We believe play fuels confidence, connection, and joy, and we’re proud to create experiences that reflect that purpose in everything we do.
As the leader in active indoor entertainment, we host unforgettable birthdays, team events, and school parties across the country. Backed by our parent company, CircusTrix, and recognized as a top franchise and growth brand, we continue to raise the bar for innovation and impact in the industry.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
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.
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

- 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.

- 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 to 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.

Which companies sponsor visas for team leads in Minnesota?
Several large Minnesota employers have established records of sponsoring work visas for team lead positions. Target and Best Buy sponsor team leads in retail technology and operations. UnitedHealth Group and Optum sponsor in healthcare IT and operations management. Medtronic, 3M, and Cargill regularly hire team leads with H-1B visa sponsorship in engineering, supply chain, and data functions across the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area.
Which visa types are most common for team lead roles in Minnesota?
The H-1B visa is the most common pathway for team leads in Minnesota, particularly for roles in software engineering, data analytics, healthcare operations, and financial services where a relevant bachelor's degree is a standard requirement. The L-1A visa applies to international managers transferring within a multinational company. Australian nationals may qualify for the E-3 visa, which covers specialty occupations including team lead roles tied to a degree field.
Which cities in Minnesota have the most team lead sponsorship jobs?
The Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area accounts for the large majority of team lead sponsorship activity in Minnesota, driven by corporate headquarters and regional offices concentrated there. Minnetonka is notable for UnitedHealth Group and Optum campuses. Maplewood hosts 3M's global headquarters. Rochester has growing demand from IBM and Mayo Clinic for technical and operational team leads. Smaller markets like Duluth have limited sponsorship activity by comparison.
How to find team lead visa sponsorship jobs in Minnesota?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international candidates and filters team lead roles in Minnesota by visa sponsorship eligibility, so you are not sorting through listings that do not apply to you. The platform aggregates positions from employers with documented sponsorship history, which is particularly useful in Minnesota where sponsorship tends to concentrate in healthcare technology, financial services, and manufacturing sectors across the Twin Cities metro.
Are there state-specific factors that affect visa sponsorship for team leads in Minnesota?
Minnesota's concentration of Fortune 500 companies, including Target, UnitedHealth Group, and 3M, means many team lead sponsorships come through large, well-resourced employers with established immigration programs rather than startups. The University of Minnesota produces a significant pipeline of international graduates who transition into team lead roles in tech and healthcare, making employers in those sectors familiar with H-1B sponsorship processes specific to those fields.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored team lead jobs in Minnesota?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
