Who are we?
SportScientia is a sports technology company dedicated to advancing athlete performance. We specialise in accurate, on-field "gait analysis" - the study of how athletes walk or run - moving this critical measurement out of the lab and into the field. As a fast-paced organisation that demands accuracy, we are looking for a key member for our operations team to help us manage and scale our growth.
About the Job
We're looking for someone who pays attention to details and is ready to learn. This is an entry-level job where you'll learn three main things: how to look after our technology, how to manage logistics as we ship our products all over the world and how to keep tabs on happenings in the market.
You'll work right next to the Operations Manager, Jack Rock, who will teach you everything you need to know. Your main goal is to make sure our daily work runs smoothly and perfectly.
You don't need any work experience in our industry to apply. We care more about finding the right personality than the right CV. If you like solving problems, don't need to be told what to do next, and have a positive attitude, we will train you.
Your Responsibilities
- Technical Calibration & Maintenance: You'll be in charge of making sure our main technology is set up correctly (calibration). You will also help with small technical fixes and figuring out why equipment isn't working (troubleshooting). We will teach you how to do all of this.
- Global Logistics: You'll handle our products from start to finish: from packing them up, filling out paperwork, and making sure they get to their international destinations on time and in the quickest, best way possible.
- Admin Support: You'll do general office tasks. This includes typing in data, keeping track of what equipment we have, and keeping our digital and paper files super organised.
- Quality Control: You will help check our equipment standards to make sure that everything leaving our office is top-quality.
- Market & Competitor Research: You will be responsible for keeping our competitive landscape document up to date by researching the market, checking socials, and seeing what our competitors are up to.
What We Need
- Self-Motivated: You find tasks and finish them without waiting for someone to tell you what to do next.
- Positive Attitude : When a new problem comes up, you face it positively, focused on finding a fix.
- You Love to Learn: You are excited to learn new things and are good at listening to instructions.
- Handy & Practical: You naturally feel comfortable with tools or basic tech hardware and enjoy taking things apart to see how they work.
- Attention to Detail: Since you'll be setting up our tech and managing world shipping, being "almost right" is not good enough.
Why Join Us?
This role is more than just a job; it's a way to get valuable training. You will learn unique skills in both shipping/organisation and technical hardware repair that are important for jobs today. You'll also be directly contributing to the success of elite competitors, learning how the tech you work on helps top athletes in sports like football and track athletics train smarter and get better at their sport. You'll get an up-close look at how a company operates around the globe, and you’ll have a manager dedicated to helping you grow.
Pay: £24,000.00-£26,000.00 per year
Work Location: Hybrid remote in Slough (Berkshire, South East Region)
