Why Join Our Raleigh Team?

Economic Opportunity

Cooper Tacia was founded in 2003 in Raleigh, North Carolina, which is now part of the second fastest growing region in the country. And for good reason. The Research Triangle boasts a diverse and vibrant economy with technology, life sciences, pharmaceutical, clean tech and advanced manufacturing companies, as well as significant healthcare and educational facilities. It is also a haven for entrepreneurs. And it has a 2.9 percent unemployment rate.

Top National Rankings

Raleigh was named the best-performing large city in the United States by the Milken Institute in 2025. Other top rankings in 2025 include: Number 1 Best City for Recent College Grads; 5^th Best Large Metro for Women in Tech; and 3^rd Best State Capital. In 2024, Raleigh was ranked 4^th for Quality of Life; #2 Best Place to Live in America; and the #7 Healthiest City in the US.

High-Quality Education

The Wake County Public School System is ranked one of the best in the country and has an 88 percent high school graduation rate. Residents also have access to three major research universities – North Carolina State University in Raleigh, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and Duke University in Durham – as well as nine other colleges and universities and eight community colleges in the region.

Housing and Recreation

While housing costs are rising, the region remains affordable compared to other major metropolitan areas, sparking an influx of new residents. Raleigh is also known for its parks and greenways, which are unmatched. Work has begun on the 306-acre Dix Park, which features the Gipson Play Plaza – an amazing outdoor play space.

Ease of Travel

With a growing airport, it is easy to access direct flights to locations around the country and a direct flight to Reykjavik, Iceland, is making it easy to access locations throughout Europe.

Sports

If you like college sports and NHL hockey, this is the place for you. Teams from NC State, Duke and UNC create rivalries and passion, while the Carolina Hurricanes bring the region together as we cheer on our incredible hockey team. Work is currently underway to create a sports and entertainment district at the Lenovo Center, home to NC State Basketball and the Canes. We’re also big fans of the Carolina Courage, our women’s NWSL team.

Southern Charm

The region is also known for its great restaurants led by James Beard award winners, its breweries and distilleries, and its sense of community. While Raleigh is a growing city, it has Southern charm. It’s the kind of place where strangers say hi and smile while you’re walking your dog, you’re in the grocery store or you’re picking up your kids at school. People always remark about how nice everyone is. You’ll always feel right at home.
