Role Description
As a Regional Evaluator at Scout Sport, you will focus on identifying and assessing football talent within your assigned region through live matches, training sessions, and other football events. In this volunteer, remote role, you will observe players, record structured evaluations on the platform, and contribute to a consistent evidence trail of each player’s performance and potential. You will collaborate with other evaluators to ensure assessments are objective, comparable, and aligned with Scout Sport’s evaluation standards. The role also involves staying informed about local leagues and tournaments, building relationships with clubs and coaches, and providing feedback that supports fair and transparent talent identification. You will manage your own schedule while maintaining regular engagement with the platform and participating in occasional virtual training or calibration sessions.

- Comfort with digital tools and platforms, including the ability to input structured data and written evaluations accurately and on time.
- Clear, concise written communication skills for documenting player assessments and providing constructive, evidence-based feedback.
- High standards of integrity, impartiality, and confidentiality when evaluating players and interacting with clubs and stakeholders.
- Ability to work independently in a remote setting, manage time effectively, and maintain consistent engagement as a volunteer.
