What we look for
Most Associates have two-to-three years of professional, quantitatively-based experience (typically from investment banking, direct investing, or consulting, although we invite other backgrounds to apply). Successful candidates will have a proven track record of leadership skills, outstanding academic (typically a GPA of 3.6+), and/or professional and extra-curricular achievements. Our strongest candidates are passionate and hardworking while maintaining a positive attitude and sense of humor.
The Associate role requires highly motivated and self-driven individuals who exhibit high attention to detail. They should have strong analytical and communication skills and must be able to think quickly and thrive in a fast-paced environment. We believe the ingredients of a great investor are similar to those of a great entrepreneur. Both require passion and drive, a voracious appetite to learn, insatiable curiosity, a genuine interest in business and how companies work and, perhaps most importantly, a resilience and relentless optimism that the next great company is right around the corner.
