About this role
Sporty Group's night shift operations role centers on keeping backend systems running smoothly and protecting the business from fraud. You'll monitor payment flows across multiple platforms in real time, handle customer service escalations that require data analysis and investigation, reconcile transactions, and flag suspicious activity. The work spans technical oversight—watching Grafana and Slack alerts, managing tools and SOPs—alongside direct support tasks like resolving queries, managing website content, and fielding customer contact across email, chat, social media, and phone.
This suits someone with at least a year in Level 2 support or payment/tech roles, ideally within iGaming or sports betting. You'll need strong Excel or Google Sheets skills, sharp attention to detail, and the ability to think analytically about operational patterns. The night shift (23:00–07:00) is in-office in Cape Town, with flexibility expected around public holidays and weekends. English fluency is essential given the breadth of communication channels you'll manage.
If you have gaming or payments experience and are comfortable with overnight hours and a mix of monitoring, analysis, and customer-facing work, this role offers real operational responsibility in a fast-moving industry.
