In Finland, the position for 2026-27 is in our Real Estate Coverage team. This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself, develop your skills, and discover your strengths while exploring the world of finance.

You will be a part of a Real Estate Coverage team in Helsinki working with the largest local and international real estate investors in the Finnish market.

Cross-team collaboration, proactive communication, and a focus on accuracy and timely delivery are essential parts of our daily work.

As an Analyst in the Real Estate Coverage team, you will build internal financial models and prepare presentations for business cases, as well as assess the creditworthiness of transactions together with the team and present your analyses to the bank’s committees.
