About the role

• Strong analytical skills and experience working with complex data sets and relevant analytics tools.
• Ability to turn data from multiple sources into clear reports, dashboards and practical insight.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical information to non-technical audiences.
• A collaborative style and confidence working with coaches, practitioners, athletes and programme leaders.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to ethical, reliable and trusted use of data.
