# 4. Who should own the integration after procurement signs?


**Hiring signal · Reviewed 3 November.** Real Salt Lake’s Director of Soccer Analytics vacancy assigns responsibility for recruitment data providers, integrations, ingestion, cleaning, storage and player-evaluation models across its first team, Real Monarchs and academy. An external job board dates its listing to 12 October; the employer-posted specification provides the stronger evidence for responsibilities. Neither proves a purchase budget or dissatisfaction with an incumbent.

**Procurement implication:** Name the integration owner before the trial begins. The scouting champion should not have to discover after signature who will maintain player matching, resolve failed feeds and explain changing metrics.
