WHO YOU ARE:

Team Lead is a hands-on, early-leadership role built for high-potential individuals ready to step up. You’ll rotate through key operational areas – Sales & Service, Parties & Events, and Food & Beverage/Facilities – gaining real responsibility, leadership experience, and the skills to run a shift like a pro.

No need to be a fully developed manager just dependable, driven, and ready to learn.  You’re the kind of person who shows up, jumps in, and sets the tone.  When senior leaders aren’t on-site, we’ll count on you to step in as Manager on Duty (MOD) and keep the park running strong.

HOW YOU BRING OUR MISSION TO LIFE:

You lead from the floor and set the tone for your team by jumping in and helping the park run at its best.  You’ll grow your skills and make a real impact by delivering excellence in these key areas:

Leadership & Operations

• Act as Manager on Duty (MOD) when GM/OM are not present, ensuring operational excellence, safety compliance, and team accountability.

  • Oversee maintenance of equipment, attractions, and cleanliness across the park ensuring all is safe, clean, and in good working condition.
  • Lead facilities projects to elevate the guest experience and maintain a “best-in-class” look and feel.

• *Part-time Flex Lead (not available at all park locations)
  • Available primarily on weekends to help drive service and engagement.
  • Rotates as needed to cover breaks and time off for other Leads.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM:

Success in this role starts with the right mindset, the drive to lead, and a solid foundation.  Here’s what that looks like:

• You must be at least 18 years of age or older.
• Minimum of 2 years of progressive experience in operations or guest-facing roles, ideally in a fast-paced environment.
• Prior supervisory or leadership experience.
• Background in retail sales, food & beverage, amusement/entertainment, or recreation strongly preferred.
• Basic proficiency with technology, including point-of-sale (POS) systems and tools like Microsoft Office Suite and Teams; comfortable learning new platforms as needed.
• Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays when the park (and the magic) is most alive.
• Reliable, self-motivated, organized, and eager to grow into higher levels of responsibility.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to motivate, coach, and positively influence others.
• Curiosity about how daily operations connect to the bigger picture, including shift flow, guest experience, safety, and team performance.
• A hands-on, team-first mindset, you’re quick jump in where needed and support others without being asked.
• A strong sense of personal ownership, you show up prepared, follow through on responsibilities, and lead by example.
• Sound judgment and the ability to stay respectful, calm, and coachable in high-pressure moments.
• Ability to move throughout all areas of the park, interact with guests and team members in a high-energy, often loud environment, and lift and carry a minimum of 20 pounds as needed, with or without reasonable accommodation.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS:

Team Leads are future leaders in training.  You help create a positive park culture by showing up with energy, integrity, and care.  You set the tone for the team, support park operations in real time, and step into leadership moments that help everyone succeed.

This isn’t about having it all figured out – it’s about having the drive to grow, the awareness to improve, and the character to lead with trust.  If you’re ready to make an impact, grow your skills, and lead with heart, we’d love to have you on the team.
