Director, Player Projections

The Player Projections department builds models to predict player performance, in support of player acquisition, development, and deployment. The Nationals are seeking a Director to lead the department. A successful Player Projections group will identify the traits most predictive of player performance, build statistical models to identify the best and most undervalued players, and inform the roadmap for the organization to acquire, develop, and deploy those players.

The Director will oversee Analysts who build high quality data pipelines, conduct and incorporate advantage-seeking research, utilize a deep knowledge of statistics and probability to build forecasts, and ensure those forecasts impact outcomes on the field.
