Job description

A bit about us

At Placemakr, home meets hospitality. We’ve combined the best of apartment living, vacation rentals, and hotel stays into one experience. We partner with developers, property operators, and investors to curate a collection of apartment-like spaces in hand-picked neighborhoods. Our tech-enabled buildings create one-of-a-kind guest experiences and add tremendous value to the underlying real estate. Whether guests are with us for a night, a year, or somewhere in between, these are more than just spaces to spend the night — they’re a place to call home.

Our property team members help our buildings thrive by focusing on execution and ensuring a great experience for both residents and guests. Our non-property team members support property execution and the evolution of other areas within our platform. They can enjoy remote-first work with the freedom to choose their location — as long as they have access to a workspace and reliable Wi-Fi. We believe collaboration is key, so our remote-first teams and property leaders have biannual in-person get-togethers at various locations across the US.

From corporate non-property team members to our property teams and leaders, we’re looking for collaborative, driven individuals to join us as we continue to expand our presence.

The Impact You’ll Have

At Placemakr, we are obsessed with service and believe in providing exceptional experiences to our valued guests, residents, and partners. As an Event Coordinator, you will be the driving force behind executing events for the special event venue space at our Atlanta, GA. You’ll create seamless experiences, manage event logistics, and play a key role in building relationships that inspire repeat business and positive word-of-mouth. Reporting to the Director of Sales, the ideal candidate for the Event Coordinator position requires organization skills, an eye for detail, and the ability to multi-task, prioritize, and delegate duties are imperative. Excellent communication skills are required to create productive relationships with vendors and sponsors, which is key to a successful career.

This position is located on-site at our Atlanta, GA property.

The Event Coordinator will be required to work evenings, nights and weekends, based on the needs of the business and our guests.

This position is located on-site at our Atlanta, GA location. The pay rate for this position is $29/hr.

What You'll Do

• Oversee all aspects of day-of events, including venue setup, logistics, and day-of coordination to ensure flawless execution.
• Serve as the first point of contact for vendors and contractors, providing direction and support as needed.
• Support the Director of Sales with conducting property tours and educating potential clients on our event spaces and potential.
• Support with client communication - responding to inquiries, resolving issues, and providing exceptional service throughout the planning and event execution process.
• Build and maintain relationships with vendors and secure permits as needed for food, beverage, décor, entertainment, and other services.
• Partner with property leadership and non-property teams to ensure alignment on event goals and deliverables to ensure successful event execution.
• Monitor event areas during the event and ensure safety of all guests.
• Troubleshoot any issues that may arise during the event.
• Oversee the breakdown of events and ensure that all items are removed, and all event materials are stored properly following the event.
• Additional duties and responsibilities, as assigned.

What It Takes

• 2-3+ years of experience in event management, hospitality, or related fields (experience with wedding events management is a plus)

• Proficiency in project management, events or CRM software and tools is preferred
• Detail-orientation and a passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences to internal team members, clients and vendors alike

Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for our Event Managers and an exceptional guest experience.
