Collaborative Real Estate (CRE) develops, manages, and activates real estate within university-affiliated research and innovation ecosystems. Our properties are designed to foster connection, collaboration, and long‑term community impact. Select CRE venues host curated events that align with our mission, brand standards, and operating philosophy.
The Role The Event Sales & Venue Experience Manager is responsible for selling select CRE event spaces in Tech Square / Midtown Atlanta and stewarding the client relationship from initial inquiry through post‑event load‑out.
This role serves as the primary venue representative, ensuring clarity, readiness, and on‑site oversight while maintaining clear boundaries between venue support and event production.
This is a relationship‑driven, operations‑oriented role focused on venue stewardship, expectation‑setting, and executional oversight, not hands‑on event planning or vendor management.
What You’ll Do
Lead tours of CRE event spaces and represent venues clearly and confidently
Respond to inbound event inquiries and guide clients through pricing, availability, and booking
Prepare and execute contracts and invoices in coordination with internal systems
Maintain an accurate event calendar and sales pipeline
Serve as the primary venue point of contact once contracts are executed
Provide high‑level guidance on venue‑specific requirements, including:
Approved and preferred vendors
Load‑in and load‑out parameters
Insurance and COI requirements
Space capabilities, restrictions, and policies
Coordinate and schedule site visits as needed
Collect and review required venue documentation (COIs, floor plans, timelines)
Confirm room layouts and space usage in alignment with venue standards
Clients and event hosts are responsible for vendor coordination, event programming, and production execution.
Be present on site during events as the venue representative
Provide venue access and ensure approved layouts and timetables are followed
Serve as the primary point of contact for venue‑related questions or issues
Troubleshoot and expedite venue‑related concerns in real time
Enforce venue policies and protect the integrity of the space
Post‑Event Walkthrough & Space Reset
Conduct post‑event walkthroughs
Document damages, cleaning issues, or policy violations
Ensure space reset and readiness for the next scheduled use
Coordinate internal follow‑up related to venue condition as needed
What Success Looks Like
Clients clearly understand venue expectations and responsibilities
Events run smoothly with minimal venue‑related friction or surprises
Event spaces are protected, respected, and efficiently reset
Internal teams and clients trust you as the single source of truth for venue support
What We’re Looking For
2+ years of experience in event sales, venue management, hospitality, or operations
Strong client‑facing communication and relationship‑building skills
Highly organized and comfortable managing multiple events and priorities
Confident setting clear boundaries and expectations
Calm, professional presence in live event environments
Willingness to occasionally work outside of regular business hours
Nice to Have
Experience supporting multi‑use or high‑volume event venues
Familiarity with COIs, venue policies, and event logistics
Strong judgment around when to step in versus when to remain hands‑off
