Tell me more…..
Do you love sports and want a career in Marketing? The City of Peoria is hiring Venue Ambassadors to serve as the Marketing Intern Leads. This is a "hands-on" opportunity with a variety of responsibilities and provides an opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain experience in the field of Sports Marketing & Management during the Spring Training season. Lead Interns working at the Peoria Sports Complex will get Major League Baseball experience with not one, but TWO MLB teams - the San Diego Padres and the Seattle Mariners. This position is responsible for game day preparation, sponsor fulfillment, developing new marketing concepts, and stadium & event management functions. There may be opportunities for interns to gain exposure in the sales, ticketing, and production side of the operations as well. The Lead Interns primarily assist the Marketing & Sales Department as necessary during Spring Training Baseball games; however, the Peoria Sports Complex is a TEAM environment, so from time to time, lead interns may be asked to assist other departments.
Regular duties will include
- Support staff in monitoring the quality assurance of essential stadium functions including concessions, facility maintenance, and guest services to promote an event-ready and fan-friendly ballpark.
- Assist with game day operations functions including but not limited to entry gate setups and breakdowns, game day magazine deliveries, table and chair placements, pre and post stadium cleanliness checks and participation in operational meetings.
- Assist in the implementation of marketing and season ticket sales campaigns to maximize event awareness and exposure.
- Assist in the development of sponsor fulfillment, in-game promotions and day of event activities.
- Exit coupon distribution
- Carry out all assigned duties and responsibilities, including additional tasks as needed to help achieve the overall goal of a successful season and department.
- Expectations:
- Ability to work a minimum of 3 games/15 hours per week (including one game M-Thursday).
- Able to commit to a set schedule and take responsibility for securing their own substitute if they cannot attend.
- Ability to be able to run in-game promotions with limited to no supervisions.
The ideal candidate for this position will have
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office.
- Excelling time management and organizational skills with ability to successfully prioritize and multi-task in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to demonstrate flexibility and quickly adapt to change while maintaining high levels of productivity and effectiveness under pressure.
