Who we are

We’re here to fix a rigged system where the house sets the rules and always wins. Novig is the future of sports markets. It’s a peer-to-peer prediction market built to be a fair and transparent alternative to traditional sportsbooks. We put users first.

Why work here, in the words of the people who do

“Novig is extremely well positioned to win. We have the people, the culture, and the business to take advantage of the opportunity and maximize the markets and our valuation.”

“I joined Novig because it gave me a chance to be a part of a revolution.”

“I’m still here because I want to go head to head with the very best in our industry”

If you want responsibility, trust, and the chance to help build the future of sports betting - take your shot, the market is open.

The Fine Print

  • Our work is tied to live sports - that means potential nights, weekends, and pressure included.

  • If you need clear swim lanes, a heavy process, or someone to tell you what to do, this won’t be the right environment.

Who you are and why this role will excite you

  • Proactive, highly organized, and adaptable, ready to support the Founder & CEO in New York

  • Bring 3+ years of experience supporting a senior leader, ideally in a high-growth technology environment

  • Exercise strong judgment and prioritization skills, knowing what truly deserves time and attention

  • Communicate clearly and thoughtfully, writing with precision, following up consistently, and sharing context with warmth and efficiency

  • Apply exceptional organizational and problem-solving abilities, paired with creativity to find solutions even with limited resources

  • Stay agile and composed, adapting quickly and moving forward when priorities shift

  • Collaborate effectively, building trust and working seamlessly with peers and cross-functional partners

  • Possess a natural feel for timing, structure, and empathy - knowing when to nudge, protect time, or bring the right people together

  • Take ownership proactively, stepping in where needed to keep momentum moving

  • Own and orchestrate complex, fast-moving calendars by setting clear priorities, anticipating conflicts, and protecting time for focus, deep work, and leadership needs

  • Plan and execute critical on-site meetings in partnership with cross-functional teams and external vendors

  • Proactively anticipate needs and manage dependencies to ensure schedules stay seamless and on track

  • Coordinate travel and oversee expense reporting with accuracy and efficiency

  • Exercise sound judgment and absolute discretion when handling sensitive information and communications

We cover the spread

  • $90k – $110k base, benchmarked at top-tier tech companies

  • Meaningful equity for every employee, regardless of role

  • Ownership is not symbolic here-it’s the point

  • 100% health premiums covered

  • 99% dental & vision covered

  • 401(k) with 4% company match

  • HSA + $1,080 annual company contribution

  • $27/day lunch stipend when working from our NYC office
