You will be trusted to perform under pressure, apply expert knowledge of football and technology, and uphold the highest operational standards in a competition followed by millions worldwide.

This is a part-time contract position where we anticipate the engagement will be for an initial 2 year. You will be paid on a per-match fee basis, with additional paid training hour

Matchday Operations

  • Operate football officiating technology systems during live Brasileirão fixtures.
  • Work directly alongside match officials, supporting decision-making through accurate, timely, and clear technical execution.
  • Identify, retrieve, and present the best possible camera angles and operational outputs in real time.
  • Maintain constant situational awareness during live play, where timing and precision are critical.

Pre-Match Preparation

  • Plan and manage all pre-match operational activities, typically beginning up to three hours before kick-off.
  • Conduct comprehensive system, hardware, and software checks to ensure full readiness.
  • Verify calibration, configuration, and operational integrity in line with Genius Sports SOPs.

Operational Excellence & Development

  • Apply and uphold Standard Operating Procedures consistently across all assignments.
  • Contribute to training sessions and scenario-based simulations as part of ongoing development.
  • Support the development of best practices as the partnership with CBF evolves.

What you'll bring:

  • Strong Football Knowledge: Excellent understanding of football, match dynamics, and the Laws of the Game. Prior exposure to officiating environments is highly advantageous. Composure Under Pressure: Proven ability to perform in live match environments where decisions are time-critical and highly scrutinised. Technical Proficiency: Confident working with technology systems, with the ability to diagnose and resolve issues independently. Attention to Detail: Meticulous approach to preparation, execution, and reporting. Clear Communication: Professional, calm, and precise communication style, particularly under pressure. Self-Motivated & Accountable: Comfortable working independently as a contractor while representing Genius Sports and CBF to the highest standard.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
