Streaming Service Pandora Will Create 250 Jobs In Atlanta

One of the largest music streaming services will create 250 jobs in Atlanta.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said in a news release Wednesday that Pandora will expand its presence over the next three years. The company, based in California, plans to hire for positions in product and engineering, sales, client services, legal and human resources.

Deal calls Pandora’s expansion an “investment” to a highly-skilled Atlanta workforce.

“With this expansion, Pandora will benefit from the strategic resources available to digital leaders operating in Georgia, as well as close proximity to our vibrant arts and entertainment communities,” Deal said.

Pandora CEO Roger Lynch says Atlanta is a proper place to expand because of the city’s rich music history, startup company culture and extensive higher education community.

“Like Pandora, Atlanta sits at the nexus of music and technology,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in a statement.
