Job Description

 
Who We Are: We’re the Traverse City Pit Spitters, the premier Northwoods League franchise playing at Turtle Creek Stadium in Traverse City, Michigan. The Traverse City Pit Spitters are in the FUN business, and our mission is to provide affordable family entertainment that strengthens the Northern Michigan Community. We create memorable experiences by offering a fun, friendly, and inclusive environment. We are a Championship Organization, and we pride ourselves on our stellar customer service and our dedication to providing friendly faces, open minds, and our time and energy to our fans.
Why we want 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 Sports or Event Management, Business, or a related field. You work hard and play nice, 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. Plus, you also get a monthly stipend, free baseball tickets & food, a free health club membership, and opportunities to get discounted or free tickets to various shows and events in Michigan. We’re also pretty great people to work with.
What you’ll do: You'll learn all aspects of the ticketing department, including box office operations, group and season ticket sales, hospitality, and theme nights to enrich the ballpark experience for fans, sponsors, and the community. You’ll learn the fundamentals of selling in the sports industry. You’ll gain knowledge in most other departments while working under the mentorship of other departmental managers. You’ll also probably participate in some silly promotions in front of thousands of fans, and have a lot of fun doing it.
What you need: You need solid availability no later than May 6 through August 19 – you’ll be working full-time, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Non-event days are generally M-F 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Event days, the day generally begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends after the 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!
