Vacancy : Xanadu

Head of Financial Reporting, Control and Change

At Xanadu, we build systems and products for the online sports betting industry. We currently have an open position for a Group Reporting Accountant to join us and work on Matchbook – the world’s fastest growing betting exchange.

Matchbook is a betting exchange platform. This uses peer-to-peer betting where customers can choose to either place a bet or take a bet. It’s suitable for all types of bettors from casual punters to professional traders. Matchbook is no ordinary website. It has more in common with the New York Stock Exchange than with a bookmaker. It operates at scale. Its API processes over 300 million API requests per day. It manages billions of dollars worth of transactions. It processes more transactions each day than Amazon.com does on Black Friday. At Matchbook you’ll work at a scale which you’ll rarely find anywhere else. The challenges here are big – really big. The people you’ll work with are hungry to tackle them. If this sounds like a challenge too good to ignore, then we want to hear from you.
