Who are UK Sport?:
We are the UK’s trusted high-performance experts, powering our greatest athletes, teams, sports and events to achieve positive success.

Our purpose is to lead high-performance sport to enable extraordinary moments that enrich lives.
We are on a mission – to create the greatest decade of extraordinary sporting moments, reaching, inspiring, and uniting the nation. That mission is underpinned by three ambitions for UK high-performance sport; to keep winning and win well, to grow a thriving sporting system and to harness those to inspire positive change. Working with the sports and events we fund, DCMS, and our partner organisations across the UK high-performance system, we are building on 25 years of ever-growing success to write the UK’s next chapter for Olympic and Paralympic sport.

This role will specifically require knowledge or experience of working closely with a sport.
About you:
You will be passionate, curious, and committed to applying data led insight, statistical modelling, statistical software packages and applying them to real world problems.
