Giant Leap Trainee, Brand AI Development

Are you ready to take a Giant Leap? We’re looking for an AI Brand Assistant Development Trainee for our Giant Leap program – a project-based internship in our HQ in Vantaa. You will research, design, build, and pilot an AI Brand Assistant that teams across Vaisala (Marketing, Sales, HR) can use in their daily work, as part of the Vaisala Brand AI Tool project. As a Giant Leaper, you will get your own project to lead for three months, starting in June.

Vaisala is a global leader in measurement instruments and intelligence helping industries, nations, people, and the planet to thrive. From predicting hurricanes to optimizing renewable energy production, our technology is used where it matters the most – from data centers, windfarms and laboratories to airports, the Arctic and even the surface of Mars. Vaisala is recognized in TIME Magazine's World's Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2025 study. Our team of over 2,400 experts and 59 nationalities around the world is committed to taking every measure for the planet. Driven by our shared purpose, curiosity, and pioneering spirit, we stay ahead and make a difference. At Vaisala, you don't have to fit in to belong.

Giant Leap is a unique opportunity for you to be the project manager of your own project, with the support of your teammates and project supervisor. Every year, these projects are carefully selected by our leadership teams, meaning that you get to work on real-life questions that are important for us as a company.

We invest in your growth with training sessions throughout the summer. Along with lessons from your own field and work life in general, you have a chance to learn, for instance, presentation skills, project management and problem solving. Connections built with fellow Giant Leapers, Vaisala’s brilliant experts and our leadership form an invaluable network for your career. Many of our former Giant Leapers have also gone on to build impressive careers at Vaisala after the program.

What will your summer look like?

By the end of your summer, you'll deliver a functional, validated prototype that has been tested and refined with real internal teams. A core part of your project is to discover and define which features and capabilities this AI Assistant should have starting from initial user research and experimentation through to a focused, high‑impact prototype, all the way to documenting and coaching teams on how to use what you have built. You'll shape how AI can actively participate in brand stewardship, not just as a passive reference tool.

Maintaining brand consistency at scale is a challenge in a global organization. Your work will demonstrate how Vaisala can leverage AI to reduce content creation costs, accelerate time-to-market, and unify internal and external communications across markets and departments. Beyond the immediate deliverables, you'll help shape how our Brand function evolves to harness emerging AI technologies.

You'll work directly with Daniel Goodall, Head of Brand, who will be your supervisor and strategic guide. You'll collaborate closely with our Creative Operations team, and engage closely with stakeholders across Communications, Marketing, HR, Sales, & IT. This is a cross-functional project where you'll experience firsthand how brand strategy intersects with multiple departments in a global B2B technology company. The team is energetic, forward-thinking, and eager to explore how AI can revolutionize traditional workflows. You'll be joining collaborators who value experimentation and innovative thinking.

This role is based at Vaisala HQ in Vantaa with a hybrid model, requiring 2–3 office days per week for collaboration and stakeholder engagement.

What you'll learn:

This internship offers the chance to develop high-value skills at the intersection of AI, design, and business strategy:

• AI expertise: Develop your prompt engineering skills and the technical design of multimodal Generative AI agents.
• Strategic translation: Deep, practical experience converting strategic vision (brand identity) into scalable, functional technology solutions.
• Organizational intelligence: Insider understanding of content workflows at a global B2B technology company, including the real challenges of scaling efficiency across geographies and departments.

What kind of skillset are we looking for?

We are looking for someone in the final stage of their master’s degree (MSc) in a relevant field such as Computer Science (with an AI/ML focus), Information Networks, Computational Design, Digital Art, or another discipline that combines technical skills with design and workflow analysis.

Additional skills include: 

• Experience with prompt engineering: Demonstrated ability to write effective, structured prompts for both LLMs (text) and generative image tools (visual).
• AI tool proficiency: Hands-on experience with leading Generative AI platforms.
• Visual literacy: A foundational understanding of design principles and brand guidelines.
• Self-driven: You can take full ownership of a large project and structure your time and deliverables over the summer.
• Analytical and creative: You enjoy translating abstract concepts (like "brand tone") into concrete technical logic.
• Practical communicator: You are comfortable working with both technical peers in IT and non-technical stakeholders.
