Hybrid Sports Management Intern: Operations & Client Work

Wayne State University; Boston (MA); On-site; Full time

Job description

We are seeking a motivated and detail‑oriented intern to join our team through our Sports Management & Operations Internship. This is a hands‑on opportunity to work directly within an active client engagement with a prominent competitive youth sports club, contributing to real projects alongside experienced consulting professionals. Candidates who are passionate about the business side of sports and eager to build practical, career‑ready skills are strongly encouraged to apply.

As an intern, you will support day‑to‑day operations and client‑facing activities, assist with scheduling, communications, reporting, and project coordination, and help manage logistics for meetings, presentations, and key deliverables. You will also contribute to research, data organization, and internal workflows while serving as a reliable and adaptable member of a fast‑moving team.

We are looking for candidates currently enrolled in a college or university program, preferably in sports management, business, communications, or a related field. Strong organizational skills, sharp attention to detail, and clear professional communication – both written and verbal – are essential. The ideal candidate is a self‑starter who can manage tasks independently, pivot when priorities shift, and bring genuine enthusiasm for how the sports industry operates behind the scenes.

This position is available on a part‑time or full‑time basis. Full‑time candidates will work on‑site 2‑3 days per week at the client location, with remaining days remote. Compensation is available through hourly pay or academic credit depending on candidate preference and school requirements.
