Who We Are:
Atlanta Tech Village is America’s 4th largest tech hub, serving 300 different startups in the heart of Buckhead and now expanding to South Downtown Atlanta with two distinct locations: a tech-focused hub (ATV Sylvan) and a neighborhood business hub.
We believe entrepreneurship is the greatest mechanism for changing the world and provides the support and resources needed to help Founders start and grow a technology company and for both tech and local businesses to thrive.

The Position:
The Events Manager will be integral to the success of ATV by managing internal and external events from start to finish across all our locations.

This role reports directly to the Director of Partnerships. This is a split in-person role between ATV Buckhead (3423 Piedmont Rd. NE) and ATV Sylvan (235A Mitchell Street NW).
