January 5, 2017

Position: TrackMan Analytics/Operations Intern

Location: Stamford, Conn.

Description:
Join TrackMan’s team as an Analytics/Operations Intern for TrackMan Baseball, a US-based sports technology firm. You will take on a critical role in a small, fast-moving entrepreneurial company that is breaking new ground in sports.

In this position, your responsibility will be to review TrackMan data from a significant number of Major, Minor, NCAA, and international stadiums, as well as numerous amateur tournaments. You will also have the opportunity to perform statistical analysis as directed.

We are hiring on a rolling basis, and the internship wraps up at the conclusion of the Major League baseball season, with the opportunity to stay on for further projects. Candidates with only summer availability will also be considered for a shorter-term internship.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to break into the baseball community and get experience with data available exclusively to professional baseball teams. Detailed training is provided, along with the opportunity to work closely with members of the TrackMan staff and interface with our partner teams. Weekend and evening availability is important.

Responsibilities:

  • Excellent knowledge of baseball.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
  • Strong attention to detail.

Qualifications:

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.
  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Statistics, Mathematics or a related field.
  • Strong knowledge of databases (SQL, Mongo) and statistical software (R, Stata).
  • Experience working with large baseball-related data sets.
  • Scripting language experience is a plus.

I understand this is an internship. That said, given the state of unpaid internships in the US, I feel like this is a reasonable question: What kind of compensation, if any, could one expect to receive for this position?

It has an hourly rate for pay. I generally don’t put the exact rate.
