Yield & Execution Trader (Event Markets)

Job Description

Job Description

Company Overview We are a fast-paced, data-driven e-commerce and inventory management company specializing in the live event and ticketing industry. We leverage advanced point-of-sale automation, dynamic pricing algorithms, and high-volume distribution to optimize ticket sales across all major secondary marketplaces. We treat event tickets as highly perishable, tradable commodities and rely on strict quantitative analysis to drive our market positions.

Role Summary We are seeking a highly analytical and decisive Yield & Execution Trader to manage our short-position fulfillment and market buying operations. In this in-office role, you will be responsible for tracking real-time pricing decay, monitoring inventory holdbacks, and executing buy-back strategies at the lowest possible price point. You will not be making cold calls or handling customer service; your sole focus will be reading market data, identifying the true price floor of an event, and executing purchases before market squeezes occur.

If you have a background in proprietary day trading, quantitative sports betting, crypto arbitrage, or airline/hotel yield management, your skills will translate perfectly to this fast-moving market.

Key Responsibilities

• Market Monitoring & Execution: Track real-time ticket inventory and pricing velocity across primary box offices and major secondary platforms (StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, TickPick, AXS).
• Short Fulfillment: Execute high-volume buy-backs for pre-sold (shorted) inventory, using data to determine the optimal entry window to maximize margin.
• Pattern Recognition: Analyze historical decay curves, venue maps, and primary market holdback releases to predict when sudden influxes of inventory will drop the market price.
• System Management: Operate within our point-of-sale and auto-pricing systems (e.g., Victory Live, Automatiq) to synchronize inventory and update pricing models on the fly.
• Risk Management: Adhere to strict stop-loss parameters and execution rules to mitigate downside risk and avoid getting caught in late-stage short squeezes.

Who We Are Looking For

• Analytical Under Pressure: You are comfortable making rapid, high-value financial decisions based on real-time data feeds and fluctuating order books.
• Emotionally Disciplined: You do not rely on "hope." You know how to cut losses when a market turns against you and when to wait patiently for a floor to develop.
• Tech-Fluent: You are highly proficient with Excel/SQL, comfortable navigating complex SaaS platforms, and quick to learn new pricing automation tools.
• Background: 1–3 years of experience in trading, sports analytics, yield/revenue management, or a highly quantitative degree (Finance, Economics, Mathematics). Prior ticketing experience is not required—we will teach you the industry; you bring the execution mindset.
