Miltton Finland Trainee Program
Are you curious and eager to learn? Do you want to work with top-level companies and get a real feel for how businesses and projects are actually run?
Good. Keep reading!
Miltton’s paid six-month Trainee Program in Helsinki is a deep dive into one of the fastest-growing consultancies in the Nordics.
From day one, you’ll get real responsibility. You will not just be observing from the sidelines, but working on projects across sectors, teams and disciplines. It will be fast-paced, occasionally intense, and very hands-on. You’ll have the support of ~200 colleagues and your own tutor, but we expect you to take ownership early.
What you’ll do
As a trainee, you might work on various tasks and Miltton businesses e.g.:
Client management and sales
Supporting client relationships, identifying new opportunities, contributing to proposals, sales processes, and client work
Project management
Coordinating complex client work, keeping things on track, and making sure ideas actually turn into something
Project management in annual reporting projects
Steering annual and sustainability reporting projects as part of our project teams
Influencers & Social
Helping brands show up where conversations happen — through creator collaborations, social-first content, and strategies that build engagement, trust, and influence.
PR & Media
From PR strategies and media pitches to press releases and modern ways of generating attention, we help brands get noticed by the audiences that matter.
Strategy, research, transformation and leadership
Conducting research and analyses, keeping things on track, and helping clients face transformations from new strategic directions to cultural shifts and brand renewals
Public affairs
Helping companies navigate regulation, reputation, and big societal questions
Global affairs & geopolitics
Supporting clients recognise and respond to the global forces that affect them.
Digital & AI-driven work
Building, testing and rethinking how communication is done
Finance & internal operations
Supporting financial processes such as invoicing, accounting and reporting, helping keep numbers accurate and business running smoothly
The number of open positions is approximately 10-20. Please note that due to certain projects, most of our trainee positions require Finnish language skills.
What we’re looking for
We’re not looking for a specific background, we’re looking for how you think and how you work.
Things that matter to us:
You take initiative and move things forward
You’re curious and you don’t stop at the first obvious answer
You can deal with ambiguity (there may be plenty)
You collaborate well
You can turn ideas into something concrete
You’re interested in sales, client relationships and what creates value for clients
We’re interested in how you approach problems, not just what you already know.
The process
After the initial application phase, we’ll invite around 100 applicants to something we call Miltton Onsite (Thu 20 Aug 2026).
A four-hour recruitment evening where you don’t just talk about what you can do, you show it.
You’ll work on a real case
In a small team, with people you’ve just met
Across one of our business areas
With a fully open brief (no “right” answer)
What matters to us isn’t the final pitch, it’s everything that happens on the way there.
How to apply
Tell us why you’re interested in the Trainee Program at Miltton and what kinds of tasks you thrive in. Be as concrete as possible when describing your skills and areas of interest.
We’re also keen to hear about any special competences you may have. If you have references or work samples, feel free to attach them to your application.
If you’ve applied AI in a unique or impactful way, we’d love to hear about it – what you did, why you did it, and what the outcome was.
Please send your application and CV by August 2, 2026, in either Finnish or English.
We’ll be in touch with all applicants during August.
The most suitable candidates will be invited to our Miltton Onsite event in August and to interviews held in August and September.
Our aim is to make final decisions during September.
The first stage of recruitment will be anonymous. Our recruitment system will automatically anonymise your CV and personal details, but please ensure that you do not include identifying information (such as your name) in your cover letter or other attached files.
Trainees typically work full-time with us for six months, starting in October. The starting date is negotiable – please let us know in your application if an earlier or later start would work better for you.
We have flexible hybrid working practices, meaning remote work is possible. However, due to the nature of the Trainee Program, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the working community at our Helsinki office. Some events and tasks – such as onboarding and certain project or client meetings – will require in-person attendance. Please note that our trainees receive a monthly salary of EUR 1,500.
