The Program Manager for Sports Data and Analytics is a new position within Dartmouth College Athletics and Recreation. Reporting to the Executive Associate Athletics Director for Peak Performance, this role will lead the development and implementation of new Sports Analytics services within the Dartmouth Peak Performance (DP2) team-an interdisciplinary support team helping varsity student-athletes maximize their potential as students, athletes, and people during their time at Dartmouth. Additionally, it will provide data science support to existing sports science and performance technology service area.

This role requires frequent interaction with DP2, sport coaches and staff, athletics administration, campus and industry colleagues. The successful candidate will be responsible for working across these domains to create and manage data infrastructures, systems, and processes that elevate the health, performance and competitive excellence of Dartmouth's varsity athletics programs. This role requires advanced technical expertise in sports analytics and data science, strategic planning, project management, and adaptable communication, as well as the ability to apply these effectively in a high performance academic and athletic environment.

We're excited to announce a groundbreaking new role at Dartmouth that bridges sports, data, and innovation. While this type of position has become a staple in professional sports, Dartmouth will be one of the first NCAA institutions to bring it to college athletics. The Program Manager for Sports Data and Analytics will have the unique opportunity to build a sports analytics program from the ground up, leveraging Dartmouth's distinctive resources and environment.

The successful candidate will thrive in a data-rich setting, taking on projects ranging from designing ETL processes and automating reporting tools to spearheading research in sports analytics and performance science. With Dartmouth's broad spectrum of varsity sports, they'll work directly with coaches, student-athletes, and interdisciplinary collaborators-including world-class faculty-to drive innovation.

Reporting to an experienced leader with a background in MLB R&D, this role is perfect for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset, a passion for advancing competitive excellence, and the vision to build something truly unique.
