About The Position
SIS is looking for highly motivated individuals with a desire to work in the football industry. Data Scouts will have a chance to make an immediate impression on the company. Each Data Scout will be collecting data that is directly used by SIS clients for advance scouting and evaluation purposes. Not only will the Data Scouts become more familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of hundreds of college and professional players, but they will also learn the ins and outs of the ever growing football data industry.

Led by a former NFL scout, SIS offers Data Scouts the opportunity to learn more about writing scouting reports, learning about the critical factors for each position and what life is like as an NFL scout.
