You will join a small, specialized Treasury team characterized by close collaboration, high professional standards, and an informal working environment.

You will report to the Head of Treasury, based in Hellerup.

As our new Student Assistant, you will support the Head of Treasury with:

• Treasury policy: Preparing analyses, presentations, and documentation supporting treasury policies, investment strategy, and the Group’s approach to financial risk.
• Cash management: Supporting daily liquidity monitoring, cash positioning, cash pool activities, cash flow forecasting, working capital analysis, and monitoring of financial investments.

You are currently enrolled in a relevant academic program within Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Accounting, or a similar field, preferably at the end of your bachelor’s degree or beginning your master’s degree.

You are curious about treasury and financial markets, comfortable working with data, and able to structure, follow up on, and complete tasks. You take ownership of your work, ask questions when needed, and enjoy collaborating in a dynamic environment.

• Strong analytical skills and a flair for numbers
