  • Punctuality and Diligence - All Opta staff must understand the importance of punctuality surrounding live matches and the diligence required when covering such events. Honesty, integrity, and attention to detail are all vitally important characteristics of any Opta analyst.
  • Interpretation and Communication - Analysts need to have the ability to interpret what they are seeing in front of them in an accurate and timely fashion before communicating it clearly and concisely to the In-Office Analyst they are working with.
  • Training and Development - Analysts are expected to commit to ongoing training and improvement via specific, ongoing feedback and quality assurance measures. Training sessions will take place during the close season and periodically throughout the year.


Requirements
  • Excellent communication skills
  • In-depth knowledge of football accompanied by a genuine passion for the sport
  • Attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
  • Knowledge and awareness of a club or clubs in your region
  • Experience of performance analysis and/or data collection would be an advantage
