Season Ticket Account Associate
At the Orlando Magic, our approach is to not only learn as much about you as we can, but for you to learn about us. This is definitely a two-way street, so time with your potential new leader, teammates, and/or other departments that the role will work with is critical. It isn’t just, “what are we looking for”, but also, “what do we have to offer you” and “are we the right fit for you.” While every position is different, our interview process is typically a three-step process, with our sales roles being a combination of phone interview, Teams interview and then a final in-person interview that includes a 10 minute "Brand Me" presentation from the candidates where they get to present their personal story/brand/why they love doing what they do.
What we offer you:
- 18 days of personal time off per year + 13 holidays (that is 31 paid days off year!) plus reduced summer work hours (every other Friday off during the off-season, which averages to another 8-9 days annually)
- A hybrid work model, casual work attire on non-game days, staff tickets to Magic home games, learning and development opportunities, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), company sponsored events, volunteer opportunities & outings for every employee
- Fantastic benefits that include: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company matching, mental wellness resources, subsidized gym memberships, maternity & paternity leave
- Culture built on Community, Innovation, Legendary and Teamwork
