Student assistant in Group FP&A

Student Assistant – Group Finance, Financial Planning & Analysis

Svitzer offers an exciting opportunity for a Student Assistant to join our Group Finance department. You will be part of an ambitious team supporting global finance processes and helping ensure that our reporting and analysis run smoothly for the benefit of the team and our stakeholders.

As our new Student Assistant, you will gain exposure to a broad range of tasks within our Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) function. Working in an international environment, you will collaborate with colleagues across the business and contribute to the monthly financial reporting process.

We are located in Nordhavn and work in a dedicated, fast-moving environment where there is also room for life outside of work. We value knowledge sharing, challenging the status quo, new ideas, and the freedom that comes with taking responsibility. The marine and towage industry can be complex, and we work together to keep improving.

What we offer

At Svitzer Headquarters, we work in a lean, flat structure where you will regularly interact with senior stakeholders. We lead with care, prioritise learning, and provide space for you to shape your role and contribute meaningfully to Svitzer’s success.

We offer a truly international environment with a professional, engaged, and ambitious atmosphere, while maintaining a relaxed and inclusive culture where diversity is valued. Working hours are flexible, especially around examination periods, and we expect the role to be 15–20 hours per week.

In addition, we offer a great canteen, good coffee, fruit, a fitness area, occasional social events, massage options, and other perks. Most importantly, you will join a team of professional, supportive, and approachable colleagues.

Key responsibilities

• Update the monthly performance package, including consolidation and templates for regional input.
• Maintain internal financial and management reports and incorporate improvements requested by Svitzer management.
• Support the FP&A team, and potentially other Group Finance functions, with special projects and ad hoc tasks.

We are looking for a motivated student with strong analytical skills, a structured approach to work, and an interest in finance, reporting, and business performance.

• Is in the 2nd or 3rd year of a Bachelor degree in a Finance-related subject, Mathematics, Economics, or a similar field, and intends to continue with a Master degree.
