Creative Marketing & Promotions Coordinator

DPP Creative · Hoffman Estates, IL, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Are you creative, organized, great with a computer, and the kind of person who likes doing a little bit of everything?

We’re a creative promotional products company looking for an energetic, curious, and highly organized person to join our team.

This is an entry-level position, and you do not need experience in the promotional products industry. We’ll teach you the business, our products, our vendors, and our systems.

What we’re really looking for is someone who is savvy, creative, resourceful, detail-oriented, and excited to learn.

You might spend the morning putting together a creative presentation for a client, then work on a quote, create a social media post, send out a customer mailing, communicate with a vendor about samples, and help track a shipment in the afternoon.

In other words: you’ll wear a lot of hats.

Office & Operations

Handle data entry and maintain accurate customer and product information

Manage email and communication through Outlook

Help coordinate customer mailings

Jump in and help wherever the team needs you

The Person We’re Looking For

We're less concerned about your resume than we are about how you think and how you work

You might be a great fit if you are:

Creative and visually minded

Organized and detail-oriented

Good at juggling multiple projects at once

Comfortable with Excel, Outlook, email, and online tools

Naturally curious and willing to figure things out

Comfortable talking with customers and vendors

Someone who notices what needs to be done and jumps in

Resourceful and good at solving problems

Excited by new products, ideas, trends, and creative projects

Dependable and accountable

Someone who doesn't mind switching gears throughout the day

Experience with any of the following is a plus:
Promotional Products and apparel

Marketing or social media

Canva or other design programs

Microsoft Excel

PowerPoint or presentation software

Shipping or logistics

Retail or hospitality

Graphic design

Working with vendors or suppliers

You do need to be willing to learn, ask questions, take

initiative, and jump in.

If you like the idea of working in a creative, fast-moving business where no two days are exactly alike, we'd love to hear from you.
