Statistics Manager at ESPN (Job Opening)

An old professor of mine sent me a link to an intriguing job opening on ESPN. I figure some here might be interested. The following is a summary of the responsibilities:

•Provide regular feedback and conduct performance reviews for direct reports. Develop S&A's next group of leaders by working with direct reports to ensure there is a steady stream of elite performers working up the ladder for consideration for future supervisory or managerial positions.

•Working in concert with upper-level management, react to and solve issues, suggest and address redeployment of resources as events develop and communicate changes and updates to all ESPN platforms.

•Take a lead role in improving processes for accurate data intake and work with the Technology department as new software is developed to accomplish those tasks. Analyze and refine standards for proper technique and ensure newsroom staff is fully trained and up to date.

•Make decisions on a nightly basis as the news operation monitors feeds, identify when there are issues with feeds and step in to manually build feeds when necessary.

•Ensure the accuracy of content in a real-time basis.

•Orchestrate and plan newsroom coverage of individual sports by collaborating with stakeholders from across the company, including Studio Production, Digital Media and International Production.

•Run point on various projects within the newsroom.

•Become proficient in newsroom technical applications and processes.
