Indianapolis Indians Open Partnership Activation Assistant Internship

The Indianapolis Indians opened an application window for a partnership activation assistant position on TeamWork Online, offering a monthly stipend of $1,750 for the 2027 minor league baseball season.

The Triple-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates posted the full-time internship listing for a candidate to work out of downtown Indianapolis. The position runs from February 2, 2027, through September 29, 2027.

The role requires at least 40 hours per week in addition to all home games and public events hosted at Victory Field. Applicants must be senior college students or recent graduates with a degree in sports marketing, management, or a related field.

Victory Field opened in 1996 and seats 13,000 fans. The venue has led Minor League Baseball in combined total attendance over the past 15 seasons, earning recognition as the Ballpark Digest Team of the Year in 2018 and a Best Places to Work designation from the Indiana Chamber of Commerce in 2019.

The selected assistant will report directly to the partnership activation coordinator within the corporate sales department. Responsibilities center on managing corporate accounts, drafting contracts for account executives, and maintaining inventory spreadsheets.

Staff in this role serve as the primary point of contact for clients sponsoring team events. Duties also involve executing proof of performance processes, updating internal databases, and preparing ticket-related mailings.

Game-day tasks extend far beyond office administration. Assistants coordinate on-field activities for the Rowdie Crew, manage youth baseball activations, and assist mascot appearances.

The physical demands of the job are substantial during the playing season. Workers may log up to 14 hours per day and 85 hours per week, handling ballpark setup, teardown, and field maintenance tasks such as pulling the tarp and clearing fireworks debris.

Minimum qualifications specify that applicants must possess strong organizational skills, cash-handling experience, and proficiency in Microsoft Office applications. Candidates must also demonstrate an eagerness to learn the sports sales industry.

The position is exempt and offers a fixed $1,750 monthly stipend. Work schedules will regularly include nights, weekends, and holidays throughout the 2027 season.

The team continues to evaluate applications submitted through the TeamWork Online platform ahead of the February start date.
