Investment Analyst Trainees

Tesi is now looking for new Investment Analyst Trainees to join both its Fund Investment and Direct Investment teams. This full-time, fixed-term traineeship (5–6 months) will begin in January 2026, depending on your availability.

Regardless of which team you work in, you will participate in market and industry research, investment opportunity assessment, and material preparation for decision-making and market insights. As an Investment Analyst Trainee, you will be an integral part of Tesi’s investment teams and will participate in meetings and interviews with both our current as well as potential new investment opportunities. In addition, you will help in our portfolio management together with other investment team members. We value a general understanding of company financials and economic development, but first and foremost we are looking for a person with an eye for detail and eagerness to learn. You can apply to Fund Investments, Direct Investments, or both.

Investment Analyst Trainee, Fund Investments

Tesi’s Fund Investment team is looking for an Investment Analyst trainee. The team invests in Finnish and international private equity/venture capital funds, within the whole spectrum from seed-funds to buyout-funds. In addition to the previously mentioned tasks, you will participate in fund team, strategy and track record assessment as a part of investment proposal evaluation. The role offers the opportunity to gain in-depth exposure to comprehensive market analyses across various sectors, company-level evaluations and the assessment of the potential of different investment strategies — all supported by advanced data analytics. You will get a thorough overview of all levels of the private equity and venture capital landscape. To get to know the  Fund Investments team, please visit our website.

Investment Analyst Trainee, Direct Investments

Tesi’s Direct Investment teams are looking for an Investment Analyst trainee. You will work with both of our direct investment teams that invest in tech-driven startups,  growth companies and new industrial scale businesses. Part of your traineeship will be in our Venture & Growth Investments team and the other in our Industrial Investments team. In addition to the previously mentioned tasks, you will deep dive into target company evaluation, and be tasked with financial modeling (e.g. valuation). Please visit our website for more information about our  Venture Capital & Growth Investments and Industrial Investments teams.
