As part of a dynamic ticket office leadership team, you'll take primary responsibility for a reserved seating sport - such as football, men's basketball, women's basketball, or hockey - while helping shape and elevate the overall ticketing strategy. Reporting to the Director of Ticketing, this role blends leadership, innovation, and hands-on execution to ensure every fan interaction is smooth, engaging, and memorable.

If you're a problem-solver who thrives under pressure, enjoys leading teams, and is excited by the energy of live events, this is your opportunity to make an impact.
