The Upstate SC Alliance is a public-private nonprofit regional economic development organization, funded by 220+ private sector companies, local governments and the SC Department of Commerce. We work in partnership with 10 counties and member cities to market South Carolina’s Upstate as a destination for doing business and a location where talent wants to live and work.

One day you might be summarizing the region’s latest business news, hyping our quality of life on Move Up social, and building event registration pages.

Our annual event series includes a golf tournament, oyster roast, women’s events, and Annual Meeting with 700+ attendees — and the Communications & Events Coordinator helps ensure a fabulous guest experience from advance promotion to onsite encounters.

Our favorite part? It’s a people-oriented job with endless opportunities to learn and share.
