Description The Scottish FA is looking for a Data Scientist within our Football Performance section to design, build, and maintain a data environment containing multiple, diverse data sources that can be used to identify and monitor key performance indicators for the Scotland international teams. The post holder will support the Sports Science and Data Manager with the gathering and integration of data to develop insights and visualisations into different National team's performance through a data led approach.
The ideal candidate will have established experience in a similar data-driven role, preferably acquired in elite football environments, a strong understanding of statistical modelling and regression analysis techniques, and some experience with data visualization tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar.
Self-motivated and enthusiastic, the ideal person will have a "can-do" attitude, will want to deliver change for the organisation and therefore will embrace learning and provide ideas for improvement. This is a mostly autonomous role, so it's important that the person is self-motivated, can work within set deadlines and communicates effectively with the rest of the team. The role is offered on a permanent basis and is located in Hampden Park; however, flexibility in terms of travelling and working hours is a must.
Key Responsibilities Design, build, and maintain a secure,
data platform architecture
including data pipelines, data stores, and data outputs. Design, build, and maintain
data pipelines
to collect, clean, and organise raw data from multiple sources. Analyse large datasets to identify patterns, trends, opportunities, and insights that can drive performance decisions. Develop and maintain impactful and engaging dashboards and reports for internal stakeholders. Communicate data-driven insights, results, and recommendations through
visualizations , reports, and presentations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Undertake CPD as appropriate to meet the demands of the role. Work in collaboration with other internal performance practitioners to help them understand the benefits and opportunities of a data-led approach and how it can meet their requirements. Represent the Scottish FA and Department at external meetings and events as specified and required by the Sports Science and Data Manager. Undertake any other reasonable duties as may be allocated by the Sports Science and Data Manager.
