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. Our team is increasingly AI-forward - Analysts are expected to actively use AI tools to source deals, sharpen outreach, accelerate research, and streamline pipeline management, and to bring genuine curiosity about how these tools can make the team faster and sharper.
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, leveraging AI tools to work faster and smarter at every stage.
How You'll Do It:
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, leveraging tools to sharpen
that outreach rather than replace the judgment behind it.
Sourcing & Deal Origination
• Use Volition's proprietary tools, sourcing platforms, thematic strategies, and next-gen
research tools to identify promising growth-stage companies faster and more
comprehensively.
• Lead outreach to founders and C-level executives - often serving as their first point of
contact with Volition - using AI to help personalize, prioritize, and scale outreach
without losing a human touch.
• Track market trends, monitor competitive landscapes, and surface insights on emerging
investment themes, using AI-assisted research to cover more ground and spot patterns
faster.
Pipeline Management & Execution
• Maintain an organized and data-driven deal pipeline, using tech-enabled workflows to
keep records current, flag stale opportunities, and surface where attention is needed.
• Prioritize and escalate high-value deals with conviction, ensuring seamless handoff to
senior team members.
• Ensure pipeline diversification across industries, deal stages, and geographies.
Financial & Market Analysis
• Build and present financial models, supporting investment decisions with valuation
insights, utilizing ways to accelerate data gathering and modeling workflows.
• 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,
drawing on AI-powered tools to synthesize larger volumes of information quickly.
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 - including how Artificial Intelligence itself is reshaping industries and
business models across our target sectors.
• Proactively seek mentorship, challenge conventional thinking, and develop unique
investment perspectives.
• Continuously look for ways to apply new automation tools and workflows to make our
process faster, sharper, and more scalable - and share what you learn with the team.
Execution, Resilience & Communication
• Execute outbound touchpoints (calls, emails, LinkedIn) to engage founders, using tools
to help draft, refine, and scale outreach thoughtfully.
• Maintain persistence and adaptability in founder interactions, refining messaging and
positioning.
• Communicate investment insights clearly and concisely, ensuring impactful deal
discussions.
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 - including sharing AI tools, prompts, and workflows that make the whole
team more effective.
Who You Are:
• Graduating senior from a top-tier undergraduate program (Class of 2026) OR 1-2 years
of experience out of school.
• Genuinely excited about using AI to automate and improve how work gets done - you
look for ways to use these tools to work smarter, not just faster, and you enjoy figuring
out new workflows rather than waiting to be told how.
• 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, AI-powered
research and productivity tools, 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.
