About The Position

The Game Day Operator runs the court and welcomes athletes on game nights. Depending on the seat assigned by the Game Day Lead, the operator works at the score table, handles check-in, or helps set up the gym. The role ensures games are accurate, on time, and streamed, while making athletes feel welcomed and supported. The League Manager hires, schedules, and develops operators; the Game Day Lead trains and leads them on the floor. Strong performance can lead to floor leadership. The operator manages scorekeeping and timing, sets up and monitors the BallerTV stream, welcomes and checks in athletes, helps keep games fair and on schedule, and assists with gym setup and breakdown. Operators rotate among roles as assigned, escalate disputes and emergencies appropriately, follow uniform and conduct standards, and complete training, a shadow shift, and certification before working solo. This is a permanent part-time, on-site position in Seattle, Washington (Capitol Hill), with game-night shifts roughly 6 p.m. to midnight, including weekends. The expected compensation is $21.30 USD per hour. Benefits listed include growth and mentorship opportunities, and paid time off, sick leave, and health coverage in accordance with state minimums; further details are provided during the interview process.
