Job Description

NOTE: This application will close on September 30th, 2026.

For this role, we are seeking a rising university senior academic level (graduating Fall 2027 or Spring 2028). If you are a current senior interested in full-time positions starting Summer 2026, the job posting for our full-time Analyst program can be found here.

Endeavor’s mission of building entrepreneurial ecosystems begins with identifying and selecting the fastest-growing, most aspirational founders and businesses. The Entrepreneur Selection team oversees Endeavor’s worldwide pipeline strategy and evaluates candidate entrepreneurs at the final stages of the selection journey. As a Summer Analyst on this team, you will support your direct manager on analyzing a variety of scale-up companies progressing through the candidate pipeline, and prepare an in-depth written profile on at least one candidate that has reached the final step in Endeavor’s selection process. You will also work with your manager on strategic and operational projects, while building an understanding of Endeavor’s markets.

With your manager, you will work primarily with one founder and CEO of a high-growth scale-up, as well as with colleagues from around the world, to understand and diligence a company in Endeavor’s selection process. Endeavor is sector agnostic and companies in our selection funnel come from a wide range of industries sectors including - but certainly not limited to - fintech, AI, commerce, B2B software, healthcare, and frontier tech (e.g., space, biotech, quantum).

In addition to supporting your manager in the development of candidate company analysis, you will also be responsible for collaborating in the execution of the monthly International Selection Panels (ISPs) that will take place over the course of your internship. During ISPs, we gather select business leaders from Endeavor’s worldwide network - top founders, investors, and operators alike - to evaluate entrepreneur candidates on their fit with Endeavor's selection criteria.

Specific responsibilities will be defined directly with your manager - they will include:

• Executing on business analysis and profile development: Build a high-quality, polished business profile for at least one candidate at the International Selection Panel (ISP) stage. As a Summer Analyst, you will have the opportunity to take the lead on one business profile with hands-on support from your manager. Profile building entails business model and industry research, meeting with founders to delve into their company while taking diligent notes, and more.

• Supporting ongoing strategic projects: Work with your direct manager on other strategic initiatives spanning team operations, global pipeline, worldwide selection excellence, etc.

• Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders: Plug into the day-to-day operations of the Entrepreneur Selection team and support with daily tasks to execute monthly ISPs. Additionally, you will build relationships with Endeavor’s worldwide teams while diligencing candidate businesses.

Required:

• Must be a student attending an institution of higher education with courses leading to a degree, certificate, or diploma - this is an internship available only to undergraduate students.

• Rising university senior academic level (graduating Fall 2027 or Spring 2028)

• Bring a learning and collaborative mindset and be proactive in checking in with direct managers when unsure or unable to make a decision or solve a problem.

• Come prepared to work in a fast-paced environment and support teammates by completing assigned tasks on time, helping others, and communicating workload with their manager.

• Must be legally eligible to work in the U.S. We will not be able to interview or select candidates without valid U.S. work authorization for the 2027 year.

Preferred

• Demonstrated interest (coursework, internship experience, etc.) in entrepreneurship, emerging markets, and/or venture capital.

• Prior relevant internship / extra-curricular experience in a high-performance environment, including but not limited to startups / scaleups, venture capital, finance, and consulting is a plus.

• Proficient data analysis skills (Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets).

• Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., Claude, Replit, Gemini) to automate processes, analyze data, and/or build agents or other tools.

You are a quick learner and curious thinker, eager to learn about the way businesses and the world work. You communicate clearly and with empathy. An exemplary candidate has:

• Keen business intuition: You can quickly ramp up on key concepts of entrepreneurship and venture capital. You are eager to learn about businesses across various verticals, business models, and geographies. You will be exposed to multiple types of businesses, ranging from a Nigerian digital bank, to a Brazilian ed-tech platform.

• Effective communication skills: We value strong written and verbal communication skills. You will be expected to produce clear, concise, and objective writing, as well as to edit others’ arguments for clarity. You will collaborate with Endeavor colleagues from cultures all around the world, as well as directly with VIP stakeholders, including leading meetings with top-tier founders.

• Focused attention to detail: You own your outputs, and catch mistakes before they happen - your deliverables will be shared with high-level stakeholders, including Endeavor’s entrepreneur candidates, ISP panelists, and leadership team.

• Self-driven organizational skills: We work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. While we are highly-collaborative, you will proactively manage your own time.

• Applications close: September 30, 2026 at 11:59pm

• Interview process:

  • First round interviews will take place in early-to-mid October.

  • Select candidates will be invited to submit a take-home assessment by the end of October.

  • Additional interview rounds will take place in early November, and final decisions will be communicated shortly thereafter.
