This role suits someone in the early stage of their career. Some professional experience is welcome but we would highly value a passionate candidate with little to no professional experience.

We look for someone who is genuinely interested in what makes our business tick, and how data and analysis can be used to understand and improve every aspect of the business, generating long-term value. The role will be varied and engaging, but will include:

1) Delivering Insight

• Provide analytical insight for commercial owners across the business to both inform and support operational and strategic decision making.

2) Creating Data Models & Building Consistent Centralised Reporting

• Model Development: Design, build, and maintain dbt models to support data needs and ensure optimal performance. Optimise our data infrastructure, ensuring clean, reliable data for our stakeholders.
• Testing & documentation: Create dbt tests to validate data quality and prevent issues. Document model logic to ensure clarity and transparency.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement dbt best practices to enhance transformation efficiency.

Use our BI tool Mode to:

• Maintain and enhance real-time reporting for our Trading and Customer Service teams.
• Automate daily/weekly/monthly reporting to monitor business performance for all teams.
• Help inform business decisions with insightful reporting

3) Supporting on Data-Driven Projects

• These include various forecasting models typically built in Python
• Anything from helping work out how many people will visit the website each day through calculating the future value of all our members
• A chance to deploy cutting-edge machine learning techniques that really have an impact

A little bit about you: To thrive in the Sportscape team you will have a problem-solving mindset, able to respond to challenges with creative solutions. You will be a team player and will be willing to get stuck in, one of our key values at Sportscape. We actively encourage everyone in the Sportscape team to continue to develop and build new skills so a willingness to learn will be important. We do however require a few specifics from you.

To be successful in this role you must: 

• Have excellent analytical and numeracy skills
• Be skilled in SQL
• Be skilled in Python or R
• Possess a passion for data and accuracy
• Be very logical and very detailed
• Have a numerate degree
• Good written and verbal communication skills, comfortable explaining simple conclusions from complex analysis to anyone across the business

​

Nice to have but not essential:

• Some experience with dbt would be advantageous
• Experience with Mode or other similar data visualisation tools
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, agentic patterns, and evaluation approaches, alongside an eagerness to keep pace with the rapidly evolving GenAI ecosystem. 
• Experience within an e-commerce business
• Ability to communicate in French is a plus
• Have an interest in sports and the outdoors

Benefits vary from locality and we would be happy to explain these in more detail depending on the location of your application.
