Help create a consistent, thoughtful employee experience from the moment a team member joins Foguth.
• Lead Culture, Connection, and Engagement Initiatives: Develop and maintain a culture and connection calendar featuring holidays, national day celebrations, themed activities, friendly competitions, quarterly challenges, shared-interest gatherings, and other creative opportunities for employees to connect. Coordinate surprise-and-delight initiatives across offices, including just-because gifts, employee appreciation moments, and personalized recognition.

Assist with employee perks, including company vehicle-related coordination, and manage the customization and presentation of Conquer 100 awards. Help ensure special recognition opportunities and employee benefits are communicated and delivered thoughtfully.
• Support Marketing and Brand Engagement: Collaborate with marketing and events teams to generate engaging content that highlights employee appreciation, workplace culture, company milestones, and team experiences. Capture and coordinate photos, stories, and social media posts that authentically showcase Foguth's people, values, and culture.
• Coordinate Vendors and Event Logistics: Manage communication with events, gifting, swag, and other culture-related vendors. Coordinate timelines, orders, deliveries, materials, and on-site details to ensure events and employee experiences are organized, consistent, and executed successfully.
