Game Operations Intern

About the Role

Do you thrive in high-energy environments where no two days are the same? Are you passionate about live events and sports entertainment? The Athens Rock Lobsters is looking for a Game Operations Intern to join our team and help bring our game days to life. This in-office internship provides hands-on experience in event coordination, production planning, and game-day execution.

You’ll play a key role in making sure our operations run smoothly — from coordinating pregame materials to supporting real-time show adjustments. If you're organized, proactive, and excited about working behind the scenes in live entertainment, this is the opportunity for you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create and Organize Game Day Materials
    Prepare staff schedules, run-of-show documents, logistics checklists, and access guides in advance of each event.
  • Proofread and Edit Documents
    Review internal and external communications for clarity, consistency, and professionalism.
  • Update Game Day Scripts and Timing Sheets
    Collaborate with the team to input script changes and ensure all departments are aligned on the latest version.
  • Print and Distribute Event Materials
    Assemble and deliver cue sheets, credentials, signage, and more to staff and talent before each game.
  • Coordinate with Special Guests & Performers
    Communicate logistics to anthem singers, halftime acts, and other on-site groups; assist with arrival and performance coordination on game day.
  • Track Game Day Deliverables and Deadlines
    Monitor and follow up on assets from other departments such as sponsor reads, videos, and promotional content.
  • Manage the Night Sheet on Game Days
    Help maintain real-time updates to the production log during live events.
  • Assist with Staffing Communication and Scheduling
    Help coordinate interviews and onboarding tasks for part-time or game day staff.
  • General Game Operations Support
    Be a go-to team player assisting with logistics, rehearsals, supplies, and problem-solving before, during, and after games.

What We’re Looking For

  • Highly organized and detail-oriented
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and basic scheduling tools
  • Available to work in-office regularly, especially leading up to and on game days
  • Passion for sports, live events, or entertainment production is a plus!

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, marital or veteran status, or any other protected class.
