International Advisor
FeedConstruct is searching for a new International Advisor to join their team.
This role involves auditing and refining the organisational hierarchy of the live scouting department, evaluating current live data logging processes, and designing workflows to minimise data transmission lag.
The International Advisor will establish business continuity plans for technical failures, define the roadmap for sourcing high-quality data loggers, and standardise the assessment and vetting process.
Responsibilities also include designing specialised benchmarking tests, building a playbook for mass-hiring initiatives, and developing a data-driven framework to evaluate scout performance.
Furthermore, the role requires establishing secondary-review structures, designing a scout tiering system, and creating a competitive compensation matrix tailored to geographic regions, match difficulty, and data requirements.
Finally, the International Advisor will implement financial or tier-based bonus structures and balance payroll expenses against data quality to optimise the department’s overall operational budget.
- Audit and refine the organizational hierarchy of the live scouting department (e.g., Regional Coordinators, Quality Assurance Managers, Senior Loggers, In-Stadium vs. Video Taggers).
- Evaluate current live data logging processes (latency, data entry accuracy, communication protocols) and design workflows that minimize data transmission lag.
- Establish business continuity plans for technical failures, stream dropouts, or stadium access issues during live match operations.
- Define the exact roadmap for where to find high-quality data loggers, defining specific protocols for using primary channels and alternative talent pools.
- Standardise the assessment and vetting process.

- Build a playbook for mass-hiring initiatives required ahead of major tournament cycles or season kick-offs.
- Develop an objective, data-driven framework to evaluate scout performance. Metrics must include: Accuracy Rate (% of correctly tagged events against master review), Latency/Speed (average seconds between live event and system log), and Completeness (% of required metadata captured).
- Establish secondary-review structures where QA teams systematically audit live matches to grade data integrity.
- Design a "Scout Tiering" system (e.g., Junior, Core, Senior, Master) where performance directly dictates promotion and access to premium/high-profile matches.
- Design a competitive, scalable compensation matrix tailored to geographic regions, match difficulty, and data requirements.
- Implement financial or tier-based bonus structures rewarding high accuracy, perfect attendance, low latency, and willingness to cover late-night or short-notice fixtures.
- Balance payroll expenses against data quality to optimize the department’s overall operational budget.
- Minimum of 7 - 10+ years of direct, hands-on experience. within a major sports data provider (e.g., tier-1 sports betting syndicates) (required).
- Intimate familiarity with both Event-Based Data Collection (human logging software, UI/UX optimization) and Optical/Tracking Data Processes (required).
- A track record of having successfully scaled or managed a global network of hundreds of remote or in-stadium scouts (required).
- Expert-level knowledge of how data structures impact the end product (media feeds, betting APIs, or club analytics platforms) (required).
