Associate Creative Director

The opportunity:
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.

Who we’re looking for:
An editorially-savvy ACD, Copy who is as comfortable writing a compelling email headline as they are building a complex messaging framework for a new product or service line.

You:

- 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.

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.

What you’ll be a part of:
- 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.
