Sustainability Coach

A professional basketball team and state-of-the-art arena / entertainment venue that specializes in creating memorable experiences for each guest we interact with. Some of our favorite things are live sports, concerts, comedy shows, family shows, and most any other world-class event you can think of, and we're looking for someone who shares the same interests. We live for the fast-paced world of sports & live entertainment, and as such, we work hard, run fast, execute flawlessly, and party it up when it all comes together. Lastly, we strive to deliver wonderful experiences that create lasting memories, and we prefer to surround ourselves with those who are the best at what they do.

An enthusiastic lover of sports, live entertainment, and people. You have true passion for engaging in meaningful interactions and creating memorable experiences for all guests. You strive to be helpful, engaging, and knowledgeable of all things Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena. You enjoy being a part of an exciting and dynamic group, and you're committed to continuously enhancing the productivity and effectiveness of your team. Lastly, you enjoy working hard and celebrating hard, and you'd be shocked if guests weren't positively impacted by their interactions with you.

The Sustainability Coach is a Zero Waste Supervisor, responsible for overseeing daily operations that maintain State Farm Arena's year-round zero-waste status. This role manages the sorting team to ensure safe and efficient waste diversion, upholds organizational standards in zero-waste areas, coordinates the hauling schedule, and oversees the storage and logistics of materials for donation, reuse, and recycling. This role requires a highly dedicated, detail-oriented, hands-on leader committed to achieving zero-waste goals across all events.

  • Communicate clearly and effectively with Zero Waste Team Leads and Sorters.
  • Oversee team paperwork for all shifts (timesheets, paychecks, incident reports, etc.).
  • Transport volunteers, sub-contractors, and other personnel in and out of the arena as needed.
  • Provide daily updates to the Hawks' Sustainability Manager

Waste Sorting & Operations Management

  • Hand-sort waste daily / nightly, ensuring all materials are properly sorted.
  • Ensure all sorting equipment is used correctly and safely.
  • Maintain organized storage and prepare donations or valuable waste items for local recyclers and organizations.
  • Complete shift checklists for pre-event, event, and post-event tasks.
  • Schedule hauls and transport recyclables to vendors to prevent sorting room overflow.
  • Data Management & Reporting

  • Collect data and maintain databases including weights, times, costs, hauls, and material types.
  • Utilize Hawks' work order software for reporting equipment malfunctions and tracking operations.
  • Conduct audits to ensure compliance and operational efficiency.
  • Logistics & Problem Solving

  • Maintain waste infrastructure inventory and manage storage and logistics.
  • Prioritize tasks and problem-solve in fast-paced sorting operations to ensure smooth workflow.
  • Requirements

  • Experience managing teams.
  • Experience operating a forklift.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).
  • Ability to lift, push, and pull heavy equipment (up to 200 lbs).
  • Ability to work a non-standard schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
  • Experience and interest in sustainability practices.
  • Punctual, reliable, and clear communicator.
  • Positive attitude and consistent motivation to work.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with all departments.
  • Experience in hand-sorting waste or similar materials.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Bilingual in English and Spanish.
  • Prior experience in a zero-waste or recycling-focused environment.
  • Familiarity with waste tracking systems or work order software.
  • We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, marital or veteran status, or any other protected class.

    If this opportunity looks exciting to you, please complete the application process. Go Hawks!
