Department

During your 10 weeks with us in WME Sports, in addition to learning about the sports department that you are part of day to day (basketball, football, baseball, or golf), you will also have the opportunity to work with and learn across our sports business. These areas include: 1) Client Marketing/Sales/Client Marketing Strategy where there is a focus on sales research, sales analysis, building talent brand decks - updates, support, and research, sponsor and brand research; 2) Non-Scripted TV/Broadcasting/Sports Media Rights; and 3) Talent Ventures.

Additionally, some of our internships are paired with our Coaching and NIL departments. We have WME Sports Internship opportunities in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas.

There will also be the opportunity for experiences like Client Q&A sessions, Speaker series, the NBA Draft, and other events depending on your internship and location.

We're looking for students who have dreamed of working in sports and have an interest in the talent representation business.

Essential Responsibilities
• During your 10 weeks with WME Sports, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the sports marketing and talent representation business.
• You'll have the opportunity to assist with marketing research (brands, athletes, etc.), client strategy with regards to off-the-field pursuits (player charities, etc.).

Qualifications
• We're looking for candidates with a passion for sports and knowledge about football and/or basketball. You don't have to play to be considered, however, do need to have a genuine interest in the sport.
• We're also looking for candidates with creativity, those who are excited to cold call and drive deals.
• If you are resourceful, attentive to details, have work ethic, curiosity, and interest in learning about the talent representation business, this could be the internship for you.
• Successful interns will have the opportunity to be considered for full-time roles upon graduation. This would require living in the Chicago area, and we'd like candidates who are excited about that possibility.
