The posting

JOB SUMMARY:

The Applied Performance Scientist is responsible for managing scalable workload monitoring frameworks and integrating this data into decision-making workflows across the organization. The position will drive research to better understand and anticipate injury risk, while also advancing applied research that links physical preparation to on-field performance. This role works closely with performance, medical, and coaching staff to ensure consistent, data-informed processes across all environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development and implementation of a standardized workload monitoring framework that informs athlete readiness and workload decisions, with an emphasis on data interpretation, education, and application across performance, medical, and coaching groups.
  • Collaborate across all areas of Health and Performance, including Medical, Rehab, Strength & Conditioning, and Performance Science, to design and maintain integrated processes that align physical, mechanical, workload, and performance information to support consistent, evidence-based decision-making.
  • Monitor team and individual workload trends, flag elevated injury risk or underperformance, support playing time projections, and communicate trends proactively.
  • Support in-season physical testing and profiling, integrating results with workload and game-demand data, to flag when a player's capacity and demand don't match.
  • Support player evaluation through physical profiling and benchmarking against positional and level-specific norms, to inform acquisition and development.
  • Support injury risk modeling and drive broader research initiatives to improve the organization's ability to understand, anticipate, and mitigate injury risk.
  • Complete ad-hoc analysis and generate reports as directed, deriving applied insights from the data to support development and performance goals across the organization.
  • Drive applied research efforts that advance the organization's understanding of player availability and on-field performance outcomes.
  • Monitor emerging best practices and innovations in performance science, integrating relevant advancements to maintain a competitive edge.
  • Continuously evaluate and improve internal systems, workflows, and communication to enhance efficiency and impact.

MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES:

  • Master’s in Exercise Science, Kinesiology, Data Science or related field required.
  • 3+ years applied Performance Science experience with elite athletes (pro, collegiate or Olympic) with NSCA CPSS or CSCS.
  • Extensive experience in workload monitoring, performance testing, and strength and conditioning preferred; a background in mathematics or data science, particularly modeling, is a plus.
  • Excellent knowledge of baseball concepts, with experience working directly with players and coaches.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to align stakeholders and facilitate productive collaboration across departments.
  • Strong systems thinking, with experience building efficient workflows that integrate data, technology, and people.
  • Strong analytical skills and proficiency with data analysis tools (e.g., SQL, R, Python).
  • Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment, with accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as the baseball calendar requires.

WORKING CONDITIONS:

  • Office environment.
  • Evening, weekend, and holiday hours required.
  • Based in Lakeland, FL, or Detroit, MI, with periodic travel.
