IHME Helsinki is seeking a Communications Intern

The internship will start on 28 July and end on 29 September. Working hours are mainly on weekdays during office hours. Except for the IHME Helsinki Commission’s opening day on 23 August. During the period of the Commission, it is also advisable to be prepared to work evenings or weekends during the work’s opening hours, if necessary.

The internship will take place at the IHME Helsinki office (Pitkänsillanranta 3 B) and at the Voimala Museum (Hämeentie 163).

The internship will be paid at the rate set by the intern’s educational institution.

As part of the IHME team, the intern will be involved in communications, marketing, and other production-support tasks for the Commission, such as:

• Producing social media content for IHME Helsinki (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Bluesky)
• Updating IHME Helsinki’s website
• Producing venue visibility for the Commission.

To familiarize you with the Commission, an interest in the history and present day of Ukraine, the environmental impact of energy production, and the history of the Vanhankaupunginkoski rapids are an advantage. Knowledge of contemporary art and an interest in public art will help candidates familiarise themselves with IHME Helsinki’s activities. It is important that you see yourself in this role, are inspired by it, and want to learn new things.
