Investment Intern

Become an investment professional: Urban Partner’s Investment Intern program 2026

Urban Partners seeks motivated students for 4–6-month internships at our Helsinki Office. Boost your analytical skillset and gain exposure to private equity investments while making a positive impact on the planet, investing with sustainability top of mind.

Your Role

The internship consists of working in one of the teams within our investment organization, supporting our professionals in sourcing and evaluating new investment opportunities, executing transactions, managing the existing portfolio, and developing our business. 

During the internship, you will be a full-time member of our investment organization and participate in different phases of the investment lifecycle, supported by senior colleagues. This includes analysing specific markets, investment opportunities and/or existing portfolios, and contributing to decision-making. 

The internship will enhance your analysis, problem-solving, presentation, and collaboration skills, as well as give you an overview of the investment process as a part of a highly skilled, non-hierarchical team, making this internship valuable to anyone considering a career in sectors such as private equity, investment management, investment banking, management consulting, real estate, or more.

You will have the opportunity to work in a growing, international company that is challenging the traditional players and investing at scale to create real impact.
