The Peoria Rivermen are proud members of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL), delivering heart-pounding action and unforgettable memories to fans all season long. With a loyal fan base and a mission to grow the game in our community, we’re looking for energetic, driven professionals to join our sales team and help pack Carver Arena every night.
The Role:

- Keep accurate sales and contact records in our CRM system.
What We’re Looking For:
- High-energy, competitive personality with a love for sports and live events.
- 1–2 years of sales or customer-facing experience (sports or entertainment industry experience is a bonus, but not required).
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to connect with people in person, over the phone, and via email.
- Self-motivated with a desire to exceed expectations and grow your career.
- Willingness to work evenings, weekends, and holidays — because game nights are where the magic happens.
Perks & Benefits:
- Base salary + uncapped commissions (your hard work = your paycheck).
- Complimentary tickets to share with family and friends.
