Not only do our contacts possess a global reach, but our coverage in data and analysis reaches every continent. At Onside Analysis, we recognise that as in football, the key to our performance is our team. And just like in football, we understand that our continued success depends on not standing still. As such, we are always in the market for new signings, to bring new skills and talents to complement our current team. THE ROLE We are looking for talented individuals who are willing to shape our statistical modelling team to be a market-leading provider of services based upon statistical modelling, analysis and performance analytics. While applicants are likely to have specialist skills in specific areas, we want team players willing to go the extra mile and extend themselves beyond their comfort zone. Our team will be responsible for researching, developing, implementing and testing a suite of statistical models and techniques to provide revolutionary content for our software applications, delivered across a number of platforms including web, desktop and mobile devices, utilising the latest technologies. Where possible we specialise in open source technologies.

Applicants with past experience using relational databases (preferably PostgreSQL or MySQL) will score bonus points. You will be able to demonstrate your abilities through tangible work or projects. Ideally you will have a good education including a Ph.D. in statistics or mathematics, with a large element of computational programming. However, not everyone chooses the same career path and individuals with strong modelling and programming experience but no Ph.D. will also be considered.
