Sports Consultancy Internship Program

An opportunity exists to join our team as part of a course-credit internship requirement, that will provide you with hands-on experience and a true taste for the sports industry and our business in consultancy, research and insights. The internship will involve working across our leading client Tennis Australia, as a part of one of the largest sporting events within Australia, the Australian Open Tennis.

Working in either a single block or on a regular part-time basis you’ll be partnered with a Graduate Analyst or Analyst for the duration of your internship, briefly shadowing their experience while also getting an immediate opportunity to immerse yourself in the collection, review and analysis of real-life data. From the get-go interns are given the opportunity to understand how to interpret data and form insights that will inform commercial and business strategy that shapes the Australian sports landscape.

Specifically, the Sports Consultancy internship will see you undertake;

• Use of internal apps and software to collect and store data required by analysts
• Collection and cleaning of sports match data to explain trends in audiences and brand exposure patterns, boosting your Excel skills
• Analysis and insights to help understand patterns in camerawork and drivers of brand exposure during sports broadcasts, putting your creative thinking to the test, through watching sport!
• Analysis and summary of trends in Futures sports fan surveys
• Other administration tasks requiring strong attention to detail
