A stadium roar and a scroll through a fan forum aren't as different as they might seem — both are signals of how people feel about a team, in real time. We're hiring a Remote Sports Fan Engagement Analyst to read those signals and turn them into strategy. The role is fully remote and pays $105,000 annually.
Where This Role Sits
You'll work at the point where fan behavior data meets actual campaign decisions. That means pulling apart social sentiment, live engagement numbers, and app activity to figure out what fans actually respond to — then working with marketing, product, and design teams to act on it. This isn't a purely analytical seat; the insights you surface are meant to shape real fan-facing decisions, not sit in a dashboard nobody opens.
Shaping Engagement Strategy
- Build and run fan interaction strategies that improve the experience across every platform fans touch.
- Review real-time feedback from social media, in-app activity, and forums to sharpen live event engagement.
- Design engagement flows and campaigns based on how different audience segments actually behave.
Running Digital Campaigns
- Work with the marketing team to launch and optimize campaigns targeting specific fan segments.
- Monitor sentiment and evaluate what's working through detailed performance reporting.
- Recommend changes to loyalty programs or in-app features grounded in actual behavioral data.
Turning Data Into Insight
- Use sports analytics platforms to understand patterns in fan engagement.
- Build dashboards that make findings clear and usable for teams outside of analytics.
- Develop forecasting models to anticipate spikes in fan participation and digital traffic around major events.
Working Across Teams
You won't be doing this in isolation. You'll partner directly with design, product, and engineering to bring fan-focused ideas to life, and coordinate with customer success and community moderation so that feedback actually closes the loop rather than disappearing into a queue. Sharing what you learn with other teams — new trends, unexpected engagement patterns — is a regular part of the job, not a quarterly formality.
How the Work Gets Done
This is a remote-first role built for people who do their best work with real flexibility — home, a co-working space, wherever your setup works best. Coordination happens through digital tools, and while nobody's sharing a physical office, the sense of being part of a real team stays intact through regular collaboration and honest feedback.
The Tools You'll Use
- Fan behavior and social listening platforms such as CrowdTangle or Talkwalker.
- Social media monitoring tools for tracking sentiment in real time.
- A/B testing platforms like Optimizely.
- CRM and fan data platforms such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
- Visualization tools including Looker, Datawrapper, or Google Data Studio.
- Internal dashboards built specifically around fan insight reporting.
What's Required
- Minimum required education: High school diploma or equivalent; a Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Sports Management, or a related field is preferred.
- At least 2 years of experience in fan engagement, digital strategy, or audience research; 3 or more years is preferred.
- Solid understanding of digital fan engagement strategy and sports media platforms.
- Demonstrated ability to turn data into actual strategic decisions, not just summary reports.
- Comfort with data visualization and reporting that clearly communicate findings.
- A balance of analytical discipline and creative instinct — this role needs both.
- Comfort working with engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike, adjusting how you explain things depending on who's in the room.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with social media metrics, sentiment analysis, or campaign attribution modeling.
- Genuine interest in sports culture and awareness of how global fan communities behave online.
