• A experience with taking initiative to research and resolve issues

• Ability to apply programming skills

You will work with our Nordic Equities investment management teams as well as Responsible Investment team to build a solid platform for data, research and analysis of environmental, social and governance factors, as well as enable the investment managers interpret and integrate sustainability considerations into investment processes and decisions.
Other responsibilities will include supporting the investment management teams in dialogue with portfolio companies and stakeholders, participating in meetings with customers and providing advice and support to investment management teams. You will also have an integral part in the ongoing development of our analytical tools. We have a positive working environment where personal development is highly encouraged and with leaders who inspire you to achieve your goals in true Nordic atmosphere.
