Job description

Our definition? Stepping into the unknown, asking questions, challenging assumptions and trying new approaches even when you do not have all the answers yet. Because in this early-career opportunity, we do not expect you to. What matters is your willingness to learn and we will support you every step of the way.

At NORDEN, you will be surrounded by people who support you and encourage this side of you to shine. With the mindset that we on our own are strong, but together, we have the scale, network and platform to create more impact.

Here you will not spend 9 months observing. You will spend 9 months contributing.

Why this Internship

You might join for the ships. But you also stay for the people and the problems worth solving. Throughout the programme, you will be assigned a manager, a mentor and buddies, ensuring that you are supported every step of the way.

• Your Manager is responsible for your overall well-being and development.
• Your Mentor will be guiding you in your day-to-day work and regularly check in to provide feedback and support your well-being, progress and aspirations.
• Your Buddies will connect you to our culture and will, on an ongoing basis, arrange social events for all Interns and Trainees.

You will contribute to a collaborative and forward-thinking environment with an international footprint. Our focus is on enabling you through trust, empowerment and a well-defined sense of belonging.

Quickly, you will be trusted to fix or operate your own vessels, contribute to the business and become an equally important member of the team.

You will be part of a professional community while gaining a unique network of colleagues across the globe who will support you in your development.

The practicalities

During your 9-month internship, you can expect to join our Commercial or Operations department. Your interests and skills will help decide where you will start your career with us.

You will also be introduced to our different business areas and get broad insights into the world of international shipping and trade.

The internship is a full-time position, 37 hours a week. Whereof 25 hours a week are considered part of your study and will be covered by your SU, while the remaining 12 hours a week will be fixed pay as a Student Assistant. Time for courses and exams will be coordinated with Copenhagen Business School.

The internship officially begins in September 2027, but we are open for the option of you joining us as a Student Assistant over the summer 2027.

What you bring

Curiosity goes a long way here. From exploring new ideas, asking questions to learning from the people around you.

Maybe you are the type of person who wants to understand not just what is happening, but why.

An interest in business and how companies create value is a great foundation, but what matters most is your eagerness to develop your skills, try new things and make the most of the opportunities you will find with us.

It is a requirement that you start the third year of your B.Sc., International Shipping & Trade at Copenhagen Business School in the summer of 2027.

The recruitment process

The recruitment process consists of one interview.

Before the interview you will be asked to complete a behavioural and cognitive assessment. These help us gain a deeper understanding of your working preferences and how you typically approach different situations. It is important to note that this is just one element of the overall process and cannot stand alone.

We expect the process to be finalised, with signed agreements, in December 2026.

If you have any questions, please contact Cecilie Tarp Kasten, [e-mail].
