At Sanoma, work is done with the customer first, based on data, smartly, responsibly and together. We all have space to develop, act and be ourselves. Everyday practices are flexible and constantly developed. We aim high and work hard, but it's also fun at work.
We have a long history of successful summer job recruits, which have brought many committed digital industry experts into our ranks. That's why we decided to expand our talent acquisition by launching a new Sanoma Media Trainee program. Technological growth and the rapid development of digital products at Sanoma in areas such as news, entertainment, video, audio and marketing solutions have led to an increasing need for fresh experts in an ever-changing operating environment. Today, Sanoma Media Finland employs more than 150 technology and data experts as well as numerous product experts and designers.
Sanoma utilizes a wide range of programming languages and technologies in its development work, as well as experimenting with new innovations. We use the following programming languages, among others:
We use Github extensively for version control and AWS CDK and CloudFormation for infrastructure management. We operate extensively in cloud environments with DevOps principles in both AWS and Azure environments. Our deployments are typically fully automated and we use Github Actions and AWS CodePipeline for CI/CD, and host our apps in AWS cloud using Docker or serverless functions. We use several different testing tools and test automation, thus we choose the tool on a case-by-case basis. In terms of user experience and design, we work with Figma, Supernova and Adobe products. In addition to analytics, we use Cambri -testing tool and various a/b testing methods for measuring experience and data-driven decision-making.
Sanoma Media Trainee is an 8-month training program with a fixed monthly salary. During the program, you will do meaningful and diverse work. Your colleagues include the best people in the industry: creative talents, top experts, praised supervisors and exceptionally nice people.
We expect our trainees to have ambition but we also provide support and experience for the beginning of one's career. We are looking for motivated digital industry workers to develop into experts in the media field at Sanoma with real work projects and products that are important to us. More detailed prerequisites for success can be found from the application form of each role.
We provide our trainees with a customized common study program and a personal development plan. The trainees form their own community and have additional support network from their own teams, program leader and committed management. Each trainee has their own personal mentor and gets weekly training for their role. In these 8 months trainees get to explore our different businesses and teams as well as their own informal get-togethers and events with other employees.
Sanoma Media Trainee -program provides a solid foundation for a career in digital product development. The trainees have an opportunity for a permanent employment at Sanoma. We are also open to support a thesis during the trainee period. The trainee program has an agreed fixed duration of 8 months (May-December) and a salary of EUR 2 800 per month.
We expect the applicant to be ready to commit to our organization as an employee as well as be interested in the media industry and product development. The applicant must be able to take the initiative but have good teamwork skills, as all work happens within a team. Finnish language is considered an advantage but is not a requirement for applying. At Sanoma, we can also support the employee's Finnish language development, and we already offer this opportunity to several of our English-speaking employees. The work will be carried out in hybrid-mode, but the applicant must also commit to working at Sanomatalo in Helsinki on a weekly basis and attending some of the ceremonies on-site. More detailed requirements for each role can be found on the role application form.
We will start going through the applications already before the application period ends on 27th of February. There is a two-part interview process for the selected applicants in March and we will also inform those who were not selected to the process. The recruits will be decided at the latest in the beginning of April, when we also inform those who didn’t pass through the process. Work is scheduled to start in the beginning of May.
Finnish language is considered an advantage but is not a requirement for applying. We will organize the program in English if at least one participant doesn’t speak Finnish. Proficient level of English is mandatory since we have many English speaking experts developing our digi products.
Each trainee will be assigned a development team in either news & feature media or our data capabilities team that serves multiple different media brands. Examples of what the trainees might work with:
Additionally each trainee goes through a personal development plan and a shared training program.
Our goal is to create diverse Finnish media for future generations and to be a diverse, equal and inclusive workplace. We welcome applications from different kinds of people and educational backgrounds. The most important thing is the desire to learn new things.
