Work Environment
Work from home with a schedule that follows the NFL calendar. Game days and high-traffic windows may require flexibility, including evenings or weekends. You’ll be part of a digital-first team, collaborating through messaging platforms, virtual meetings, and shared dashboards. Despite being remote, the environment is close-knit, with a focus on shared outcomes and accountability. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, suggest process improvements, and grow alongside professionals who share your passion for accuracy and sports operations.

Whether it’s powering fantasy leagues or supporting coaching decisions, clean data is foundational, and you’ll be the one keeping it trustworthy and fast.
