Come join FINN Partners, a leading firm in the digital marketing space, dedicated to leveraging innovative technologies and strategies to drive growth for our clients. We are seeking an experienced Project Director to join our team.
The Project Director will work with prominent accounts featuring a successful startup with exciting campaigns and environmental purpose needs and a sound thinker to create detailed project plans and steer them to shore through (sometimes) stormy schedules on time, in shape, and on budget. The role requires someone to round the cape of client expectations using strong writing and conversation skills to ensure the rigging stays tight, so work isn’t lost at sea. The role also requires the ability to maintain healthy teamwork balance, so the crew does not fall overboard and stand alongside the Account Director and Creative Director to keep the account afloat.
What kind of person would that be?
Organized and on top of it. The ideal candidate is a navigator at sea.
- Someone who people often describe as “dependable” and “reliable”.
- Flexible, not like Yoga, but open to learning.
- An active listener (which is a thing).
- A collaborative team player who builds strong relationships.
- Assertive and confident when identifying and responding to issues that might put a project at risk.
- Easily earns trust.
- Likes to have fun, a real plus.
What you’ll be part of:
- An established and still growing agency that values creativity and collaboration.
- A global team of experts who support each other and strive to achieve excellent results for clients.
- A culture that promotes diversity, work-life balance, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
What you’ll get:
- Competitive salary and benefits
- A wellness subsidy
- A manager who provides consistent 1:1 check-ins, feedback, and growth opportunities
- Culture-building events and cross-team collaboration
- Career advancement opportunities within a growing agency
- A strong emphasis on work-life balance

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.
