Job description

Stats Perform is the global leader in sports technology, AI and the collection of real-time sports information. Our unrelenting focus on quality, integrity, and speed means our clients and partners worldwide can trust the accuracy, consistency, and timeliness of the data they receive. We are elevating the fan experience across media, betting, fantasy, teams, and leagues, which makes us the DNA of Sports.

A Data Collector is a person that reports sport data from games directly from the venue or in our offices, for example: a goal or a foul in soccer or a basket in basketball. The collected information depends on the sport covered and the role of the Data Collector.

To become a Data Collector, you must be based in the location you are applying for as you would work directly at the venue or in our offices in that country.

The payment scheme is based on performance and experience: the number of Experience Points will increase as the Data Collector spends more time with the company, and when the Data Collector performs well ensuring high quality of data. The more Experience Points the Data Collector accumulates, the higher the payment will be for each game covered. Ticket expenses are reimbursed, as are travel costs, according to the length of the journey and method of transport. Payment is made on a monthly basis.

Your application will be reviewed. If it is selected to proceed to the next stage of the recruitment process, you will be contacted by the internal team responsible for an interview. This will give you the opportunity to introduce yourself and ask any questions you may have. If everyone is happy with the outcome of the conversation, your application will proceed to the following stage.

As a Data Collector you must be reliable, punctual, professional, honest, have excellent attention to detail and good communication skills. Moreover, you will fulfill the following requirements:

• Ability to communicate in English even in stressful situations
• Knowledge of the English terms used in the sport you want to cover
• Ability to get to the venue(s) in the locations you applied for
• Availability to cover games, especially on weekends on a regular basis
• Competency in the use of information technology

Additionally, each new Data Collector is given thorough training by the Operations Training Team. Prior to becoming a Data Collector, you will need to successfully complete detailed training which will be comprised of a combination of self-learning videos, guides and quizzes, along with instructor-led training and a final test. This process may take an average of 20 hours, depending on the role.
