Marketing Communications Intern

Since 1984, San Antonio Sports has put San Antonio on the global stage. From NCAA Championships to the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio Marathon, now the San Antonio Marathon, the premier events we’ve host have delivered more than $1 billion for our local economy. But we are not just about big games. We are a nonprofit organization that works every day to transform our community through the power of sport.
San Antonio Sports (SAS) internships provide an excellent opportunity to gain experience in many facets and areas that are involved in planning, executing, and promoting events in the San Antonio area. The intern will contribute to marketing materials (traditional, digital and social) that will be implemented in the marketplace and have an opportunity to build a portfolio of work.
The ideal candidate will be a self-motivated individual with the ability to think outside the box and function well in a team environment. This will be a hands-on position with the intern exposed to various areas of marketing and communications, with the opportunity to learn more about youth programs and the event management process.
This position is available per semester at a rate of $12/hour with 15-20 hours per week required. Other internship positions may be accommodated as non-paid to include credit hours as determined by the internship program guidelines of the respective college or university.
