Job Description

Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid) | Position Type: Part-time, Summer Internship

Are you the friend who never misses kickoff, always knows where the watch party is, and somehow ends up behind the camera capturing every big moment?
Do you live for college football Saturdays, high-energy crowds, and social media content that feels as electric as game day itself? If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love sports culture, and know how to create hype both online and in person, this opportunity is for you.

Victory Lap is bringing sports bar energy to both West Campus and Rainey Street—creating the ultimate destination for game days, watch parties, tailgates, and unforgettable nights in Austin. Right next door on Rainey Street, Side Piece Pies is serving up late-night slices for fans long after the final whistle. Together, we’re building a sports-focused social experience unlike anywhere else in the city, and we’re looking for a Social Media & Events Intern to help bring it all to life.

You’ll work directly with our Marketing & Social Media teams to create content, support sports-focused events and activations, capture the action on game days, and help grow the buzz around all three locations. If you love sports, content creation, and being where the energy is highest, we want you on our team.
