Known for its commitment to community involvement and fan engagement, the Detroit Tigers continuously innovate various programs and events to captivate and entertain fans throughout the baseball season.
The Fan Experience Seasonal Assistant role is a pivotal part of the Tigers Game Presentation and Fan Experience department. This seasonal position is dedicated to ensuring that every Detroit Tigers home game offers a memorable and engaging experience to fans attending games at Comerica Park.

In this capacity, the seasonal assistant will also manage the booking and coordination of entertainment groups and vendors that bring energy and excitement to theme nights and game day activations.

Additionally, the assistant will conduct research on trends and best practices within Major League Baseball and other professional sports to implement innovative enhancements to the events hosted at Comerica Park.
One of the key responsibilities includes taking ownership of specific programs such as the PAWS off-site and in-game appearances, the effective management of the game day entertainment team known as the Rally Cats, coordination of the Chevy Military Salute program, the planning and execution of Chevy Sunday Kids Days, and the booking of National Anthems, Honor Guards, Ceremonial First Pitches, Game Ball Delivery, and various other in-game elements.
Ideal candidates for this role will have earned or be in progress toward a bachelor’s degree in fields relevant to sports management, marketing, or business administration. A background or prior experience in sports or live entertainment industries is preferred, alongside excellent customer service abilities. The role demands individuals who can thrive in a high-energy, fast-paced environment, demonstrating strong organizational skills, attention to detail, effective communication skills, and creative problem-solving capabilities. Because this position requires regular on-site presence and involvement during games and special events, candidates must be available for the entire baseball season and willing to work extended hours including nights, weekends, and holidays.
