Job Description

Experience Without Limits. Come shape the future of brand experience.

At Jack Morton, we create, and build, head-turning, smile-inducing, impact driving brand experiences. We exist to redefine what experiential can achieve, helping clients unlock the full value of experiences.

That takes a team that's bold, curious, and acts as one - building on ideas, pushing boundaries, and showing up for each other. Here, you'll do your best work, grow fast, and collaborate across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life.

This is a place where curiosity drives what's next, boldness raises the bar, and we win together. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it.

Experience without limits — in your work, your growth, and your impact.

**Must be able to work a hybrid onsite schedule at our Addison, IL location**

As a Project Coordinator, you'll help bring experiential marketing programs to life from trade shows to live events and branded environments! Partnering with our Addison based Project Management team, you'll keep projects moving, details tight, and execution flawless.

What you'll be doing

• Support Project Managers across multiple fast-paced projects
• Keep timelines, budgets, and deliverables on track
• Coordinate with internal teams, vendors, and partners
• Manage project documentation, assets, and communications
• Assist with estimates, schedules, and workbacks
• Communicate status updates clearly to stakeholders
• Research vendors, materials, and fabrication solutions
• Review drawings and support technical execution
• Problem-solve on the fly and keep projects moving
• Travel as needed for onsite execution

If you can do all that, you have what it takes. It might help if…

• 2+ years in project coordination or similar role
• Experience in experiential, events, or agency environments
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• Able to juggle priorities in a fast-paced setting
• Strong communicator (written and verbal)
• Comfortable with technical docs and project specs
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel a must!)
• Proactive, collaborative, and solutions-oriented
