About arenaflex and the Opportunity

At arenaflex, we live and breathe sports. As a global leader in sports media and data intelligence, we are dedicated to delivering the most accurate, timely, and engaging sports content to fans across the world. Our Statistics and Data Acquisition division sits at the very heart of this mission, producing elite-level data, insights, and storytelling that ensure millions of fans trust arenaflex for the depth, accuracy, and perspective they crave. We are Picky Colleagues who Focus on Quality and drive Innovation. Every single day, we strive to be Curious, Inclusive, and Accountable, all while Sweating the Details and Serving Fans by Being One unified team.

This is not your typical data entry position. As a part-time Sports Statistics Analyst I at arenaflex, you will become an essential part of our renowned Statistics and Analytics team, working within the broader Statistics and Data Acquisition department. Scores, statistics, standings, and real-time game data on nearly all arenaflex platforms — television graphics, bottom-line tickers, digital properties, fantasy sports products, and live game trackers — are produced and maintained by our dedicated team. Your work will directly power these platforms, ensuring that fans receive precise, timely, and intelligent sports information around the clock.

Beyond data entry, our Statistics Analysts play a vital role in transforming raw numbers into compelling storylines. You will need to recognize statistical events that help explain why a team won or lost, why a player had a breakout game, or why a particular trend is emerging across a league. Candidates with specialized training — such as those with backgrounds in mathematics, economics, database management, or SQL programming — will find unique opportunities to apply their analytical skills in support of arenaflex's data projects and storytelling initiatives.
