The Role:
Work is about more than meetings and milestones - it's about the shared moments in between. The right moments can turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary one, helping people feel connected and inspired.
The Workplace Experience & Activation Manager is the person behind those moments. As part of the Brand Culture and Workplace Experience team at Cox Enterprises, you'll lead the full lifecycle of workplace events and programs that drive engagement and reinforce the company's culture and employment brand. This role is primarily based in the office four days per week, with one remote day. Occasional evening and weekend work is needed to support events and campaigns, with minimal travel involved (approximately 10-15%).
If you're passionate about creating memorable experiences, we'd love to hear from you!
What You'll Do:
You'll bring people together through thoughtful, well-executed events and workplace experiences that connect employees to our values and to each other. From concept to wrap-up, you'll lead the planning, promotion and execution of regional and enterprise-wide programs. You will:
- Plan and lead workplace events and engagement campaigns, from recurring programs to large-scale experiences.
- Own events from end to end, bringing goals to life through clear plans, strong logistics and seamless execution.
- Serve as the on-site lead, managing registration, vendors and real-time problem solving.
- Partner with communications and creative teams to promote events and build awareness.
- Manage budgets, timelines and production plans to keep programs on track.
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to understand audience needs and define success.
- Act as a liaison between business partners, creative teams and operational stakeholders.
- Track participation, feedback and performance metrics to improve future events.
- Share post-event insights and recommendations.
- Manage branded employee merchandise campaigns and activations, ensuring alignment with brand standards, seasonal priorities, and workplace experience initiatives.
- Partner with stakeholders on in-store merchandising, inventory planning, and physical retail activations for the on-campus company store.
Who You Are (and Qualifications):
You're a natural connector who brings ideas to life in memorable ways. You see the big picture and notice every detail, balancing strategy with flawless execution. Here's what else you bring to the table:
- Bachelor's degree in a related field and 6 years of relevant experience. The right candidate could also have a different combination, such as a master's degree and 4 years' experience; a Ph.D. and 1 year of experience; or 10 years' experience in a related field without a degree.
- Strong project and program management skills, including planning, budgeting, scheduling and execution.
- Hands-on experience managing pre-event planning, on-site execution, and post-event wrap-up activities.
