Apprentice Data Technician - Deadly Dozen
Deadly Dozen · Macclesfield
We are looking for a Race Results & Operations Assistant to work closely with our Results & Operations Lead, supporting the systems, data and organisation behind Deadly Dozen races worldwide.
This is not a repetitive admin role where you are shown one process and repeat it forever. The work changes constantly. One day you might be checking athlete data and results files; the next, helping resolve a registration issue with an international director or working through a timing or leader board problem nobody has encountered before.
We need someone organised, proactive and genuinely good at figuring things out.
What you’ll be doing
- Preparing, checking and cleaning athlete registration data
- Building and managing results files, leader boards and split-time data
- Checking race results for missing information, errors and inconsistencies
- Supporting race setup, including entries, team information, wave times and event data
- Coordinating with timing companies, race directors, gyms and athletes
- Responding to queries clearly and professionally
- Helping improve the templates, systems and processes behind Deadly Dozen operations
- Taking ownership of new problems and working towards practical solutions
What we’re looking for
You do not need previous experience in race timing or event operations. What matters more is how you think and work.
You will likely be a strong fit if you:
- Are confident with spreadsheets and large, imperfect datasets
- Can spot when something does not look right and investigate it properly
- Enjoy solving problems without needing every step explained
- Are highly organised and comfortable managing several moving pieces at once
- Communicate clearly and professionally with a wide range of people
- Can work independently but know when to ask the right questions
- Use AI tools intelligently as part of how you work
- Are comfortable in a fast-moving role where priorities can change
This role will not suit someone looking for a fixed, predictable list of tasks. We are looking for someone reliable who can learn quickly, use judgement and help keep the operation moving.
Benefits.
- Free gym membership
- Room for progression as a growing company
- holiday entitlement 28 -30 days
- potential for overtime due to events.
