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:
· 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.

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.

· 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 working in an advertising agency.

• 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.
