Job Description Trackman Diamond Sports (TMDS) is seeking an Analyst for its newly formed Strategy & New Ventures group. This is a new position and will report to the Director, Strategy & New Ventures. The group operates as a small, fast-moving build team inside TMDS, responsible for turning ideas into working products and capabilities that reach customers. Its charter spans new customer-facing offerings across AI, analytics and insights, education, as well as internal tools that make the business faster and smarter. The Analyst will spend the majority of their time building. That means prototyping concepts, standing up working tools, testing them with real users and iterating toward something TMDS can ship and support. Analysis and business cases are part of the job, but they exist to inform what gets built, not to sit as recommendations. Good candidates will be baseball and softball obsessives who are strong in querying and modeling data, capable of getting a prototype in front of people quickly, and comfortable operating with limited structure on problems that do not yet have a defined answer.
