Marketing Coordinator Job Downers Grove area,Illinois USA,Marketing / Advertising / PR

You get to create, execute, and keep the work moving. Roadrunner is the most tech-forward company in LTL. We built a proprietary Smart Network™ that delivers fewer touches, faster transit, real-time visibility, and real accountability. The service is differentiated. The point of view is clear. Marketing has not yet fully translated that advantage into how the brand shows up every day—on the website, in social, in video, in events, and in the materials our teams use.

That’s the opportunity. Reporting to the Marketing Manager, you will be the creative force and operational backbone of the marketing team. You will design, film, write, organize, and ship. You will bring campaigns to life through compelling visual content, tight planning, and cross-platform execution. You will keep initiatives on-brand, on deadline, and running smoothly in a lean, PE-backed environment that rewards ownership and speed.

What

you’ll do

1. Content Creation & Brand Presence This is a creation role, not a maintenance role. You make the brand visible. Design and produce marketing materials using Canva and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro) for digital and print campaigns. Invent and ship high-impact visual content that advances Roadrunner as the Category of One—graphics, sales collateral, social assets, landing-page visuals, event materials, and campaign creative.

Create video and photo content. Appear on camera when needed and direct shoots that capture authentic customer stories, owner-operator voices, and company culture. Support Roadrunner’s Linked In and social presence with content that is sharp, human, and on‑brand—not generic freight marketing. Shape how the brand shows up across digital, physical, and experiential touchpoints so every interaction reinforces that Roadrunner is leading the way.

2. Campaign Execution & Coordination The Marketing Manager owns the strategy. You make the machine run. Coordinate with vendors, internal stakeholders, sales, talent acquisition, and the marketing team to execute multi-channel campaigns on time. Support integrated campaigns across digital, social, email, content, events, and emerging channels that drive awareness, pipeline, and talent outcomes. Treat every campaign as an experiment. Track what shipped, what worked, and what needs to change.

Document what you learn. Produce materials and communications for strategic customer accounts based on direction from leadership and the Marketing Manager.

3. Website, Social & Digital Presence Keep the public face of the brand fresh, usable, and current. Manage and update the website CMS so content is accurate, optimized, and user-friendly. Support social media content creation and campaign execution across platforms—planning, producing, scheduling, and reporting. Help build and maintain landing pages and digital experiences that match Roadrunner’s voice and convert attention into action.

Use AI tools to accelerate production without sacrificing quality, voice, or point of view.

4. Calendar, Systems & Operational Support You are the detail-oriented backbone. Nothing falls through the cracks. Own the marketing calendar and project-management systems. Keep deadlines visible. Keep work moving. Help maintain reusable content resources, brand guidelines, and AI prompt frameworks so internal teams can produce on‑brand materials without bottlenecks. Apply AI and automation to recurring production and administrative work—reducing manual effort and shortening turnaround time.

Track marketing expenses and assist with budget reconciliation. Identify friction in how marketing work gets done, then fix it with process, templates, and tools that stick.

5. Talent, Owner-Operator & Culture Content Attract the right…
