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.

From custom exhibits and trade shows to events and permanent installations, the team combines bold creative thinking with strategic planning and flawless execution.

• Support global estimating efforts by preparing detailed, accurate cost estimates
• Partner with design teams on materials, finishes, and sourcing to ensure feasibility, quality, and brand alignment
• Create and maintain implementation plans, work-back schedules, and vendor communications
• Manage subcontractors and suppliers, including coordinating services and issuing purchase orders
• Mentor and support junior team members, particularly Project Coordinators
• Participate in post-project reviews and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives
