Are you interested in working with startups?
Urban Tech Helsinki is looking for an enthusiastic Communications Trainee.
As a trainee you will work closely with our Urban Tech Helsinki team of two full-time persons, as well as a part of larger Aalto Startup Center team.

Your daily tasks are mostly related to communications, marketing, and event management. We are looking for a trainee who wants to become an expert in startup communications and/or marketing and become an active member of the vibrant Helsinki startup ecosystem. The incubator is operating in Maria 01 in Helsinki and A Grid in Otaniemi, but the tasks might also take you elsewhere in the Helsinki Metropolitan region.
Why should you apply? Thoughts from our current trainee Ellen:
“My time as a trainee here at Urban Tech Helsinki has been a great learning opportunity that I’d warmly recommend to any student! Every week you get to meet not only interesting founders and startups, but also all kinds of people from different functions of the ecosystem. The flexibility and supportive nature of the internship has also made combining the internship with my studies very easy. I would recommend Urban Tech Helsinki for anyone wanting to learn more about the Finnish startup ecosystem and wanting to get practical experience from startup communications.”
