Operations Intern - East Texas Pump Jacks
The East Texas Pump Jacks are entering our third season in the Texas Collegiate League, and we are offering exciting internship opportunities to help launch both the team and our interns to stardom. This is a great chance to get hands-on experience across multiple disciplines in the sports industry, while also making your mark on a young, evolving organization. And housing can be provided!
Operations interns will be asked to participate in a multitude of activities. Interns will not be pigeon-holed into limited job responsibilities that only give you a glimpse of what it takes to run a sports franchise. Instead, you will be a part of sales, community outreach, tickets, concessions, merchandise, and game operations efforts – virtually anything that the team does. And these won’t be simple “go-fer” type tasks; much of what you do will be substantive activities that will provide you with valuable experience. Moreover, you won’t be simply taking orders; as a member of the front office, you will participate in staff meetings and have a direct impact on how this team takes shape. Not only do you get to be a part of a sports franchise, but you’ll get to put your stamp on it, too!
Throughout the summer, all operations interns will rotate through supervisory roles in various departments. From merchandise, concessions and tickets to ballpark operations and on-field promotions, you’ll have a chance to do it all. Not only will your experience be hands-on, but it will include supervisory and training responsibilities. This is the sort of management experience that is incredibly valuable and rare for interns. You will also be a part of ongoing sales, public relations, and community outreach efforts during the season. An operations internship gives you an excellent opportunity to get valuable franchise experience, impacting the way this team is embraced by the community. Operations interns are full-time members of the team staff. Because of the commitment necessary to be a part of the summer staff, part-time candidates cannot be considered.
Internship candidates should be interested in a career in sports and enthusiastic about the opportunity to join a young team. Prior experience in sports is beneficial but not necessary. You will be working in social atmospheres with large crowds as well as more individualized settings, so comfort in both environments is helpful. Interns should be computer-savvy, and creativity is a plus. You must be ready and willing to work as part of a team, you must be open-minded, and you must be prepared to learn. Interns are not paid a stipend, but you will earn commissions on outside sales; housing will be provided. Interns will be expected to begin work by mid-May – although starting earlier, if possible, is encouraged – and work through the end of the season in mid August. There may be an opportunity for a full-time position at the conclusion of the program for the right intern, and ownership will use its contacts to help secure employment for all successful participants that want to pursue a career in the sports business. Most importantly, though, you will earn valuable experience that will serve you not only in school, but in your career as well.

The team is owned by a three-person partnership that pursued a franchise of our own for some time. We have a passion for sports at this level; moreover, we have a passion for creativity and for entertainment. We don’t abide by the mantra of “that’s the way it’s always been done” – in fact, that usually inspires us to find a new and different way of doing things. All members of the ownership group are engaged in the team, but only one is involved in the day-to-day operations on a year-round basis. That member, who serves as the team’s general manager, has been working in sports since 1993 and brings to the team experience with nine other baseball teams, including several start-ups. He enjoys working with interns and mentoring young executives, and looks forward to making you an important part of the team’s success. Though this is the only team owned by our group, we expect that it is just the first of a growing organization.
To Apply: If you are interested in applying for this position, please send a cover letter and resume to Mike Lieberman. Your cover letter should document any applicable experience, but it should focus more on why you believe you are a good fit for this organization. Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but no phone calls please. Because of the volume of resumes that may be received, please be patient as we work to respond to all submissions.
Operations interns will be asked to participate in a multitude of activities. Interns will not be pigeon-holed into limited job responsibilities that only give you a glimpse of what it takes to run a sports franchise. Instead, you will be a part of sales, community outreach, tickets, concessions, merchandise, and game operations efforts – virtually anything that the team does. And these won’t be simple “go-fer” type tasks; much of what you do will be substantive activities that will provide you with valuable experience. Moreover, you won’t be simply taking orders; as a member of the front office, you will participate in staff meetings and have a direct impact on how this team takes shape. Not only do you get to be a part of a sports franchise, but you’ll get to put your stamp on it, too!

Media Relations Internship - East Texas Pump Jacks
The Pump Jacks are looking for an aspiring media relations professional to be part of our exciting, intensive internship program.
The East Texas Pump Jacks are entering our third season in the Texas Collegiate League, and we are offering exciting internship opportunities to help launch both the team and our interns to stardom. This is a great chance to get hands-on experience across multiple disciplines in the sports industry, while also making your mark on a young, evolving organization. And housing can be provided!
As the team’s media relations intern, you will help shape the way the team interacts with the media and the public. Your responsibilities will include writing and reviewing press releases and game stories, maintaining the team web site, and maintaining the photo database. You will also communicate regularly with area media outlets, as well as developing and executing plans to raise the team’s public profile. This is not your typical “go-fer” internship; you’ll have substantive responsibilities that will provide you with valuable experience. Moreover, you won’t be simply taking orders; as a member of the front office, you will participate in staff meetings and have a direct impact on how this team takes shape. Not only do you get to be a part of a sports franchise, but you’ll get to put your stamp on it, too!
As part of the team’s internship program, you may also be a part of ongoing sales and community outreach efforts. Unlike the team’s operations interns, who will rotate through a variety of functional areas during the season, your primary focus will be media and public relations. Therefore, this position requires someone who is pursuing a career in sports media and/or public relations. If you want to get a broader experience within a sports organization, or if you’re unsure about your future aspirations in sports, you may want to instead consider an operations internship with the Pump Jacks. If your future is in sports media, though, this will give you an excellent opportunity to get valuable franchise experience. The media relations intern will be a full-time member of the team staff. Because of the commitment necessary to be a part of the summer staff, part-time candidates cannot be considered.
Internship candidates should be interested in a career in sports and enthusiastic about the opportunity to join a young team. Prior experience in sports and/or journalism is highly beneficial, but not necessary. The position demands the ability to write well and under deadline, so writing samples may be requested. Applicants should be computer-savvy, with proficiencies in Microsoft Office software; experience with Adobe Creative Suite programs is a plus. Creativity and the ability to think outside the box are also beneficial. You will be doing a good deal of individual work, but you must also be ready and willing to work as part of a team. Internships are not paid, but you will have the opportunity to earn commissions on sales; housing will be provided. Interns will be expected to begin work by mid-May – although starting earlier, if possible, is encouraged – and work through the end of the season in mid August. There may be an opportunity for a full-time position at the conclusion of the program for the right intern, and ownership will use its contacts to help secure employment for all successful participants that want to pursue a career in the sports business.
