Our client is a statistical research consultancy providing high quality modelling and analysis for the sports industry. They combine expertise in statistical analysis and research with in-depth sports knowledge, and dominate the sports modelling industry in the UK and abroad. They were founded as a family business and have retained their caring and inclusive attitude as they have grown over the years. As a group, they know their employees are their greatest asset and they invest the time and resource such an important asset deserves! They employ a research team of highly skilled individuals comprising modellers, analysts and support staff. They feel teamwork is an important part of their working ethos and also recognise the importance of a life outside the office – being based in the heart of Devon, their location certainly facilities this too!
They are seeking highly motivated and high calibre individuals to join their research and analytical teams. Successful applicants will work with new and established multi-skilled teams to develop novel statistical models, incorporating real-time information, in order to enhance understanding of the complex relationships inherent in competitive sports.
As a minimum, applicants should have a good first degree in Statistics or a similar numerate subject (Mathematics, Operational Research etc), a post graduate qualification in Statistics (MSc or PhD etc) would be an advantage. You will need to be confident in programming (R or C++ etc), have the ability to quickly learn and apply new statistical computational techniques. An interest, or involvement, in a variety of sports to give you an understanding of the probability in relation to sports outcomes is essential for you to enjoy and flourish in your working career here!
