Your qualifications and approach:

You’re the kind of student who’s never been content with just theory. While pursuing your bachelor’s or newly started master’s degree in business, finance, or economics, you’ve found yourself drawn to the bigger questions - like how the global shift toward sustainability is affecting traditional industries like shipping. The complexity of decarbonising the maritime sector doesn’t intimidate you - it fascinates you.

You’ve always approached your work with structure and curiosity. Whether it’s building a financial model in Excel or shaping a clear message in PowerPoint, you enjoy the process of turning data into insight. But you also know that there’s a big difference between classroom cases and real-world challenges - and that’s why you're looking to step into a role where you can learn by doing. You thrive in dynamic environments. You find energy in solving problems, switching gears, and supporting a team where needed. You’re naturally curious and not afraid to reach out, ask questions, or take the lead on a task when the opportunity arises. You bring initiative, accountability, and a mindset geared toward learning fast. And with strong communication skills in English, you’re ready to connect with people across teams and topics.
