Sprint Nextel Work Values

Daily Duties at Sprint Nextel:

Senior Manager, Web Marketing & ecommerce Strategy, Sprint 1998 - 2000 Sprint Nextel (S) is ranked 58 on the 2008 Fortune 500 with annual revenue over $40 billion, and is a leading telecommunications company delivering comprehensive communication services from personal to enterprise. I was requested to lead the 'One Sprint' Web experience design strategy and integration initiative of all major business units into a single cohesive website. I created and managed a cross-functional team comprised from each of Sprint’s seven major business units. As a team, we secured the commitment and cooperation of the top 30 marketing and ecommerce individuals across the organization. Our team transitioned seven separate websites into a single unified customer experience. This provided Sprint customers a view of the full spectrum of services for their particular customer type, re-establishing an implicit message of "Clarity" consistent with the core Sprint brand message. We accomplished this goal without utilizing outside agencies (minimum $500,000 in cost savings). We also led the migration of all Sprint websites to a single Web marketing and ecommerce platform by persuading each major business unit to unify their development budgets and technology selection process. The consolidation of ecommerce budgets resulted in operational cost savings in excess of $9 million.

What they like about Sprint Nextel:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
