Skills: Probabilistic Modelling, Statistical Modelling, R, Python, Sports Modelling
Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop and maintain predictive statistical models for cricket and other sports to improve client profitability. Perform detailed statistical analysis on datasets and communicate findings to stakeholders and clients.
Requires a postgraduate degree in Statistics, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. Must possess strong programming skills in R or Python and a demonstrated passion for sports modelling.
As a member of the Quant Team, you will join an exciting environment, predicting outcomes of professional sports on behalf of our clients. We focus on football, baseball, basketball, cricket, tennis, American football, ice hockey, horse racing and golf.
In this role, you will join our current team of cricket quant analysts in developing statistical models primarily for cricket, while also supporting research into other sports, as well as investigating how our predictions can be leveraged to improve profitability and the overall commercial performance.
Furthermore, you will play a key role in developing and supporting the reliable production of high-quality predictions for our clients. We highly value the personal development of our team members and you will therefore be able to allocate dedicated time to improve your skills and gain the necessary experience that will enable you to progress into more senior roles.
You’ll have plenty of autonomy to execute your models from idea to code to validation to (hopefully) deployment, integrating your well documented and tested code into our internal libraries to help in prediction for at least one of the above sports.
The atmosphere is a collaborative academic one with peer reviews, research talks, and the opportunity for further education. Unlike academia though, the market is there to give immediate feedback on how good your model is. This makes the job challenging but also very exciting.
While we are open to applications from anyone who meets the minimum requirements, we would be especially keen to hear from applicants with more substantial research experience for this particular role.
