[Hiring] Associate Creative Director @Finn Partners

Role Description

As part of the growing creative team at FINN Partners you’ll tackle a wide range of client projects—always through the lens of audience needs and business impact—both leading work and executing it within an integrated content marketing system.

Your role will include:

• Collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team of writers, art directors, project managers, strategists, and all-around nice people to develop and execute multi-channel creative concepts that are on brief and on brand.
• Thinking strategically before you write: interrogating briefs, identifying the sharpest insight, and ensuring the creative idea is doing real work, not just sounding good.
• Concepting, writing, and copyediting across a wide range of formats: websites, social media, email, video storyboards, sales collateral, presentations, infographics or data visualization, brand guidelines, messaging frameworks, and content strategies.
• Functioning as a creative and strategic partner to the CD, helping shape the thinking and stepping into that elevated role with confidence when needed.
• Ensuring cohesiveness of brand voice across a complex system of business units within larger brand systems.
• Balancing pitching bold new ideas with efficiently developing fresh content within existing templates or approaches.
• Leading multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining high standards of quality.
• Presenting your work with confidence, clarity, and strong rationale.
• Staying connected and collaborative with the team, but working independently and proactively when needed.

Qualifications

• A portfolio highlighting a range of copywriting, editing, and strategic thinking across long and short form.
• ACD-level experience leading work within a creative department, either at an agency or in-house at a financial brand.
• Experience in financial services—wealth management, banking, or fintech—and a knack for making complex products feel human.
• A high degree of comfort with strategy—able to work beyond execution to shape messaging frameworks, define positioning, and connect creative output to broader business and audience objectives.
• A dedication to collaboration, empathy, and innovation.
• Proficiency collaborating via software such as Google Docs/Drive, Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Word/PowerPoint, Box, and Figma.
• People who you’ve worked with before who will vouch for your copywriting/editing and leadership skills.

Requirements

• Understand that effective copywriting comes from a deep understanding of who you’re writing for, what motivates them, and how to communicate in their terms.
• Are a words nerd who isn’t afraid to embrace new formats and technologies.
• Can effectively architect content strategy to help ensure copy is consistent, compelling, and true to brand.
• Take ownership of projects from start to finish, asking “What if?” every step of the way.
• Can frictionlessly shift between directing writers to execute your vision and writing yourself.
• Take pride in your craft, but you also know empathetic collaboration yields better work.
• Know how to use original copywriting, and the deep strategic thinking that shaping effective content requires, to ensure clients stay differentiated and ahead of trends.

Benefits

• One of the fastest-growing integrated marketing and PR agencies.
• A team of talented, kind, and collaborative professionals across disciplines.
• Leadership that’s approachable and committed to your development.
• A shared commitment to delivering bold, meaningful work that drives results for clients.
• A culture where creative and strategy sit at the same table, and both have a real voice.
