Help book the shows people wait in line for. Coalition Entertainment's internship program puts you inside the day-to-day of talent buying and live event production – real deals, real artists, real deadlines.

WHO WE ARE
Coalition Entertainment is a full-service entertainment firm specializing in Talent Buying, Festival & Event Operations, Artist Relations, Event Staffing, and Brand Consulting. We've booked, produced and promoted more than 2,000 events including festivals, conferences and shows at arenas, theaters, casinos, and clubs across the U.S, Mexico, Asia, and Canada.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This program is built for current students and recent graduates who want real experience at a working live music and events company, not busywork on the sidelines. Interns work directly alongside our talent buyers and producers, with exposure to live deal negotiations, artist relations, and event production from the inside.
The internship is remote and interns will need their own computer and internet access.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
We give our interns as many hands-on assignments as possible. Some of the day-to-day responsibilities for interns include the following:
• Support our talent buyers across a range of live clients and projects with direct exposure to how deals are negotiated, contracts are processed, and pitches are won.
• Build target lists of prospective artists and conduct talent and market research on new and upcoming artists.
• Manage internal show files to keep contracts, riders and W-9s complete and current through day of show.
• Research new business opportunities and potential client targets based on industry trends.
• Draft offers, update grids, and support data entry across active deals.
• Take on additional projects as they come up - this list will grow as the internship progresses.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
• Firsthand insight into how live music deals get made, from first offer to signed contract.
• A working knowledge of talent research methodology used across the booking industry.
• Direct exposure to the operational side of festivals, tours, and live events.
