TesiInvestment Analyst Trainee, Fund Investments and Investment Analyst Trainee, Direct Investments

Tesi is now looking for new Investment Analyst Trainees to join both its Fund Investment and Direct Investment teams. This full-time, fixed-term traineeship (5–6 months) will begin in January 2026, depending on your availability.

Regardless of which team you work in, you will participate in market and industry research, investment opportunity assessment, and material preparation for decision-making and market insights. As an Investment Analyst Trainee, you will be an integral part of Tesi’s investment teams and will participate in meetings and interviews with both our current as well as potential new investment opportunities. In addition, you will help in our portfolio management together with other investment team members. We value a general understanding of company financials and economic development, but first and foremost we are looking for a person with an eye for detail and eagerness to learn. You can apply to Fund Investments, Direct Investments, or both.

The role offers the opportunity to gain in-depth exposure to comprehensive market analyses across various sectors, company-level evaluations and the assessment of the potential of different investment strategies — all supported by advanced data analytics. You will get a thorough overview of all levels of the private equity and venture capital landscape. To get to know the  Fund Investments team, please visit our website.
