EMPOWER TO BUILD

Helping others is one of the reasons I love my role at Cox. As Program Manager of the employee relief fund, I get to assist co-workers who have been impacted by natural disasters, injury or illness, or loss of a family member. I enjoy helping people and becoming an advocate for them.

I manage a staff of about 40 people who ensure the facilities and equipment are running smoothly at the Cox Atlanta campus. I also help keep costs down and further the company's commitment to sustainability by finding new ways to conserve resources. For example, my team recently eliminated underutilized vending machines to save energy and reduce the amount of expired food that had to be discarded. My team is happy to partner with Cox Conserves to support all the company's sustainability efforts. And I try to take many of the lessons learned at work and instill them in my family's day-to-day activities at home.

There is a lot of opportunity here. We work essentially for four companies within the Cox umbrella including Cox Enterprises. So, there is a great chance to get a lot of exposure into other departments, other industries, other businesses that you may not have worked in or your specialty doesn’t cater to. I think that’s something that’s really unique. The company offers us tools that help us navigate and understand those businesses and encourages us to continue to seek growth opportunities and potentially new jobs that we think we would like. From a culture perspective, there are always opportunities to volunteer and to meet people in other departments, which is something that promotes camaraderie.
