Oakland, CA
Full Time
Student (High School)

Are you competitive, motivated, and passionate about being part of a winning team? Do you enjoy setting goals, challenging yourself, and working with others to achieve results?

At [Company Name], we believe the mindset that drives success in sports—teamwork, discipline, resilience, and a willingness to improve—can also help build a successful professional career.

We are expanding our event marketing team and looking for sports-minded individuals to join us as Entry-Level Marketing Associates.

In this role, you'll support face-to-face marketing campaigns, promotional events, and brand activations while developing valuable skills in marketing, communication, customer engagement, and business development.

No previous marketing experience is required. We provide training, coaching, and ongoing support to help you learn the role and develop professionally.

If you're ready to bring your energy, competitive spirit, and team-first attitude into a new environment, we want to hear from you!

What You'll Do

  • Represent our clients at promotional events, live campaigns, and brand activations.
  • Engage with customers and event attendees in a friendly, professional manner.
  • Introduce relevant products, services, and promotional campaigns using approved information.
  • Work with team members to support campaign goals and deliver positive customer experiences.
  • Develop communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Participate in team meetings, training sessions, and performance feedback.
  • Learn how successful marketing campaigns are planned and executed.
  • Demonstrate initiative, accountability, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
  • Support event preparation, promotional displays, and campaign activities.
  • Take on additional responsibilities as your skills and experience grow.

What We're Looking For

We welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds, including sports, athletics, fitness, hospitality, retail, customer service, and other team-oriented environments.

You may be a great fit if you are:

  • Competitive and motivated to achieve goals.
  • A team player who enjoys collaborating with others.
  • Coachable and open to constructive feedback.
  • Resilient when facing challenges.
  • Confident communicating with people, or eager to improve.
  • Dependable, professional, and willing to take initiative.
  • Interested in marketing, sales, business development, or leadership.

No marketing degree, previous sales experience, or professional sports background is required.

We value transferable skills, a positive attitude, and a genuine willingness to learn.

Training and Professional Development

Learn the fundamentals of event marketing, brand representation, customer engagement, and campaign execution through hands-on training.

A Team-Oriented Environment

Work alongside people who value collaboration, accountability, and shared success.

Opportunities to Develop

Why Sports-Minded Candidates?

Sports often teach valuable professional habits: preparing consistently, working toward measurable goals, supporting teammates, responding to feedback, and learning from setbacks.

We welcome people who have developed these qualities through athletics, recreational sports, fitness, student organizations, volunteering, or other experiences.

You don't need to be an athlete. What matters is your mindset, work ethic, and willingness to contribute.

Who Should Apply?

This opportunity is suitable for entry-level candidates, recent graduates, career starters, former student-athletes, and individuals looking to transition into a new career.

If you're ready to challenge yourself, learn new skills, and contribute to a team that values growth, we encourage you to apply.
