Shift Lead – Leadership Development Track – Launch Family Entertainment | Okemos, MI Part-Time | Flexible Scheduling Around Classes

Launch Lansing is hiring — and we're looking at MSU and LCC first.

Launch Family Entertainment in Okemos is a trampoline park, laser tag arena, café, and full-on family experience destination. We're a fast-moving, high-energy environment and we're building a team of sharp, people-first leaders — starting with you.

This isn't a "stand around and fold shirts" part-time job. From day one you'll be cross-training across every role in the building, and for the right person, there's a clear path to a full Shift Manager position with bonus-eligible pay.

What This Role Actually Is You'll spend your first weeks learning every position at Launch — Court Monitor, Cashier, Krave Café, Laser Tag Marshal, Party Host — so you understand the operation from the ground up. As you develop, you'll take on shift leadership responsibilities: helping open and close, guiding newer team members, and making real-time decisions on the floor.

This is a legitimate leadership development role, not a title with no substance behind it.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Cross-training across all park roles and operations
  • Supporting shift leads and managers on busy evenings and weekends
  • Helping create an awesome guest experience every shift
  • Mentoring and setting the tone for younger crew members
  • Growing into shift leadership responsibilities over time

You're a Great Fit If You:

  • Have experience leading people in any context — RA, orientation leader, team captain, club officer, camp counselor, youth coach, or similar
  • Stay calm and focused when things get busy and unpredictable
  • Actually enjoy working with kids, teens, and families
  • Are looking for more than just a paycheck — you want something that builds real skills
  • Have evening and weekend availability (we work around your class schedule)

Experience & Requirements:

  • Currently enrolled at MSU, LCC, or a nearby college/university
  • Customer service or people-facing experience a plus — but campus leadership counts
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Must be 18+ with reliable transportation
  • Able to work 15–25 hours/week, including evenings and weekends
  • Located in or near the Okemos/Lansing area

Preferred but not required: ServSafe, CPR certification

Compensation & Growth:

  • Competitive hourly pay
  • Flexible scheduling built around your academic calendar
  • Employee discount
  • Paid time off
  • Promotion path to full Shift Manager — including monthly performance bonuses averaging an additional $1–$5/hr — for those who demonstrate the right leadership over time

The Bottom Line If you've got energy, a steady head, and you like the idea of actually running something — not just working in it — we want to talk. Launch Lansing is a place where good people move up fast.

Apply on Handshake and tell us a little about yourself. We're excited to meet you.
