Logistics Manager (Brand Experiences/Events)

Experience Without Limits
Come shape the future of brand experience.

At Jack Morton, we design and build head-turning, smile-inducing, impact-driving brand experiences that redefine what experiential marketing can achieve. We help our clients unlock the full value of experiences by turning bold ideas into meaningful connections.

That takes a team that's bold, curious, and acts as one. We build on each other's ideas, challenge conventions, and show up for one another every day. Here, you'll do your best work, grow quickly, and partner 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 every win is shared. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the passion and talent of the people behind it.

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

That brings us to you.

You are a highly organized Logistics Manager who thrives on turning complex plans into seamless experiences. You understand that behind every unforgettable event is flawless operational planning.

You'll lead the planning and execution of event logistics across Japan and the Asia Pacific region, ensuring every detail—from venue coordination and transportation to accommodation, staffing, registration and guest movements—is delivered with precision.

Whether it's moving hundreds of VIP guests, coordinating multiple suppliers, or troubleshooting on-site, you're calm under pressure and always one step ahead.
