ESPN Statistics & Information Group

 Areas within the Statistics and Information Group include: Bottom Line, Production Research and Stats & Analysis

If statistics, story lines, news-headline writing, and editing are a big part of your sports game, then the Stats and Information Group is the place for you. We are a pressure-packed, exciting work environment specializing in information dissemination across ESPN. Our product is seen across multiple platforms: television, ESPN.com, ESPN The Magazine, and ESPN Mobile Publishing.

The Statistics and Information department is three departments in one: the Stats and Analysis Team, Production Research, and Update Services, also known as the Bottom Line.

• The Stats and Analysis Team serves all of the company’s entities with real-time scoring, statistics, updates and all statistical information for pro and college sports, including Next-Level Statistics—statistics that go deeper, or are more non-traditional, and are generated by the use of video tracking, mining in our data warehouses, or through the use of Web sites that delve into more analytical statistics-processes.

• Production Researchers ensure the accuracy of live news and information shows, such as SportsCenter or ESPNEWS, and sport-specific shows on baseball, football, basketball, and other sports. Responsibilities include researching original content for full-screen graphics—including Next-Level Statistics, anchor lead-ins and original pieces, and providing live updates to talent in studio. Additionally, researchers need expert-level recall of sports history and current events to provide statistical or factual analysis of games, news stories and topical issues.

• Update Services manages the editorial operations of ESPN's domestic "Bottom Line" services. Staff members are accountable for the accuracy and timeliness of all content, as well as editorial decisions and writing and editing headline bulletins in a real-time environment.

Members of these teams must be passionate about sports and statistics; in fact, they should possess elite-level sports knowledge. Strong communication skills are necessary, as is an affinity for detail. Accuracy is essential. They must thrive under deadline and be willing to work non-traditional hours: nights, weekends, and holidays. We have team members who come from all levels of experience and fill positions ranging from entry level to seasoned professional.

If you’re interested in a full-time position or internship with any of these departments, please email a copy of your updated resume, phone number and description of your sports knowledge to us  AND create a profile through our Web site.  You must complete both of these steps in order to be considered.
