Successful candidates will be responsible for the weekly delivery of Sportable's match day services at venues across the country and will gain a front row seat to professional sport.

    The ideal candidate is a Rugby Union fan who appreciates the value that technology brings to the sporting arena. You will be interested in how data can be used, especially with respect to broadcasting, officiating, fan engagement, and performance analysis. You will be able to work confidently and independently in 'high pressure' situations where time and accuracy are important. Having pride in your work is critical. You will be confident leading a small team of casual staff and exercise a high degree of autonomy.

    • Basic knowledge of performance analysis software for the live coding of events.
    • Experience within an elite sport environment.
    • Exposure to live sports broadcast environments.
