Victory Lap Social Media & Events Summer Intern - Sports & Hospitality

Where are you on game day—and what are you posting about it?

Are you the one who’s already thinking about the angle, the clip, and the caption while everyone else is just watching? The one rallying the group, capturing the energy, and turning moments into something people actually want to share?

At LV Collective, we’re building some of the most high-energy hospitality brands in the country—and social media is at the center of it. As part of our team supporting Victory Lap and Side Piece Pies at our Ohio State location, you won’t just post content—you’ll create it in real time, turning game days, nights out, and unforgettable moments into buzz that drives real engagement and real traffic.

This role lives at the intersection of content and experience. You’ll be hands-on with capturing the action, creating scroll-stopping posts, and helping bring events to life both online and on the ground. From Buckeye football Saturdays to March Madness and beyond, you’ll tap into the moments that matter and translate them into content that hits.

You don’t just consume content—you study it. You know what works, what flops, and why. You’re constantly thinking about hooks, trends, and how to stand out. And just as importantly, you’re a natural connector—someone who knows where the energy is, how to bring people together, and how to turn a good time into something bigger.

If you love content creation, thrive in fast-paced environments, and know how to build excitement both behind the camera and in front of it, you’ll fit right in.
