• Communicate and escalate issues quickly and professionally, staying calm under pressure while juggling multiple tasks.

• Stay sharp with a working knowledge of NCAA rules, teams, and players, helping you recognize and react to key game events.

• Familiarity with college sports stats , rules and tracking tools.

• An understanding of best practices for live data collection and attention to detail.

• A chance to get paid to watch live sports while contributing to real-time sports data operations at the forefront of the industry.

• Opportunities for both personal and professional development , especially valuable for those looking to grow in sports, data, or media fields.
