Job Description

PR Intern (Aug - Dec 2022)

About Finn Partners Singapore:

You're finding a place to kickstart your career, and we know how important it is to make your first stint in PR actually count. So, here's what we can do for you.

Finn offers the best of both worlds - the heritage of a homegrown agency, plus a global network spanning 31 cities. We're proud of our over 1,300 strong team and believe (relentlessly) in the work we do. With us, you'll get to support some of the biggest (and seriously cool) companies in the world. Uncover the world of endless transformation and get behind the latest technologies in every industry - from hospitality to healthcare.

This could mean gaining a ringside seat in the shady world of cybersecurity on one day. On another, you could just be part of a global movement to improve financial access and drive inclusivity. What can we guarantee though? No two days in our office are the same.
