Company description

Verdane is a specialist Northern European private equity firm helping sustainable, tech-enabled businesses reach the next stage of international growth. We have helped our companies accelerate growth and scale their business since 2003, and our funds hold more than €3bn in total committed capital.

Companies we currently own include Brightpearl, CAIA Cosmetics, CURA of Sweden, Desenio, EasyPark, Farmasiet, Hive Streaming, Hornetsecurity, MatHem, momox, Nomentia and Polytech.

We are proud to have attracted high calibre investors from 15 countries, ranging from large foundations and endowments to pension funds, insurance companies and family offices. Over half of the capital commitments in our three most recent funds, Verdane Edda, Verdane Edda II and Verdane Capital X, are by not-for-profit investors. Strong returns for our funds thus also help good causes.

 

Position description

We are looking for two part-time interns to join our Investor Relations and Business Development team in Stockholm office. We think that you have strong analytical and communication skills, a solid financial understanding and that you are motivated to work in a fast-paced workplace.

  • Content production and data analysis for Verdane Partners and the Investor Relations team to use in investor meetings and communications
  • Capital raisings for Verdane funds, specific portfolio companies and secondary transactions

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.

 

 

 

 

Love what you 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.

 

We can offer:

  • Exciting opportunity to gain broad understanding of the working cogs of a leading private equity firm, through working with members of the investor relations and business development team as well as team and CFO office
