Analyst / Research Lead

Founding Sports Intelligence Analyst / Research Lead
Sweden / Remote · Part-time · Founding Team · Early Stage
About Caveric
Caveric is building the intelligence infrastructure of sport.
We turn fragmented sports information into structured, trusted intelligence that helps football organisations make better-informed decisions.
Our starting point is:
Sweden → Football → Organisational & Economic Intelligence
We are at an early stage, so you would be joining while the company, research methodology and first products are being built.
The Role
We are looking for a Founding Sports Intelligence Analyst / Research Lead to help build Caveric’s research capability.
You will research and analyse areas such as:
* Football organisations and clubs
* Finances and business models
* Ownership and governance
* Commercial opportunities
* Sponsorships and partnerships
* Markets and competitors
* Organisational developments
* Industry trends
You will turn information from different sources into clear, evidence-based intelligence.
Your core workflow:
Research → Verify → Analyse → Benchmark → Explain
What You’ll Help Build
You will contribute to Caveric’s:
* Intelligence Rooms
* Research methodology
* Benchmarking system
* Evidence standards
* Research processes
* Sports intelligence database
* Future intelligence products
A major part of the role is answering questions such as:
What is happening? Why does it matter? What does the evidence show? What is still unknown?
We care about evidence, accuracy and clear thinking not speculation.
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need to have the perfect CV.
We are looking for someone who:
* Has a genuine interest in football
* Enjoys research and finding information
* Thinks analytically
* Has strong attention to detail
* Can work independently
* Can organise messy information
* Communicates clearly
* Is comfortable with Excel / Google Sheets
* Is curious and willing to learn
Experience in football, economics, business, research, data analysis, consulting or sports management is a strong advantage.
You do not need to be a programmer.
This Could Be You
You might be a:
* Football or business student
* Economics graduate
* Business/data analyst
* Researcher
* Football professional
* Sports management graduate
* Someone who simply has strong football-business knowledge and excellent research skills
Your ability to think and investigate matters more than your job title.
Why Join Caveric?
You would be joining at the beginning and helping build something from the ground up.
You won’t just be given tasks.
You will help shape how Caveric researches, understands and delivers sports intelligence.
Our long-term vision is:
Research → Intelligence Products → Intelligence Platform → Sports Data Infrastructure
Commitment & Compensation
Caveric is currently pre-revenue and early-stage, so we cannot currently offer a conventional salary.
We are looking for people who are genuinely interested in helping build Caveric during this early stage.
The initial collaboration would be part-time and structured, with a limited commitment.
As Caveric develops and reaches a sustainable revenue/funding stage, contributors who are a strong fit may be considered for paid positions.
Any future employment or compensation would be discussed separately and is not guaranteed.
Initial Period
We suggest starting with an 8–12 week collaboration.
During this period, you would help us:
1. Research Swedish football organisations
2. Build sample Intelligence Rooms
3. Develop research processes
4. Test our methodology
5. Develop benchmarking frameworks
6. Learn whether we work well together
The goal is simple:
Build → Test → Learn → Improve
