The Role
The Account Director will lead high-profile travel PR campaigns, manage teams, develop strategies, and host media trips. Requires strong writing and media contacts.
Summary Generated by Built In
Step into a role where creativity meets wanderlust. FINN Partners is seeking an accomplished Account Director to join our award‑winning UK Travel PR team for a one‑year maternity cover. If you have a deep love of travel, a sharp understanding of the media landscape, and five+ years of PR experience, this is your chance to shape standout campaigns for some of the world’s most exciting destinations and brands.
What you’ll do
You’ll lead the day‑to‑day running of high‑profile travel accounts, guiding talented teams and partnering closely with senior leadership. From strategic planning to hands‑on execution, you’ll deliver integrated campaigns across print, digital, influencer and broadcast channels. You’ll spot stories others miss, drive KPIs with confidence, and play a key role in new business — from brainstorms to pitch development. Hosting media and influencer trips will also be part of the adventure.
What your days look like
No two days are the same. While core hours are 9 - 5, the nature of PR means you might be organising a sunrise shoot one day and attending an evening event the next. Our hybrid model gives you flexibility, with time split between home and our Old Street office.
What you bring to the role
a passion for travel and media, strong writing skills, excellent organisation, and a knack for uncovering great stories. You’ll have existing media contacts, commercial awareness, and the ability to coach junior team members while thriving in a fast‑paced environment.

You’ll join a global agency recognised as a PR Week Best Place to Work, with generous annual leave, private medical and dental cover, wellness benefits, enhanced maternity leave and more. You’ll be part of a collaborative, creative culture that values innovation, partnership and people. The salary for this role starts from £44,000 annual, based on skills and experience.

What We Do

1400+ People. 3 Continents. 33 Offices. We are a global integrated marketing agency transforming and inspiring the world of communications every day. A LETTER FROM PETER FINN: DECEMBER 2011. FINN PARTNERS WAS BORN. After 11 years serving as co-CEO of an historic agency that carried my father’s name— and mine!—and after 30+ years of working at the firm, I wanted to build something different, bold, meaningful and amazing for clients, our colleagues and the community. "Amazing"​ was, and is, for me an important word. I imagined we could be "amazing"​ every day, knowing this is a goal not always achieved but always pursued. A place where talented people could gather and do big things for clients as well as make a difference to the communities important to us. WE LAUNCHED WITH A GROUP WHO SHARED A VISION. This was to be a "new"​ agency model, driven by a collaborative spirit. We asked, "Can we bind our 60-year legacy to the energy and speed of today’s hi-tech world?"​ We had $24 million in fees at our founding. Today, we have more than $85 million in fees, over 700 colleagues and 18 offices across three continents. Our Founding Managing Partners, highly respected colleagues who took the leap with me from our former agency, have been joined by the principals of other great agencies that became Finn Partner companies. So many other talented individuals are with us, too, intrigued by the idea of doing amazing things in an amazing workplace community. WE’VE MADE OUR MARK QUICKLY. Finn Partners has been named “Best New Agency,” “Best PR Agency to Work for in North America” and“Best Mid-Sized Agency of the Year” three times. Now, we’re one of the world’s largest agencies. WE ARE A YOUNG AGENCY. We share the genes of a respected agency that pioneered today’s integrated communications. But we are not them. We are unique. We are ourselves. We are focused on the future, building that future during each amazing day.
