About the Role: The Volition Capital Analyst Program is a structured, two-year program designed for exceptional undergraduates or early professionals seeking a career-defining experience in growth equity investing. Modeled after the analyst tracks at leading consulting and investment banking firms, this immersive program provides a deep foundation in sourcing, financial analysis, market research, and strategic thinking — all within a dynamic, entrepreneurial investment team. Analysts will be front-line contributors from day one, working alongside Partners and senior team members to identify, evaluate, and help execute investments in fast-growing technology businesses. The program is intentionally rigorous, fast-paced, development-focused, and built to develop the foundation of great investors. At the end of the two years, top-performing Analysts will be considered for promotion into Volition’s Associate Program — a longer-term investing track. Others will graduate with a prestigious, hands-on investing experience and go on to pursue roles at top-tier startups, Volition portfolio companies, MBA programs, or other leading investment firms. What You’ll Do: Every day, you’ll be expected to operate towards the mission of Volition’s Analyst program: “Identify, evaluate, and qualify high-potential, founder-owned businesses by developing a deep understanding of market dynamics, business models, and growth drivers — serving as a critical front-line contributor to Volition’s investment pipeline and supporting high-quality deal execution throughout the two-year program.” How You’ll Do It: 1. Think! - Think like an investor – hitting numbers is a part of the process, but those who excel will go beyond sending an email to hit a number. They will reach out to founders with the purpose of identifying exceptional investment opportunities. 2. Sourcing & Deal Origination - Use Volition’s proprietary tools, sourcing platforms, and thematic strategies to identify promising growth-stage companies. - Lead outreach to founders and C-level executives — often serving as their first point of contact with Volition. - Track market trends, monitor competitive landscapes, and surface insights on emerging investment themes. 3. Pipeline Management & Execution - Maintain an organized and data-driven deal pipeline. - Prioritize and escalate high-value deals with conviction, ensuring seamless handoff to senior team members. - Ensure pipeline diversification across industries, deal stages, and geographies. 4. Financial & Market Analysis - Build and present financial models, supporting investment decisions with valuation insights. - Develop a deep understanding of key financial metrics (revenue growth, EBITDA, retention, CAC, LTV, etc.). - Conduct industry research and competitive analysis to assess investment potential. 5. Intellectual Curiosity & Investment Research - Present industry trends or investment thesis, demonstrating market expertise. - Stay ahead of emerging trends, competitive dynamics, and investment themes to inform sourcing strategies. - Proactively seek mentorship, challenge conventional thinking, and develop unique investment perspectives. 6. Execution, Resilience & Communication - Execute outbound touchpoints (calls, emails, LinkedIn) to engage founders. - Maintain persistence and adaptability in founder interactions, refining messaging and positioning. - Communicate investment insights clearly and concisely, ensuring impactful deal discussions. 7. Collaboration & Team Contribution - Build and maintain long-term relationships with founders, executives, and the investment community. - Work closely with Associates, VPs, and Partners to refine investment theses and drive deals forward. - Contribute to team knowledge-sharing and pipeline strategy, strengthening overall firm effectiveness. Who You Are: - Graduating senior from a top-tier undergraduate program (Class of 2026) OR 1–2 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, or similarly analytical roles. - Intellectually curious — especially about how businesses operate, grow, and create value. You have a genuine passion for understanding different business models, market dynamics, and what separates good from great companies. - You’re a thinker –you go beyond what is expected, look beyond what the numbers are simply telling you, and you see the whole picture, not just what is presented. - Exceptional communicator — clear, compelling, and confident across written and verbal formats. - Strong analytical and research skills; comfortable in Excel, PowerPoint, and navigating market data tools. - A persistent self-starter with a high attention to detail, the ability to manage multiple priorities with precision, and a willingness to get back on the horse when things don’t go perfectly. - Collaborative, humble, and growth-oriented — energized by working on a tight-knit team and learning every day. - You're the type of person who brings energy, light-heartedness, and positivity to your work.
