At Sportsbet, we don’t just build models—we use data science to deliver business-defining outcomes, at scale, in real time. If you're looking for your next big challenge in AI, this is it.

We're on the hunt for a visionary and commercially minded Head of Data Science to lead a high-performing team that’s delivering products used by millions of customers. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to stay behind the scenes. You’ll be at the heart of strategic decisions, championing the use of AI to drive marketing ROI, product innovation, customer experience, and risk optimisation.

What’s in it for you?

  • Real commercial impact: You’ll lead the development and delivery of large-scale machine learning products that are at the core of our competitive advantage.

  • Big team, big opportunity: You’ll lead a talented team of Managers and Principal Data Scientists—mentoring, inspiring, and growing some of the best talent in the country.

  • Strategic influence: You’ll work closely with senior execs, shaping the roadmap for AI, ML Ops, and scalable model governance.

  • Innovation at pace: We move fast. You’ll have the chance to work on cutting-edge models, experiment with new techniques, and make decisions that get implemented—quickly.

What we’re looking for:

  • A proven leader with experience managing large data science teams and influencing at exec level.

  • Someone with strong technical depth in machine learning and a practical understanding of ML Ops and production systems.

  • A commercially focused thinker who can translate complex data science into clear business value.

  • An excellent communicator and storyteller who knows how to bring stakeholders on the journey.

  • A curious, ambitious mindset—always scanning the horizon for what’s next in AI/ML and how it can be applied meaningfully.


If you’re ready to take the next step in your career—and want to lead a team that’s building AI that matters—we want to hear from you.

👉 Apply now to be part of a team where data science doesn’t just support the business—it drives it.
