The Partnership Success Team is responsible for capitalizing on a passionate and loyal fan base by selling and executing various marketing elements across numerous advertising mediums. We are a passionate group who excel in a fun, fast-paced environment. No day is like the next, which we like. We are required to listen and effectively communicate with many prospective/current partners and sometimes most-of-all, with our internal channel owners. We put service at the heart of everything we do and our department intern plays a key role in supporting our team.

As our Partnership Success Intern, YOU Will:

Execute partner related programming. With a long list of team partners, there are hundreds of contracted elements that need to be fulfilled. You will be responsible to manage and fulfill numerous Corporate Partner programs throughout the season while working hand-in-hand with the activation team, internal channel owners and respective Corporate Partners.
Capture and catalog partner executions. Capturing key moments and specific partner executions during Wild home games is imperative for success. You will be provided with training to capture photos of in-game elements throughout each game during the season. After each game, the captured images will then be cataloged and used for proof of performance, recaps, and internal needs.
Fulfill prizing and donations. You will be responsible for fulfilling partner-related sweepstakes and donation requests. You will need to communicate correct information to sweepstakes winners, mail out prizes to winners and fulfill game night experiences.
Research and prospect. While a majority of your time will be spent fulfilling existing partner programming, you will also have the opportunity to support the sales team by researching prospective clients and other team partner activations.

YOU ARE A:

Focused Executor. We believe big ideas reap even bigger rewards when managed effectively. Everything we do touches people, so flawless execution is non-negotiable. Our work can be fast-paced and it can be easy to lose sight of the details, but that’s where the magic is at. With ruthless prioritization, we focus on getting things done quickly and flawlessly. Of course, we’re not perfect, so when mistakes are made, we step up, take responsibility and issue meaningful apologies when we’re wrong.
Resourceful Communicator. With a long list of deliverables and executions during a long season, detailed communication between all facets of our business, partners and fans is a necessity. We expect a Service First mentality when working with internal and external stakeholders.
Servant Leader. At the Wild, everything we do is grounded in serving. We serve our organization, each other, our fans and our community. Leadership is not a rank, it’s not about being in charge; it’s about taking care of those in our charge. We inspire those around us to dream more, learn more, do more and become more.
