Event Operations & Facilities Internship

You want to work in sports, but do you have what it takes to be great? Do you want to learn from the best and become the best?

Seriously. Nobody ever became the best by sitting around, being lazy and waiting on the phone to ring. From the athlete to the front office, the glamour surrounding this industry was created by dedication, hard work, sweat, integrity and a competitive desire to be the absolute best. So, if you are not motivated, if you do not want to dominate, if you do not want to change the landscape of the sports industry, stop reading this and apply elsewhere.

You can probably tell we are not the average sports business organization you studied about in your sport management classes. You are right. And you probably believe as we do that being average is failure. This means you ‘get it’ and we want you to be on our team.

With a new ballpark, innovative mindset, and aggressive ownership group, the Tacoma Rainiers team looks to continue their winning ways.

And this is where you come in.

1.       Desire to learn 

2.       Ability to work in a team 

3.       Driven to be the best

Sound too simple? Nope. You would be surprised at how many are satisfied with mediocrity and don’t care to be the best. Again, do you have what it takes?

You would report to the Director of Event Operations & Experience and work closely with: 

1.       Director of Facilities & Safety

2.       Event & Operations Manager 

Some of you still may think the job requirements are too vague but if you already have the required attributes, you probably have the following:

·       Strong Time Management Skills
