Basketball Operations Analyst

Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia, PA

Full-time/Intern

The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to add talented new developers, software engineers, statistical analysts, and data scientists to the team. Basketball analysts will work as a part of the front office and collaborate extensively with the entire basketball operations department including President and GM Sam Hinkie. Experience in basketball is not required; analytical talent and learning easily is. The Sixers are looking for both permanent employees and interns. Most basketball analysts will work in our basketball operations office in Philadelphia but other arrangements may be possible. If you're passionate about basketball and have technical skills that you think could help an NBA team, please see the official posting and apply here: http://nbateamjobs.teamworkonline.com/teamwork/r.cfm?i=71706

This looks like an intriguing opportunity, but I just checked your post history and noticed you have posted the same ad every month for 9 months now. I can't imagine that a basketball team is experiencing startup like growth or employs more than a few people in these roles so the repeated ads bring up some questions. Are you guys actually hiring for open positions or just collection resumes? Do you have a lot of turnover? Or is there some other reason (low pay, crazy hours, etc) why this search is taking you the better part of a year?
I've attempted to contact several times, with no response.
Hi jsjigg - I'm not sure why that is. Please try again and we'll be sure to get back to you.
Thanks slg - we are indeed hiring and are just trying to look for as many interested people as we can.

If you have specific questions on anything we're happy to answer and would encourage you to send us an email: bballopsjobs@sixers.com.

It would be nice if you responded to emails.
Would I get to meet Sauce Castillo???
He would be your co-worker.
