Role Overview

We are seeking an Engagement Manager Sports Analytics to lead client-facing analytics and AI initiatives for a premier consulting client in the Sports, Media & Entertainment space. This role sits at the intersection of advanced analytics, sports domain expertise, and stakeholder leadership.

The Engagement Manager will own analytics workstreams end-to-end, translate data science outputs into actionable recommendations, and partner with client stakeholders to drive adoption and measurable impact.

  • Experience leading analytics projects or workstreams end-to-end

  • Ability to structure ambiguous analytical problems into clear workplans and deliverables

  • Oversight of model development and analytical outputs (guidance rather than day-to-day coding)

Client & Stakeholder Management

  • Act as the primary point of contact for client stakeholders on analytics initiatives

  • Translate analytical findings into clear, executive-ready insights

  • Manage expectations, timelines, risks, and delivery milestones

  • Partner with business and technology stakeholders to define success metrics

Team & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Guide and review work produced by data scientists, analysts, and BI teams

  • Collaborate with data engineering and platform teams to operationalize analytics solutions

  • Ensure analytical rigor and best practices across deliverables

  • 10+ years of experience in analytics, data science, or advanced analytics roles

  • Proven experience in client-facing or consulting delivery environments

  • Ability to lead analytics engagements and influence senior stakeholders

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
