Project Director

Location: Nashville, Tennessee

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 Navigator at Sea, aka a Project Director to join our One IM team.

The role will be based in our Nashville office with a hybrid schedule. The Project Director will work with prominent accounts featuring a successful startup with exciting campaigns and environmental purpose. We need 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. It requires the ability to maintain healthy teamwork and balance, so the crew does not fall overboard. And to 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. 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 processes and taking care to do things correctly the first time. An agency that cares about work culture and gives you a voice in it.

Where will you work?
In Nashville, Tennessee (or wherever you are on a given day). We’re dedicated to balanced lives and (almost always) logging off at 6pm. If you’re up for in-person interaction, there is an office in the heart of the city in The Gulch. Regardless if you’re working from home or in the office, you’ll have consistent 1:1 check ins with your manager, reviews, and culture-building opportunities to connect with people across the organization.
