Why you’ll love working here

Flexible work location

Your understanding and familiarity with the Atlanta business community will be an essential part of the role. You will be working fully remote initially, and always partially remote even when it's safe to go back to an office. We want you to do your best work, with flexibility, in office on occasion and then networking with sponsors, attending games and wherever you're most comfortable, on the deck or in your home office! 

Rest & recharge

Take your vacation – no, seriously, we encourage everyone to take time out for anything but work! We back this up by starting our team off with great paid time-off perks that we want you to use! From year one, you will be provided 4 weeks of PTO, that’s just the beginning. In addition, we take the standard public holidays, there’s a floating day, a Community Impact Day for volunteering & Juneteenth. And, as your tenure grows with the company, so does your PTO.

Peace of mind comes with great benefits

Several healthcare plans to choose from, your own health savings account the company generously contributes to, dental, vision insurance, gee even Fido can have his own pet care plan to cover his vet costs!

We also pay the base premium for short-term, long-term disability and life insurance. We know that you will do your best work when those essentials are taken care of, so let us do that for you.
