Job opening for a Data Analyst

How does working for the reigning champions of Denmark sound to you? Now you have the opportunity to join the team behind the team at Brøndby IF – and be a vital part in improving our on- and off pitch performance.

The use of quantitative data at Brøndby IF is rapidly developing and so is our analytics team. Our newest available position is a full-time entry-level position for a passionate Data Analyst wanting to be a part of the ever-evolving world of football analytics.

Brøndby IF offers a professional but casual atmosphere with a focus on team spirit and a can-do mindset. In the analytics department we like to explore, learn, and help in order to push Brøndby IF further towards continued commercial- and footballing success.

The role as Data Analyst will contain a high level of responsibility but is set in an already well functioning analytics team. This will allow you time and space to grow into the role and the culture in our club.

The role will work closely with the coaches and scouts to develop data visualization tools and help implement their use in the daily workflows – especially in evaluating the current squad and assessing impacts of possible changes.

We primarily work in R and Python so knowledge and experience with these will give you a head start.
