Student Assistant for Grundfos’ External Relations Team

Would you like to join a global external relations team, working in the intersection between business and politics? Develop your competencies by bringing your academic toolbox into play? Grundfos Holding A/S is looking for a Student Assistant to join the External Relations team.

What is the job about?
Through our role as a global leader on water solutions, the External Relations team is actively engaged in the global political debate on some of the world’s most significant challenges: reducing energy consumption and bringing safe water and sanitation to all. We support all parts of the business on political issues, and we have a global responsibility. As a Student Assistant you will therefore gain a unique understanding of the interplay between business and politics in different parts of the business across the world.

Your primary tasks and responsibilities will be to assist the growing External Relations team, currently consisting of 11 full-time employees placed in various countries. The tasks include:

• Analysing the effects of political and legislative developments on Grundfos’ business.
• Drafting position papers, consultation responses, opinion pieces, speeches, etc.
• Desk research and quantitative data analysis on relevant issues for Grundfos – primarily within the fields of climate & energy, trade, and water.
• Coordination of Grundfos’ participation on major global water and climate events.
• Support senior executives’ interactions with political stakeholders.
• Ad hoc tasks

What do you need to apply?
• You have strong analytical and methodological skills, and you are quality-oriented and organised in your work.
• You have an international outlook, and you speak and write English fluently.
• You must be able to connect the dots between politics and Grundfos’ business, and knowledge about the political climate agenda and water and energy sector is a great advantage.
• PowerPoint and Excel skills will be valued highly, as these are our primary working tools.
• Preferably, you have 1+ years left of your studies – within politics, economics, or business, but the right candidate with another background is relevant as well.

We are seeking a Student Assistant for our office in Brøndby in Denmark. You will be working 15 hours a week and we are of course flexible during exams. It will be possible to work from home and as we are a global team, travels to Copenhagen and other places in Europe might occur.
