About this role
Who we are: We’re the West Michigan Whitecaps, High-A Minor League affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The Whitecaps are in the fun business and our mission is to provide affordable family entertainment that strengthens the West Michigan community. We create memorable experiences by offering a fun, friendly and inclusive environment. We pride ourselves on our stellar customer service and our dedication to providing friendly faces, open minds, and our time and energy to our fans. We’ve been here for 30 years and are ready to be here for at least 30 more.
Why we want you: We are an ever growing company with entities like Traverse City Pit Spitters, Midwest Dots, and GameTime Fun Park. With that growth, our IT department needs you! You have a basic knowledge of computers and are looking to pick up some hours each week. You are always up for learning new things and yet you are detail oriented and ok with some repetition. You work hard, play nice, and appreciate a good dad joke.
Why you want to work here: We sum up our mission in three words: Fun. Community. Experiences. When you join our team, you become a part of our culture and our story – we’re small enough that you’ll have an ability to put your stamp on things. We’ve got an all-hands-on-deck mentality and pitch in when something needs done. We work very hard but we don’t take ourselves too seriously; we realize how important things like office darts and puppy visits and staff happy hours are. Plus, besides the typical benefits, free baseball tickets (your friends will love you!), paid volunteer time, a free health club membership, and opportunities to get discounted or free tickets to various shows and events in West Michigan. We’re also pretty great people to work with.
What you’ll do: You will do some basic computer troubleshooting, user management, and equipment inventory. You will also work with other departments to have workstations prepared for new users and clean-up workstations as users leave. Like the rest of us, you’ll also wear many hats for different games and events, and you’ll also tarp the field a few times…. You’ll have fun doing it all!
What you need: You'll need a basic knowledge of PCS and Microsoft Windows. Previous experience with Microsoft 365, Linux, and MACs preferred. You’ll need a good attitude, communication skills, interpersonal skills, and willingness to work some interesting hours in order to get the job done. A strong baseball or sports knowledge obviously wouldn’t hurt!
Let’s do this: If you’re ready to apply, we look forward to getting to know you. Submit your resume and drop us a cover letter letting us know why you’d be a good fit. We’ll be in touch!
