Do you love watching sports and want to break into the sports industry? Do you enjoy football or more specifically College Football? If so, come join Scouting Heroes. We are looking for quick learners with a high attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to cover College Football games for the 2024 season. The typical amount of games ranges from 3 - 7 but could be more dependent on the area you are located. Interviews will start in mid-late April and if hired, training would tentatively begin in late July.

Please check your spam folder, as interview invites have gone to spam in the past. Do note, it can take a couple days to hear a response due to the high volume of applications we get for open positions.

A cover letter will be required when applying. We are looking for a paragraph on why you think you'd be a fit for the role and also why you are interested in College Football.

JOB PURPOSE:

Attend College Football games in Champaign, IL and surrounding areas of up to a 1-hour travel distance (less is better but that is our maximum range so please keep that in mind before applying). Record and collect in-time real data on our Data Collection Tool and work closely with the game-day support team to ensure data is being recorded quickly and accurately. We are fueling the next generation of fan engagement.

Note: This is a part-time, independent contractor role for the 2024 College Football season. Performance dictating, there is the potential of being invited to cover the 2024 - 2025 College Basketball season as well as being asked back for future seasons.
