Role Details Location: Austin, Texas, including attendance at game-day and on-campus events Arrangement: Full-time or part-time. Part-time candidates are expected to commit a minimum of 20 hours per week. Paid internship Your Adventure Ahead • Own the Longhorns partnership day to day: keep creative, NIL athlete content, and communication plans on schedule from brief to launch. • Run activations: coordinate logistics for in-stadium and on-campus moments, such as sweepstakes, tabling, and promotions. • Work with NIL athletes and creators: manage timelines, deliverables, and approvals. • Track what’s working: monitor landing-page traffic and conversions from the partnership, and suggest improvements. • Keep things moving: maintain the open-items tracker and flag blockers to the GM early. • Pitch in on wider US marketing: social and newsletter content, market research, performance reporting, and decks for the GM. Essentials to Succeed • Current student or recent graduate in Marketing, Communications, Business, Sport Management, or a related field. • Strong organization skills. You can juggle creative, people, and logistics without dropping threads. • Clear writing and confidence speaking up.

Bonus points • You follow college sports, NIL, or creator marketing closely. • Experience with Canva, HubSpot, Mailchimp, or similar tools. • Previous event, campus org, or social media experience. What You’ll Gain • End-to-end ownership of a live, high-profile university partnership from execution through results. • Hands-on experience working directly with leadership across creative, growth, and partnerships. • Exposure to NIL, creator programs, and digital conversion in a fast-growing company. • Mentorship and training from experienced professionals.
