About the Role
The Coachella Valley Lakers are seeking a highly motivated and creative In-Game Presentation & Content Coordinator to support the team's marketing, content, social media, entertainment, and in-game presentation efforts throughout the season. This hands-on role combines day-to-day marketing support with live game and event execution.

This role will work closely with the CV Lakers marketing team and other internal and external partners to help deliver a consistent, engaging, and on-brand fan experience across digital channels, promotional initiatives, and game days.
About The Venue
America’s hottest music festival destination finally has the world-class arena it deserves. Now open, Acrisure Arena provides the greater Palm Springs area of Southern California with a premier 11,000+ capacity venue hosting the biggest artists and acts on the planet. We are #TheCoolestSpot in the desert, designed specifically for hockey and made for concerts. Acrisure Arena provides top-tier hospitality, artist amenities, and all the benefits of a modern music and sports venue to the Coachella Valley.
The Coachella Valley Lakers are the newest addition to the rapidly growing sports and entertainment landscape in the Coachella Valley. Formerly known as the South Bay Lakers, the team serves as the official NBA G League affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most iconic and successful franchises in global sports. Founded in 2006 as the Los Angeles D-Fenders, the organization has built a strong reputation for developing elite talent, supporting the NBA pipeline, and delivering a high level of competition within the G League. Backed by the championship legacy and global brand of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Coachella Valley Lakers embody a culture rooted in excellence, innovation, and player development.
This legacy, combined with Oak View Group’s success in launching Acrisure Arena and the Coachella Valley Firebirds in 2022, created a powerful foundation for continued growth. The transition to the Coachella Valley marks an exciting new chapter for the franchise, aligning with the region’s emergence as a premier destination for sports and live entertainment. Since the opening of Acrisure Arena in 2022, the desert has experienced significant momentum, highlighted by the success of the Coachella Valley Firebirds and a growing calendar of world-class events. The Coachella Valley Lakers will be managed by OVG in a similar fashion to the Coachella Valley Firebirds, playing a vital role in connecting with local fans, supporting regional development, and enhancing the overall sports scene in the desert.
