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.
