Most of our team is based in Helsinki (some in Tampere and Turku), but like the rest of the elisians, we can work flexibly (in Southern Finland).

Why join us?

You will be given a large portion of responsibility, but equal amounts of freedom and trust. We’re a dedicated cross-disciplinary venture team, working on a new disruptive solution to the energy markets – a true startup but inside Elisa.

Elisa has been ranked as one of the Finland's best employers for many years, for many reasons: huge amounts of flexibility, a friendly and laid-back working environment, great leadership that we are truly proud of, a continuous curiosity and an innovative aim to develop, as well as a fundamental invitation to come as you are. We understand and honor the fact that each Elisian comes with families, hobbies, problems, backgrounds and lives of their own. Read more about Elisa and the elisians here.
