If that analyst job is part-time, I'm going to consider. I can't be faded with excel spreadsheets.

You know damn well they dont except make believe certs
In my case, I'm a senior contract analyst for a hospital. it's my job to look at excel and numbers all day.
Informatics?
I almost went to school for that.
Well, that's not my area of expertise.
It sound boring as heck too. I am guessing idea you just create programs that tabulate numbers that are given to you. Then, you return those numbers to the coaches. It's their job to do what they want.
Team X is likely to give the ball to player Y for a 3 pointer 35% of the time in the second quarter. Team Z is likely to change up to a three-man game and dish it to player H 65% of the time when down after the half. There are tendencies which we can perceive while watching a game, but the exact percentage can be nailed down with informatics.

Actually, I went to school for an MBA in health care management. Career paths can take you to some interesting places. This isn't a bad detour as far as job. Pay is great and people that use excel typically earn 10% more than the average person in the same position. Making those pivots and graphs look fly is what I'm all about.

Qualified candidates will have demonstrated many of the following characteristics:
• Strong programming skills (e.g. Python, Perl, Ruby, C++, Java,….) to support both the front-end and back-end of applications
• Strong database skills (e.g. SQL, Teradata,….)
• Strong statistical skills and experience with statistical and analysis software (R, SAS, Stata, Matlab, Octave)
