Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland Copenhagen Economics Full time

We are looking for a talented and ambitious economics student with an interest in economic consulting to join our team in Helsinki. The expected start date is in August or September 2025.

WHO ARE WE?

Copenhagen Economics is one of the leading economic consultancies in Europe. We are formed of a diverse mix of highly skilled economists working together to deliver hard facts and clear stories. We develop economic analyses to help our public and private clients make informed decisions within the areas of competition policy, public policy, impact assessments, and valuation. Our work is project-based and always tailored to the specific needs of the client.

You can visit our website for examples of our work and read more about our different services at this link.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

Working as a Research Assistant, you will contribute directly to our daily project work. You will have the opportunity to have a direct impact, working across different project types and in different project teams for some of the most influential institutions, organisations, and companies across Europe and beyond.

You will develop your skills in applied economics by learning from and working closely with our team of experienced economic consultants. Your tasks will be varied, such as finding and analysing data, presenting and illustrating economic conclusions, and supporting our consultants with the final details of our reports and presentations.

A normal working week constitutes 20 hours at our Helsinki office, but with two-way flexibility, particularly around exam periods.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We welcome applicants who:

  1. Excel academically and are either late-stage bachelor or master's students in economics.
  2. Have an interest in areas such as competition policy, public policy, impact assessments, valuation and/or econometric methods.
  3. Enjoy being part of a team but can also work independently when needed.
  4. Take ownership of tasks and pride themselves on delivering high-quality work.
  5. Have a high work ethic and are flexible and effective in prioritisation of their own work.
  6. Have experience with data analysis and a keen interest in learning new skills. Programming skills in R and/or Python, and proficiency in Excel, Word and PowerPoint are an advantage.
  7. Have excellent English skills. Proficiency in Finnish is an advantage.

HOW TO APPLY

Please submit your application via our website, including CV, a short cover letter and academic transcripts from high school and onwards no later than 25 April 2025. We will be interviewing on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. In your cover letter, please elaborate on why you would like to work with us and why you believe you would be a good fit for the role and our team (max 500 words).

As a company, we are committed to responding to all applicants, no matter the result.
