From SeatGeek's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we’re simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry.
SeatGeekIQ works alongside major sports and entertainment rightsholders to build and run a collaborative pricing and inventory strategy, operating as an extension of their commercial teams and accountable to the same outcomes they are. The Senior Trader is the senior owner on a subset of our largest partnerships: the pricing calls, the inventory position, and the relationship with the people on the other side of them.
Reporting to Kevin Shelton, Director of SeatGeekIQ, they work across live pricing, inventory strategy, partner management, and research, and help build what the team offers next. The team leans hard on automation and AI to keep analytical overhead off traders' plates, so the job stays about judgment rather than assembly.
At this level, you're accountable for the commercial health of the relationship, not just the pricing execution. That means owning renewal posture and escalations and being the person a partner's leadership calls first. You'll also be a pricing reference point for traders earlier in their careers, reviewing their work on high-stakes events and setting the standard for how the team operates.
Bachelor's degree in business, economics, finance, statistics, sports management, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
5+ years of experience in ticket pricing, revenue management, trading, or a comparable analytical commercial role, including at least 2 years as the owner of client or partner relationships, preferably in sports, live entertainment, or another dynamic-pricing industry
Real sports knowledge: you understand how standings, schedules, rivalries, star players, and playoff races move demand, and can talk shop credibly with people who've worked in sports their whole careers.
Fluency with sell-through, price realization, ATP, GTV, and inventory aging, and the judgment to know when the model is telling you something and when it isn't.
Comfort in spreadsheets and BI tooling, including reading and questioning data you didn't produce
A concrete example of turning a one-off analysis into something reusable so nobody had to answer it from scratch again
Nice to have: experience on the rightsholder side (club, league, venue, or promoter) or with a secondary marketplace, exposure to commercial deal structuring, and familiarity with data analytics concepts and workflows
The salary range for this role is $112,000 - $162,000 USD. This role is equity eligible. In addition, you may receive a discretionary annual bonus based on individual and company performance. Actual compensation packages within that range are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years and depth of experience, certifications, and specific location.
