Oakland Ballers | Raimondi Park | Oakland, CA
The Oakland Ballers are looking for a high-energy Cocktail Hawker to join our gameday crew at Raimondi Park.
This is not your typical concessions job. This role is for someone who can move fast, sell confidently, and bring great energy to the ballpark. As a Cocktail Hawker, you’ll walk the stadium seating during games selling pre-made, canned cocktails directly to fans in their seats. If you like being in the middle of the action and turning hustle into earnings, this job is for you.
Our Regular Home Game schedule runs from May 19th through the end of August (possible extension through September) , with 51 home games. We are looking for someone who can commit to working every home game. Most game shifts last 3 hours.
What You'll Do
- Sell cocktails directly to fans throughout the stadium seating sections
- Move quickly through the ballpark to maximize sales opportunities
- Engage fans with friendly, confident service
- Carry and manage a hawker tray stocked with canned cocktails, cups, and ice
- Process transactions using a wireless Point of Sale device
- Maintain product quality and presentation while serving
- Help create a fun, memorable experience for fans at Ballers games
Who We're Looking For
- Big personality / Character-first mindset: You won’t just serve drinks. You are part of the show. You enjoy talking to people, working a crowd, and creating a persona that fans remember. If you’re the life of the party and love a little banter (and becoming a mini ballpark celebrity), you’ll thrive here.
- Sales focus: You enjoy selling and are motivated by earning more through your own effort.
- Speed and hustle: You move quickly and stay active throughout the game.
- Strong customer service instincts: You’re comfortable interacting with fans and making quick connections.
- High energy: You bring enthusiasm and aren’t afraid to call out to fans and work a crowd.
- Physical stamina: You can comfortably carry 40+ pounds and move up and down stadium stairs for multiple hours.
Schedule and Commitment
- 51 home games total
- Expected to work every home game
- Typical shifts are approximately 3 hours during games
- Potential home playoff games may extend into mid-late September
