Job description

Pay: $18.00 to $20.00 per hour based on experience. Type: W-2 part-time. Location: Atlanta, GA and Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Clayton counties.

The role

Every Wilkinson Firm crew has a designated Event Lead. You are the client's single point of contact on site: check-in, attire and readiness checks, deployment, problem solving, and the end-of-event report.

Atlanta is our headquarters market: hotels, conference centers, caterers and venues from downtown and Midtown to Buckhead, Perimeter, Gwinnett and the airport corridor.

What you do

• Check in the crew, verify attire and readiness, deploy to stations
• Serve as the client's on-site point of contact
• Solve problems on the floor and escalates when needed
• Submit the end-of-event report and timesheet confirmation

What we need

• 2 or more years in hospitality with supervisory or lead experience; Captain School graduates are preferred
• Black professional pants or slacks, black closed-toe non-slip shoes, professional grooming and appearance
• Reliable transportation and a working smartphone
• Eligible to work in the United States (I-9 and E-Verify)

What you get

• $18.00 to $20.00 per hour based on experience, W-2, paid biweekly by direct deposit
• Paid training before your first shift
• A written promotion path: event lead to event operations manager to market leadership
• Captain School, our paid leadership program, for people who want to lead
• Resume rewrite and mock interviews for everyone on the roster
• Schedules posted ahead; we tell you what the next 30 days of hours look like before you commit
• Shifts across Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Clayton counties

Who we are

The Wilkinson Firm is a premium hospitality and event staffing employer. Every hire is a W-2 employee, not a contractor: taxes handled, workers' compensation, and a real pay stub. We train before the first shift, run a paid leadership program called Captain School, rewrite your resume, run mock interviews, and promote from inside. Our clients are hotels, conference centers, caterers and venues. We consider qualified applicants with criminal histories. Our Atlanta hiring commitment: 500 W-2 hospitality jobs across Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Clayton counties, with a written promotion path for every one of them. This role is part of that commitment.
