Job description

About Tixr
Tixr's on a mission to transform the ticket buying experience with a modern approach to a legacy business. Born from a fan-focused frame of mind, we empower large-scale events, music venues, and sports properties with modern, innovative solutions to their highly-complex ticketing and e-commerce needs. Our unified commerce platform is built for big, supporting all types of events, from festivals to global arena tours, and an almost limitless suite of commerce offerings beyond admission tickets.
The Opportunity
We're looking for high-agency graduate interns who want to help us solve meaningful problems at the intersection of live events, technology, and culture. We're less interested in polished resumes and more interested in sharp thinking, strong judgment, and the ability to turn ambiguity into momentum. If you're the type who can form a point of view quickly, test it in the real world, and iterate toward impact, we want to meet you.
This is a general, open internship application. We tailor projects around the right people.
Choose a track you're most excited about
When you apply, please select one primary area of interest:
  • Biz Ops
  • Sales Strategy + Operations
  • Product Management
What you might work on
Graduate interns typically take on more ownership and ambiguous problem spaces, such as:
  • Diagnosing a business problem, framing options, and recommending a path forward
  • Designing growth experiments and analyzing results (funnels, cohorts, attribution)
  • Building operating rhythms, dashboards, or lightweight systems that scale a team
  • Leveraging AI tooling to automate workflows, create leverage, or increase quality
You might be...
  • An MBA, Master's, or graduate student (or recent grad) looking for operating experience
  • Strong at structuring problems and communicating clearly to stakeholders
  • Comfortable moving fast, collaborating cross-functionally, and shipping practical work
  • Fluent in AI tools and modern experimentation workflows
  • Based in LA (or able to be on-site some of the time)
Details
  • Part-time internship (11-12 weeks), with potential to extend
  • Location: Hybrid (HQ in Santa Monica preferred)

Tixr is the largest and fastest-growing privately held primary ticketing and live event commerce marketplace in the world. We're a California-born-and-bred company that's still founder-owned and led to this day, and we support a global client base with staff across the US, Canada, and the UK. We exclusively power 500 of the most respected live entertainment brands in 40 countries, including Wynn Nightlife, Riot Fest, Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, Riot Games Arena, Luke Bryan's Crash My Playa, Sturgis Buffalo Chip, Lightning in a Bottle, San Jose Earthquakes, among many others.
