  • Maintain meticulous attention to detail to effectively represent and deliver key messaging for our corporate partners.
  • A strong, distinct voice is required.
  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS:
  • Due to the nature of this role's event and gameday work, the employee must live within a commutable distance from the Salt Lake City area for the duration of the season.
  • Evening and weekend work will be required, encompassing every Utah Jazz home game with potential opportunities to host various partner events or corporate activations.
