Job Description
Ipswich Town Football Club is seeking a highly skilled, academically trained, and strategically minded Head of Technical Scouting to lead the development, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based methods for analysing teams and individuals.
This senior role requires the integration of advanced quantitative analysis, qualitative scouting, and video-based assessment to inform player acquisition and squad development in alignment with the ambition and vision of ITFC.
The successful candidate will report to the Director of Recruitment and generate actionable insights that crucially inform decision-making.
By combining rigorous academic methodology with practical football expertise, the Head of Technical Scouting will contribute to the expansion of the club’s recruitment team, ensuring the accurate identification and acquisition of players.
Ipswich Town Football Club is the only professional football club in Suffolk. The Blues are currently members of League One, but our proud history includes becoming champions of England under Sir Alf Ramsey, as well as FA Cup and UEFA Cup winners under Sir Bobby Robson. Off the pitch, the Club prides itself on being an integral part of the local community both in the town of Ipswich and beyond.
Following the acquisition in April 2021 by Gamechanger 20 Ltd, the Club is enjoying major investment in all areas. The new management team is investing time, money, and resource into pushing Ipswich Town up the football pyramid.
Significant investment continues to be made in the infrastructure of the Club, with the most important part being the people. Ipswich Town is as committed to building an ambitious, hard-working, passionate, and energetic team off the pitch as well as on it. We are an inclusive organisation and feel every single member of staff can make a positive impact on the success of the Club.
