Job Title: Senior Vice President, New Business
Location: Remote (U.S.-based)
Reports To: Executive Leadership / Chief Growth Officer
Status: Full-time
We love to grow, and we want you to grow with us! Come join FINN Partners, a dynamic, global integrated marketing and communications agency. We’re on a mission to grow with intention. This role is ideal for a seasoned relationship-builder who can continue Finn’s visibility and credibility in the professional service sectors, particularly legal, by leveraging existing networks and industry connections to create strategic growth opportunities. If you can build in other sectors, don’t worry, we aren’t the exclusionary type.
As SVP, New Business, you’ll leverage your network, industry knowledge, and strategic insight to identify, engage, and secure new client relationships. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to potential new clients, guiding early-stage conversations, demonstrating Finn’s values, and opening doors to meaningful opportunities. This is not a transactional role - you’ll be a visible, influential ambassador for the agency, shaping how professional services clients experience Finn’s capabilities and expertise.
You will play a pivotal role in generating leads, shaping proposals, and serving as a visible ambassador for Finn Partners by bringing insight, perspective, and creativity to every client interaction.
What kind of person would that be?
- A connector. You enjoy making meaningful connections with people, ideas, and challenges.
- Self Starter. You take initiative, follow through, and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- An industry insider: You understand the world of professional services, particularly legal, consulting, or financial, and you know what drives the client’s decision-making.
- Relationship-oriented closer: You can turn early conversations into engagements and long-term partnerships, balancing relationship-building with business results.
What you’ll be part of:
One of the fastest-growing integrated marketing/PR agencies on this planet. Offices and opportunities across the globe. Fantastic clients and a robust pipeline. Talented people at every position. Kind people. Leadership that cares about your success and provides career mentorship. An agency that cares about work culture and gives you voice in it. And an agency with the mission to make a difference in the world.
Why Join FINN Partners?
- Competitive salary, benefits package, and a commitment to work-life balance.
- A culture that values innovation, continuous learning, and collaboration.
- Career advancement opportunities in a fast-growing company.
- A wellness subsidy
- A manager that provides consistent 1:1 check ins, reviews, and culture-building opportunities to connect with people across the organization.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute a strategic business development plan focused on professional services and law firms, leveraging existing networks and industry relationships to generate meaningful opportunities.
- Serve as an ambassador for Finn Partners by sharing insights, thought leadership, and industry expertise to strengthen our presence in the professional service sector.
- Lead early-stage client conversations, providing strategic guidance and demonstrating value while identifying long-term partnership opportunities.
- Collaborate with internal teams to craft compelling proposals, RFP responses, and pitch presentations that reflect both client needs and agency capabilities.
- Identify and pursue opportunities to participate in industry events, sponsorships, and content initiatives that reinforce the agency’s leadership in the professional service space.
- Track and report new business initiatives, client engagement, and pipeline activity to inform strategy and demonstrate measurable impact.
- Mentor and advise internal teams on client engagement strategies and business development best practices, helping to elevate the agency’s overall growth capabilities.
Qualifications

What We Do

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.
