Madden became a FIFA referee in 2010. He officiated in 2014 World Cup qualifiers, beginning with the match between Germany and the Faroe Islands. He left the FIFA list in 2022, as he moved from Scotland to England and officiated in EFL League One and EFL League Two games during the 2022–23 season.
Madden retired in 2023, a year ahead of his planned retirement date. After announcing his retirement Madden said that he "didn't enjoy it [English football] as much as I thought I would've", and cited frustration at how a case where a club official had allegedly made anti-Scottish remarks to him had been handled.
