Brand Coordinator

Company Overview

Paradowski Creative is a full-service agency that works with a wide mix of clients across the world. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, the agency also maintains locations in the United States and Europe, which helps the team collaborate globally and bring broad perspective to its work. Its people operate across disciplines to deliver thoughtful, strategic creative solutions that help brands expand and connect with their audiences. The agency is grounded in curiosity and craftsmanship, with a strong blend of creative energy and strategic focus.

In this role, you will play a meaningful part in how work is delivered. You will support clients, internal teams, and the ideas that keep both moving forward, with real ownership from the start and opportunities to grow as you show initiative.

Role Summary

Paradowski Creative is hiring a full-time Brand Coordinator who is highly organized, proactive, and detail-focused to support brand management work for a major client relationship.

You will act as a day-to-day partner within the client’s brand team, helping oversee brand governance, vendor coordination, trademark workflows, and the operational routines that support consistent brand standards across a large organization. This position requires close collaboration with both agency and client stakeholders, along with preparation, responsiveness, and proactive communication.

Success in this position depends on your ability to work independently, ask questions early, adapt to different communication styles, and build strong working relationships across a complex corporate environment. Over time, you are expected to take on greater ownership of your workstreams.

This is an embedded role with the client team. Renewal and evaluation are handled annually as directed by the client. For employment, coaching, and performance development, you will report to the Paradowski Account Director. Day-to-day priorities and work direction will come from the client brand team.

This opportunity is well suited to someone early in their career with 1–3 years of experience who is organized, curious, and eager to grow within global brand operations.
