The Guardians Fellowship program is designed to accelerate the pace of development and impact for people interested in working for our organization. Fellowship roles are focused on solving complex challenges and developing new approaches, tools, and techniques to meaningfully drive the organization forward. 

The Guardians are seeking Fellows to join their Amateur Scouting department. Each Fellow will collaborate with and be a resource for the Amateur Scouting staff. Fellows will be expected to manage the collection of multiple data streams on amateur players to prepare the organization for acquisition opportunities.  

The ideal candidate will be curious, creative, open-minded, and excited to work in a collaborative and rapidly changing environment. The candidate will be able to clearly communicate with others, build trusting relationships, and execute the organization’s vision through passion, resourcefulness, and strategic thinking. They will take the initiative to advance the Guardians’ procedures and philosophies, especially related to the Major League Baseball draft.  

The Cleveland Guardians are committed to developing and maintaining an environment that embraces all forms of diversity to enrich our core values, enhance our competitive position, strengthen our impact within our community, and foster a greater sense of belonging for our employees.
