Job Description

 
What you’ll do: Learn all aspects of the Traverse City Pit Spitters' People Operations department under the mentorship of the People Operations Manager.
Who We Are: The Traverse City Pit Spitters are a collegiate wooden bat baseball team. A member of the 22-team Northwoods League, located in Traverse City, MI. The Pit Spitters internship program is designed to provide an extensive hands-on career development training and job shadow program for those navigating the selection of appropriate careers. We offer internship positions that are meaningful and compatible with education and aspirations. The internship program offers a monthly stipend, tickets, free concession food, a free YMCA membership, and many more perks!


Who are you: You’re a College or University Junior or Senior, within 3 semesters of graduating. You need an internship for academic credit, and you’re pursuing a degree in Business, Human Resources, or Sport & Entertainment. You work hard, play nice, are people-oriented, and appreciate a good joke.
Why you want to work here: The Pit Spitters internship program is designed to provide an extensive hands-on career development training and job shadow program for those navigating the selection of appropriate careers. We offer internship positions that are meaningful and compatible with education and aspirations. We work very hard, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously; we realize how important things like office darts, puppy visits, and staff happy hours are. Plus, you also get free shared housing, a monthly stipend, free baseball tickets & food (your friends will love you!), a free health club membership, and opportunities to get discounted or free tickets to various shows and events in West Michigan. We’re also great people to work with.
What you’ll do: Your primary focus will be on all things People Operations. You will learn from and be mentored closely by our People Operations Department. You will be helping us through the entire hiring process, job fairs and postings, initial phone screenings, onboarding processes, and employee orientation. When in season, you will be introduced to scheduling, maintaining, and updating employee files, as well as working on projects that help us prepare for game days. You’ll gain experience in employee relations and engagement. On game days, you can expect to check in employees, making sure they clock in and out for their shift, and going around the ballpark, ready to jump in and help where needed.
What you need: You need solid availability no later than May 11th through mid-August (or your return to school). You can anticipate a full-time schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Non-event days are M-F 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Game or event days, the day still begins a bit later and ends after the game or event. You need a valid driver’s license and a great attitude.
Let’s do this: If you’re ready to apply, we look forward to getting to know you. Submit your resume and drop us a cover letter letting us know why you’d be a good fit. We’ll be in touch!
