Harvard Athletics Equipment Intern

Harvard Athletics - Equipment Internship 

The Athletics Equipment Department seeks two 10-month interns. Successful applicants must be enrolled in a degree or certificate-granting program with an accredited college or university that will grant you academic credit for your internship (no particular amount of credit needed). Please do not apply if you cannot meet this requirement.

The internships start in August 2026 and end in May 2027 (some flexibility on dates).

You will report directly to the Assistant Director of Athletics – Equipment Operations. You will be exposed to all aspects of managing the day-to-day equipment function for our 42 Varsity sports. You will learn how to order and purchase athletic equipment; manage an equipment budget; and control inventory. You will support a select group of teams, working directly with coaches, student-athletes and athletics administrators. 

You should have strong organizational, interpersonal, and computer skills as well as a valid driver's license. Evening and weekend work will be required.  

Our philosophy is to provide interns with hands-on experience that shows them what goes into running a Division I Athletics program. We also run an Intern Development Program, consisting of informal monthly breakfast or lunch meetings with athletics administrators and coaches, so you can get practical insights into careers in sports management and build your network.

We ask that you commit to working for the duration of the internship. You will generally work 40 hours per week unless otherwise noted – if you work more than 40 hours per week, you will be paid overtime. Evening and weekend work will be required. Wage is $15 an hour. Your schedule may vary to accommodate evening and weekend work. There may be times when you will work in extreme weather conditions (heat, cold, rain). 

You will also get free use of our athletic facilities, including our Olympic-sized pool; fitness center; and indoor tennis courts.
