Job description
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 One IM 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 a 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 people often describe as “dependable” and “reliable”. Flexible, not like Yoga but open to learning. An active listener (which is a thing). A human, who likes people and forges 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:
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. A commitment to workable process and taking care to do things correctly the first time. An agency that cares about work culture and gives you voice in it.
