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.

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:

Who You Are:

• Graduating senior from a top-tier undergraduate program (Class of 2026) OR 1-2 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, or similarly analytical roles.

• 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, 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.
