The Role

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 Pittsburgh, PA. 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 Event Sales leadership, 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 Pittsburgh, PA property. The Event Coordinator is a part-time position (~30 hours/week) and pays $22.44/hour. This person will be required to work evenings, nights and weekends, based on the needs of the business and our guests.

  • Oversee all aspects of wedding and event planning, including venue setup, logistics, and day-of coordination to ensure flawless execution.

  • Partner with property leadership and non-property teams to ensure alignment on event goals and deliverables. 
  • Serve as the point of contact for clients, responding to inquiries, resolving issues, and providing exceptional service throughout the planning and event execution process. 
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to property and non-property team members, as well as vendors, to ensure successful event execution. 
  • 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 
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills and the ability to deliver a message clearly and professionally across varying levels of team members and external partners

  • Exceptional organizational and project management skills
