FINN Partners is looking for an organised, results-driven Project Manager to join our growing team. The Project Manager will lead the execution of cross-functional, complex projects. You’ll create detailed project plans and ensure they are delivered on time, on budget, and up to high standards. As a key player, you’ll manage client expectations, gather feedback, and collaborate closely with the Account team to ensure the success of each project.
Who are we looking for:
- Dependable and Organised: You’re someone who people describe as reliable and always on top of the details. You have a talent for crafting clear, actionable project plans that keep everything on track.
- Confident and Assertive: You’re comfortable making decisions and addressing issues proactively, knowing when to pivot to keep projects moving forward. Your confidence builds trust with both clients and internal teams.
- An Excellent Listener: You actively listen to both clients and colleagues, making sure everyone’s voice is heard and feedback is acted upon. Your strong communication skills foster positive relationships and keep teams engaged.
- Team-Oriented and Collaborative: You’re skilled at maintaining healthy teamwork and balance within the group, ensuring everyone stays on task and works together without burnout.
- Flexible and Adaptive: Not in a yoga way—you’re open to learning new approaches and adjusting your plans when the unexpected happens.
- Fun and Personable: You like working with people and easily forge strong relationships, bringing a positive energy that makes collaboration enjoyable.
- Detail-Oriented Problem Solver: You can juggle multiple priorities, spot potential risks, and find creative solutions to ensure projects are delivered without a hitch.
What you’ll be part of:
- A fast-growing agency with exciting clients and a steady pipeline of projects.
- A talented team of professionals eager to collaborate and support each other.
- Leadership that genuinely cares about your professional development and success.
- A culture that values teamwork, accountability, and process improvement.
- An agency that’s committed to maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Where will you work?
You’ll be based in London and collaborate with global colleagues and clients in the U.S. and beyond. While there’s no set in-office requirement, we encourage regular in-person collaboration when it works with your schedule, especially for team leadership, training, and support. This hybrid role provides the flexibility to manage your time while recognising that in-person interaction plays an important role in leading and nurturing the team.
Responsibilities:
- Develop comprehensive project plans that consider unique requirements and dependencies, ensuring seamless execution across all phases.
- Manage concurrent work streams and balance dependencies across multiple projects and disciplines, maintaining clarity and focus on key deliverables.
- Navigate business needs with a clear understanding of competing priorities, aligning resources to meet both client and internal expectations.
- Proactively manage project financials and oversee monthly billing reconciliations, presenting actionable recommendations to the account services partner and/or client.
- Identify, analyse, and respond to potential project and account risks, taking the initiative to proactively mitigate issues before they impact project outcomes.
- Demonstrate initiative in moving projects forward, ensuring progress aligns with the desired outcome while maintaining accountability at each stage.
- Coordinate approvals and finalisation processes for timely, error-free work, ensuring high-quality deliverables that meet or exceed client expectations.
- Champion FINN goals, systems, and policies, fostering adherence to best practices and reinforcing a culture of excellence within the team.
Qualifications:
- Prior experience as a project manager in an agency setting or comparable is helpful.
- 4-6 years of experience in project management.
- Degree or equivalent experience required.
Why join FINN Partners?
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- A company that prioritises work-life balance (we value logging off at a reasonable hour).
- Career advancement opportunities in a fast-growing company.
- A supportive, collaborative culture that values innovation and continuous learning.
- A wellness subsidy because your health and well-being are important to us.

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.
