USA – Want to have the opportunity to come to work every day at an office located at the “Ballpark of the Year.”? Enjoy being around the game and wish that there was a way you could get paid for your passion? Well, possibilities may await you.

The Northwest Arkansas Naturals currently are hiring for two front office positions: Special Events Manager, and Account Executive, as well as several part-time seasonal positions.

The Special Events Manager position books, organizes, and identifies potential clients and partnerships for special events at Arvest Ballpark.
