We like to invest in teams who want to do more than just make a great game – teams who are committed to building a game studio and understand the various aspects that you need to master to operate a successful game studio. So far we’ve invested in 20+ teams of different backgrounds, sizes and locations; teams who have worked on a huge variety of games and platforms.

We are  now looking for an intern to join our Investments Team (2 positions - Spring/Fall 2025).

In this role you are part of our four-person Investments Team working alongside the team on evaluating new investment opportunities, researching the market, analyzing follow-on investments and supporting our investee companies with their day-to-day requests. In addition, our team touches on various company level strategic corporate development projects and the Investments Intern will have the opportunity to take part in these. 

Example tasks during your internship:

• Conducting market research on the gaming market and analyzing trends
• Evaluating new investment opportunities
• Analyzing our current direct investments as well as our VC fund portfolio where Supercell is a limited partner
• Taking part in strategic corporate development projects
• Working with our investee companies and supporting them with their day-to-day requests
• Playing and evaluating games of our existing investees as well as potential new investments
• Assisting the investments team in various other projects and ad hoc requests

What we are looking for:

• You have a genuine passion for games and an interest in venture investing - and eagerness to deepen your knowledge in these fields
• You are studying towards a relevant University degree with at least 120 ECTS behind you (e.g. Finance, Industrial Engineering or other Business or Engineering majors)
• You have an analytical and strategic mindset to contribute as a team member in investment processes and strategic special projects
• You are comfortable working with financial and market data
• You are familiar with the basics of venture investing and comfortable with basic analytical and presentational tools
• Being part of an international team and investee community, fluency in written and spoken English is a prerequisite
• Nice to have: You will also benefit from having previous work experience from gaming, venture capital, private equity, management consulting, investment banking or other relevant field

While you have the support of the Supercellians around you, you also need an independent and self-directed mindset - however, you are never too proud to ask questions. We don’t expect you to know everything but hope that you are eager to deepen your knowledge and have a proactive approach to your work. We take good care of our people and provide you with an exciting work environment, where to succeed you need the desire to work hands on and own your projects.
