Someone put up the Chris Groves signal
I’d love to do this, but school’s consuming enough right now.
Business as Usual has a STACKED team. I mean, we could win with just me, but you know.

I'll second that
If they’re looking for a numbers geek with strong writing skills, Chris is the man. No idea if he’s looking for a job, but man, does that sound like a dream job.

Ha! Thanks Chris.
What an amazing opportunity. I love my job right now, but our community has at least a dozen members who are a shoo-in for this vacancy. I strongly encourage any BE citizens with even a passing interest to pursue this listing.

Well, I've thrown my hat in the ring.
And I certainly wouldn’t mind living in Washington D.C.

Guess I need to tailor up an updated resume. Fightmetric analysis definitely sounds like more fun than my current gig of financial analysis.

Nice.
BE readers should get on this. This is a great opportunity to quit your boring day job and work with MMA full-time.
One of my goals actually is similar to my last line. If given the right opportunity, I’d seriously want to leave my day job for MMA.
I’m an undergraduate econ student interested in getting experience in data analysis type jobs. Do you offer volunteer part time positions?
I know this is a long shot but if so please email me at trey.castle@gmail.com. I’m interested in learning and developing skills as well as sharing my passion for mma!
Sorry to be an old man, but
if you’re serious about seeking any type of employment, paid or not, it’s your responsibility to contact the employer. That’s why they left their contact information (jobs@fightmetric.com). It’s likely that the original poster will never look at this ever again.
Honestly and truly, I don’t mean to be an asshole. But if this is something you’re really interested in, I want you to know the best way to express it. I hope you’ll take the initiative in contacting FightMetric, and good luck to you!

..Why can’t there ever be MMA-related government relations jobs? Or jobs for people to write about the political economy of MMA?
You stats nerds get all the fun.

Athletic Comissions are government/sports-related jobs.
