Location: Newry, Northern Ireland
Contract: Temporary Contract, 35 hours a week
Start Date: As soon as possible
Since 2007, we’ve grown from a small Irish start-up into the global leader in GPS performance tracking, trusted by the world’s biggest clubs, leagues, and athletes. Our technology sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and sport, helping teams optimise performance, reduce injury risk, and unlock insights that were previously impossible.
But just as importantly, our products support the next generation of athletes, from academies to grassroots, giving them access to the same performance tools as the pros.
Innovation has always driven us forward, and it’s our people who make that happen.
We are looking for a flexible, cross-functional Operations & QA Specialist to join our team. This unique role offers the chance to move between the Warehouse team during peak seasons and our QA and Operations teams for the remainder of the year. Designed as a key development opportunity, you will gain genuine visibility across multiple parts of the business, building a broader skill set than a single-function role would allow.
If you are proactive, adaptable, and excited by a role where no two seasons are the same, this is your chance to learn, contribute widely, and become a versatile, go-to member of the STATSports team.
Warehouse Team – Peak Season:
Pick, pack, and process orders to meet daily operational targets.
Handle incoming and outgoing goods, ensuring stock is stored accurately and safely.
Maintain a clean, organised workspace and follow all health & safety procedures.
Work as part of the warehouse team to hit production and dispatch schedules during high-demand periods.
QA / Operational Teams:
Perform functional testing on STATSports hardware and accurately record results.
Support new and returned product management, including firmware updates, device set-up, and configuration.
Help troubleshoot hardware and software issues, and document root causes.
Support smooth movement of stock between warehouse locations, working closely with QA and Operations teams.
Maintain accurate records using NAV ERP and Microsoft Excel.
Rotate into other Operations-adjacent projects as required, gaining exposure to different parts of the business.
Familiarise yourself with, and fully comply with, STATSports quality standards and all Company Health & Safety policies.
Actively participate in daily team briefings for whichever team you're supporting that period.
You’ll likely enjoy this role if you have:
Genuine flexibility and adaptability; comfortable switching priorities and teams as the business calendar demands.
Reliability, punctuality, and the ability to work well both independently and as part of different teams.
Experience in either a warehouse/fulfilment environment or a QA/technical testing environment (exposure to both is a strong plus).
Basic-to-strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to work.
Proven ability to follow processes and instructions accurately across two different functions.
Highly motivated with a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
Good communication skills, able to work comfortably with different teams and managers.
Nice to have (but not essential):
Interest or background in sport, with an understanding of the expectations of elite sporting clients.
Understanding of LEAN principles or continuous improvement practices.
Experience using warehouse management systems (WMS) and/or NAV ERP.
A versatile role directly supporting high-quality hardware used in elite sport
Cross-functional exposure and high visibility across multiple core business departments
Continuous learning and hands-on career development within a global company
Collaboration with experienced operations engineers, QA specialists, and logisticians
A team culture that values learning, ownership, and shared success
