The City of Atlanta is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Georgia and the county seat of Fulton County. It operates as a major metropolitan government providing municipal services to hundreds of thousands of residents and is one of the largest employers in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Public safety is a core function: the city runs both a Police Department and a Fire Department, alongside agencies covering transportation, city planning, finance, law, human resources and general administration.
Services are delivered across nine named departments and offices, including the Mayor's Office and the Atlanta City Council. The city operates under a mayor-council form of government, with the Mayor as chief executive and the City Council as the legislative body. Work spans the industries of public safety, transportation, parks and recreation, urban planning and finance, and the city states a focus on improving infrastructure and quality of life for Atlantans.
Technically, the city maintains digital government platforms for online service delivery, municipal information systems, and payments and permitting technology. An online resident services platform handles bill payments, permit applications and service requests, with citizen engagement delivered through various digital channels. Career opportunities are available across numerous departments, based in Atlanta, Georgia.
