About Groq
Inference is the engine that powers AI, and Groq was built from the silicon up to deliver the world's fastest inference at scale. We pioneered the LPU—the first processor designed specifically for AI inference—and are transforming that innovation into a global cloud platform powering production AI workloads.

With the capital, infrastructure, and team to execute, we're uniquely positioned to define the next era of AI infrastructure. The opportunity is massive, and it's still wide open. Now let's go build it!

Mission
As a Fundraising & Capital Markets Analyst, you will be the analytical engine behind Groq's capital-raising efforts. Reporting to the Fundraising & Capital Markets Principal once they join, and working alongside the Executive Chair, CEO, and CFO, you will build the models, materials, and investor data that support Groq's equity, debt, and structured capital raises.
This is a hands-on, high-exposure role inside Groq's Office of the CEO and Executive Chair. You will work on live transactions from preparation through close: building financial models and valuation analyses, preparing investor materials, managing the data room, and keeping complex processes organized and on schedule. You will see firsthand how senior leaders raise capital from sovereign wealth funds, strategic investors, and institutional capital, and you will take on more responsibility as you show strong judgment.
Success requires strong financial modeling skills, attention to detail, sound judgment with sensitive information, and the ability to keep several workstreams moving at once in a fast-paced, high-expectations environment.
Location
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area.
This role will be a core member of Groq's Office of the CEO and Executive Chair, which we are building in Dallas.
