About The Position
Rothera is building the premier prediction market in partnership with Robinhood and Susquehanna International Group. By empowering traders to take positions on the events that shape our world, Rothera’s platform harnesses the scale and power of financial markets to produce timely, unique, and effective information discovery for leaders and decision-makers to ask and answer their most important questions. Rothera operates at the frontier, generating market-driven forecasts that turn intuition into insight. The Live Events Associate is responsible for monitoring markets related to high-profile events across sports, politics, economics, digital assets, and more. This position presents an opportunity to rapidly learn about market structure, regulated exchanges and clearinghouses, and event contracts from the front lines in a customer-facing role. Live Events Associates use Rothera’s proprietary tools to record and track event outcomes, maintaining fair and orderly markets, and protecting the integrity of Rothera’s tradeable products. Associates engage directly with Rothera’s engineers, product managers, and executive leaders to resolve mission-critical questions and issues. Live Events Associates exhibit high aptitude and as such may start out with limited industry exposure. To be successful they must be adaptive, highly empathic, and motivated to learn. They take initiative to understand the nuances of real-world events, and the listed contracts related to them, in a fast-moving market while mastering Rothera’s trading, clearing, and data services. Markets are constantly changing, and Live Events Associates regularly face time-sensitive, unstructured challenges in high-visibility situations where actions and decisions are consequential. This role is one of significant responsibility and requires conscientiousness and focus over extended periods. In partnership with Rothera’s engineers, Associates use their deep understanding of Rothera’s products and fluency with Rothera’s proprietary tools and operational workflows to execute a high volume of routine settlement processes, as well as researching emergent anomalies to identify actionable solutions.
