About the role

Summary :

  • The first peer-to-peer sports betting exchange, recently closed a $6m seed round from YC, Lux, Soma, Paul Graham, Joe Montana, Innospark, the founders of Instacart and Dropbox, and many other top angels and funds
  • Founders are recent Harvard grads with quant experience at Jane Street and BoA and years of experience as sharp sports bettors
  • $300B annually bet on sports in the US and the size of the market is rapidly growing, particularly given the opportunity for operators to capitalize on the sweepstakes business model
  • Currently the only way to bet is with retail sportsbooks which have egregious margins, discriminatory and inefficient practices, and a stale betting experience
  • Novig is a sports betting exchange that guarantees users the best lines by allowing them to bet directly against friends or the market, rather than against the house, making the betting experience more efficient, fair, and, most importantly, profitable

What will you do?

We’re on the search for individuals passionate about social media content creation to join our team to produce, shoot, and edit entertaining short-form video content for @novig_app on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. If you’re obsessed with creating content that is equal parts entertaining, addictive, and on-brand, then we want to hear from you! Must be habitually online and have impeccable awareness of internet trends, with a knack for storytelling.

We’re offering a pay-per-video structure. The more videos you create, the more you’ll earn. Here’s the best part: when your videos get noticed, you’ll receive a bonus based on performance. 

This is a fully remote position. As long as you have internet connectivity, we don’t mind where you are.

What are we looking for?

  • Storyteller passionate about sports and social media 
  • Awareness of internet trends and pop culture 
  • Interest in sports betting and finance
  • Experience with editing videos
  • Detail-oriented 
  • Strong leadership, problem-solving and communication skills

What is Novig?

At Novig, we are building the first peer-to-peer, commission-free sports betting platform in the US — essentially the NASDAQ of betting.

We guarantee bettors the best odds and eliminate the need for traditional sportsbooks. We do this by enabling users to bet directly against friends or the market, rather than against the house, making the betting experience more efficient, fair, and, most importantly, profitable.

Novig’s founders, Jacob and Kelechi, are recent Harvard grads with experience at Jane St & BoA who started Novig with the belief that a commission-free P2P exchange model will replace the exploitative and unprofitable betting model of traditional sportsbooks. They themselves were sophisticated sports bettors who grew increasingly frustrated by the latency, discriminatory practices, monotony, and non-profitability of the retail sports betting experience.

As the regulatory landscape evolves in the United States, Novig is positioned to become a leading innovator in sports betting with our unique focus on research and technology.
