We are looking for a full-time intern to join our Investor Relations (IR) team. The IR team plays a central role at Verdane, leading fundraising activities across all funds and managing relationships with our global investor base.

The team is organised into two highly collaborative sub-teams: Project Management and Coverage.

• Investor Communication: Support the preparation of written communications for investors, including updates on new investments, portfolio exits, and other key milestones.
• Events: Contribute to the preparation of materials and logistics for major investor events, such as the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and LP Advisory Committee (LPAC) meetings.

In addition, you will gain exposure to broader Investor Relations processes such as quarterly reporting, co-investment coordination, and ad-hoc investor requests, working closely with colleagues across the team.

Your profile

• Master’s degree graduate or studying towards a Master’s degree
• Relevant internship experience in the financial sector (minimum 6 months) such as: Private Equity, Investment Banking,
• Proficient in using AI tools and comfortable applying technology to problem-solving; coding experience or similar technical skills are a strong plus.
• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills
• You are fluent in spoken and written English (Nordic languages or German is an advantage)
• Strong project management skills: self-starter, organised, able to multi-task and work in a fast-paced environment
• Good communicator: ability to work and build relationships with a large decentralised team

Our corporate values

You will be a perfect fit if our corporate values resonate with you:

• Get things done: We actively work to shorten decision making cycles, always completing our set tasks with quality. We prioritise what lies before us in order to ensure that everything we set out to accomplish is done well, rather than taking on too many things at once.
• Dare to be different: We are bold in our thinking and challenge the status quo. We treasure differences of opinion and value complementary perspectives as we seek creative solutions to complex problems.
• Love what we do: We are genuinely committed and passionately curious, entrepreneurial in spirit and deed – the best idea wins.
• Respect people and the planet: We act with integrity and seek to build trust in all relations. We show responsibility and aspire to be on the right side of history, helping to move our industry towards more sustainable, long-term thinking.

You have a growth mindset, good communication skills, and a desire to work in an international environment. As a person, you collaborate well in a down-to-earth and value-based culture that is committed to building long-lasting relationships. You have a can-do attitude and enjoy working with people, but also enjoy solving challenges on your own.
