Are you interested in working in the challenging environment of Mergers and Acquisitions? We are looking for students who are finalising their studies or who have already graduated to join our team as an Operational M&A Trainee in Helsinki.

The Trainee period is five to six months, and we would like you to start in January 2025. Our goal is that as many Trainees as possible continue with us also after the Trainee period or after graduating.

Our M&A team in Finland offers services for the entire acquisitions & divestments process. We focus on operational due diligence in the pre-deal phase and on planning and executing integration/separation programmes in the post-deal phase. Additionally, we work on performance improvement projects to enhance client company profitability.

As a Trainee, you will support our experienced professionals with various tasks, including analysing target company data to build the synergy potential case for a proposed M&A deal and reviewing separation complexities and potential standalone costs of divestments. In performance improvement projects, you will assist in analysing company financials to identify areas for profitability improvement. Your tasks also include preparing/facilitating workshops and meetings for integration, separation and performance improvement programs while managing key programme milestones, governance and risks.

You will have the opportunity to work directly with our clients, providing crucial support in the daily Programme Management Office (PMO) tasks. This will involve tasks such as updating project plans, action point logs, meeting memos, and other administrative work during the execution phase of an integration or separation. You can read more about the Trainee period here.

What do we hope from you?

Do you possess a determined and systematic approach to achieving your goals? Are you a team player who understands that together we can achieve greater things than as individuals? If you got excited reading the job description and recognized yourself from above, you might just be the Operational M&A Trainee that we are looking for!

In addition, we wish that you have:

• an excellent academic record with a relevant master’s degree, e.g. from business or industrial engineering (graduated or close to graduation)
• solid skills in Excel and PowerPoint
• good interpersonal and communication skills and excellent command of both Finnish and English
• proactive and hands-on attitude for delivering high quality client experience
• interest to pursue a career in M&A

Previous experience from project management and/or M&A is considered as an advantage.
