We create that feeling, with passionate people like you.

FORTH is thrilled to announce a variety of opportunities at our brand-new property opening summer 2024. It's a haven of luxury on the BeltLine's Eastside Trail that seamlessly combines a world-class hotel, an exclusive members club, exceptional dining experiences, and a holistic program of wellness treatments.

Manage banquet budgets and expenses, including forecasting, cost control, and profitability analysis, to maximize revenue and minimize costs while maintaining quality and guest satisfaction.

Maintain relationships with clients, vendors, and suppliers, negotiating contracts and pricing to ensure quality products and services are delivered on time and within budget.

Oversee setup and execution of banquet events, ensuring they are properly staffed, equipped, and decorated according to client specifications and hotel/restaurant standards.
