ScorePlay is the AI media platform that helps sports organisations take control of their content.
Every match, training session, or live game generates thousands of photos and videos from multiple cameras, most of it scattered across tools and hard drives. ScorePlay centralises everything in one place and uses AI to automatically tag, sort, and organise content so sports organizations can find any moment in seconds.
From there, clubs and leagues can edit directly inside the platform and instantly share assets with athletes, internal teams, broadcasters, sponsors, and partners. What used to take hours of manual work now happens in moments - helping organisations move faster, reduce costs, and get more value from every piece of content they create.
You'll be working on
ScorePlay is the AI-powered media infrastructure for sports, built to automate the content operations behind the world's biggest sports organizations. We work with 300+ leagues, competitions, teams and broadcasters – including Ligue 1 and Premier League clubs, NBA and NFL teams, the Tour de France, the Australian Open, and leading bodies like UEFA and FIBA – helping them turn every moment on and off the field into high-value, structured content. Our platform brings all their media into one place and makes it effortless to find, edit and share in seconds.
Founded in 2021, we’re a 50-person team based between New York and Paris, growing 2x year over year with 98% retention. We’ve raised $20M+ from top investors including Alexis Ohanian and Harry Stebbing’s 20VC and elite athletes like Kevin Durant, Raphaël Varane, Mario Götze, Nico Rosberg and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
If you’re passionate about sports and thrive in fast-paced environments - and you want to help shape how the next generation of fans experience sports, you’re in the right place. We’re on track to become the global leader in sports media, and this is definitely the best time to join our adventure.
Role Overview
As our Talent Acquisition Manager, you’ll be ScorePlay’s only recruiter, with full ownership of how we find, assess and hire the people who fuel our growth. You’ll work directly with the founders and every hiring manager, and you’ll see the impact of each hire on the business.
The bar is high, and you own it. We’d rather keep a seat open than fill it with the wrong person, and we count on you to hold every hiring manager to that standard, from engineers in Europe to sellers in the US.
Most of your week is running searches with a sales mindset: sourcing, screening, closing. The rest is making them work better, with sharper funnel data, better hiring-manager habits and smarter use of AI.
This is a hands-on, high-impact IC role for a strong generalist recruiter with solid sourcing experience in tech environments, who combines execution with data and process rigor. Experience hiring technical profiles is a big plus.
Key Responsibilities
Hiring Execution: Run 4 to 6 searches at a time across tech, product and go-to-market, from role definition and sourcing through screening, interview coordination and closing. This is where most of your time goes.
Proactive Sourcing & Pipelines: Go after candidates directly rather than waiting for inbound, and build relationships with strong engineering and commercial profiles before roles open.
Funnel Data: Track response rates, conversion by stage, time to fill and offer declines in our ATS, keep the data clean, and use it to show hiring managers where a search is stuck and what to change.
Hiring Quality & Manager Accountability: Run and improve our structured interviews, scorecards and debriefs, and hold hiring managers to the standards we agreed on.
Recruiting Productivity & AI: Test automation and AI to save time on sourcing, screening prep and candidate communication. Measure time saved and quality kept, not the number of tools deployed.
Candidate Experience & Employer Brand: Make every candidate journey sharp and human, from first message to offer, and help leadership and marketing grow ScorePlay’s visibility as an employer.
Key Requirements
Experience: 4+ years in talent acquisition or sourcing, ideally in fast-scaling tech companies. Technical hiring experience is a big plus.
Sourcing Expertise: Proven ability to identify and engage niche talent, with a track record of successful outreach and conversions.
Data-Driven Recruiting: Comfortable using funnel metrics (conversion, time to fill, offer acceptance) to diagnose issues and influence hiring managers’ decisions.
Structured Hiring: Experience running structured interviews and scorecards, and holding hiring managers to agreed standards.
Builder Mindset & AI: Curious and hands-on with AI and automation. You try new ways of working and keep what actually makes you faster or better.
Collaboration Skills: Strong ability to partner with hiring managers, challenge assumptions, and guide them to sharper decisions.
Communication: Fluent English, written and spoken, at a level where you can lead calls and close candidates with ease. French is a plus.
Location: Based in Paris or remote from France or UK.
Why ScorePlay?
Own the function: you decide how ScorePlay hires, with direct access to the founders and leadership team.
Hire internationally: roles across Europe and the US, from engineers to enterprise sellers, for teams spread between Paris and New York.
Work on a high bar: quality comes before speed here, and you’re the one who keeps it that way.
Room to experiment: try new tools and AI workflows, and keep what actually works.
A product people love talking about: sports media, with clients like UEFA, FIBA and the PGA Tour.
We know many people hesitate to apply if they don’t meet every single requirement on a job description. If you’re interested in ScorePlay but not sure you tick all the boxes, we’d still love to hear from you, this could be the start of a great long-term collaboration.
