Champions League football, Euroleague basketball and tennis. Our shops are open from 9am until after midnight seven days a week, so a flexible approach is required. You will work five days a week (35 hours), often including weekends, bank holidays and evenings.

If you are interested in a career in an exciting sports betting environment with plenty of opportunity to progress, please apply now.
