Lead The Athletic's entire analytics function — fully remote, reporting into NYT's sports media division. You'd inherit a freshly migrated modern data warehouse and build out a best-in-class analytics practice from a clean slate. No salary listed.

About the Role
Join the data leadership team at The Athletic, the premier sports media division of The New York Times, and take ownership of our entire analytics function. This is a critical leadership role that sits at the intersection of sports, digital subscriptions, and cutting-edge data strategy.
