What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in football scouting, sports media, or sports betting analytics—where I can combine athlete scouting, sports-law discipline, and probability/xG-style market/value assessment with high-quality match-day operations.

I’m a sports manager with 6+ years across combat-sports event operations, athlete scouting, sports law, and government/public affairs, built to deliver compliant, high-tempo productions.

At MMA Series / MMA-TV.com, I manage the complete fighter database, execute contracts, screen incoming fighter applications by weight class and eligibility, and build tournament cards. I coordinate officials, sports-medical staff, security services, and VIP stakeholders, and I serve as the primary liaison for fighters during production days. I also deliver post-event reporting to the Board of Trustees and support senior leadership on strategic matters.

Earlier, as an assistant to the Legal Director and through committee work in the State Duma, I strengthened my contract review, legal compliance support, and analytical briefing capabilities. Backed by a Law and Economics foundation from HSE University and hands-on sports-management training from Skillbox, I’m now seeking a role in football scouting, sports media, or sports betting analytics.
