Position: TruMedia Networks Client Support And Content Coordinator

Location: Boston (remote possible)

Description:
TruMedia is seeking a uniquely skilled talent to lead and contribute in multiple areas of our business as our Client Support and Content Coordinator.

One of the primary responsibilities of the role will be managing the content that TruMedia produces. This will include creating public-facing content for our web site, blog and social media accounts, as well producing highly targeted internal content for our current and prospective clients. Currently TruMedia focuses on football, baseball, soccer and cricket – so deep knowledge of any or all of these sports is ideal.

Beyond content, this role will also call for day-to-day interaction with our 50+ clients across professional sports teams and media in an account management setting – with a particular focus on our MLB clients. This person will be our front line support for teams when they have any questions related to our services.

Another responsibility will be as our functional QA lead across all of our products. This means you will provide constant feedback to our engineering team on features and functionality that will improve our offerings. It also means you will need to understand how teams can use our products to improve their processes and decision making.

And finally, we are looking for someone who understands the sports analytics landscape across multiple sports. You won’t necessarily need to build machine learning algorithms and code in JavaScript (though if you can, that doesn’t hurt!), but you do need to have an understanding of how to use data to both tell better stories in the media world, and help teams win more games.

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.
