CPL Roster Management and Operations Interns
Interns will be responsible for reviewing and clearing player agreements and updating team rosters daily throughout the season. They will also have the opportunity to work alongside league office staff members in various areas of the league’s operation, from media and marketing to operations, compiling historical data and expansion research - we want our interns to grow and learn during this experience.
Overall we feel this internship offers students the rare opportunity to have a true role within an organization while gathering valuable experience that will help them secure their desired jobs upon graduating from college.
Please DO NOT apply for this internship if you are NOT willing to commit for the full summer or work holidays that fall in this time frame. The season runs from May 28th - August 10th (we would prefer to onboard our interns and have them working around mid-May so they are best equipped by the time Opening Day arrives); and with a small staff and lots of games occurring each day across four states, your assistance each day is vital to our operation.
