Job Description
Are you passionate about improving the lives of young people? Do you want to help talented young sportsmen and women fulfil their potential? Do you have a network of young athletes within your sport who aspire to securing life-changing sports scholarships in the USA?
If the answer is yes to all three questions above, you have come to the right place. FirstPoint USA, a global leader in international sports scholarship recruitment, are looking to grow our team of Talent ID Consultants to help us increase our reach among aspiring young sportsmen and women all over the world. We want to tell more young people about the incredible opportunities available for prospective student-athletes in the USA across more than 30 different sports and we need you to help us do this.
We are particularly interested to hear from people who have existing networks in the following sports:
Football
Rugby
Golf
Swimming
Tennis
Athletics
Basketball
Volleyball
Field Hockey
Rowing
What is the role of a Talent ID Consultant?
We are looking for people with a background in sport and working with young people to connect us with aspiring sporting talent. You might be a PGA professional honing the skills of young golfers, a football coach in your local community, a teacher helping senior pupils decide on their next steps in education, or a former student-athlete encouraging the next generation to follow in your footsteps.
By joining the Talent ID team at FirstPoint USA, your role is to identify talent within your network, provide information to young athletes and their families on the opportunities available at colleges and universities in the USA, and then introduce prospective clients to our experienced Sports Consultancy team. From there, we do the rest.
You’ll be in great hands, as will the young athletes you introduce to us. We are the world’s leading international sports scholarship agency, helping more than 20,000 student-athletes from all over the world find the right college or university in the US and secured in excess of £300m in scholarship deals for our clients.
The Benefits
You’ll be suitably rewarded. Working as a self-employed consultant, you’ll receive an introducer commission fee for every student-athlete you refer to us who signs as a FirstPoint USA client. The more you successfully refer, the more we’ll reward you. And we’re always on the lookout for great people to join our team on a full-time basis. So if a career as a sports consultant is of interest, and you demonstrate the skills we are looking for, you’ll put yourself in a great position to be considered for a future role.
And you’ll be part of the FirstPoint USA team, with apparel, merchandise and training made available to you as you progress with us.
