ABOUT INITIO CAPITAL

THE ROLE

As a Business Operations Research Associate, you will help identify promising markets, companies, products, operators, and investment or growth opportunities. You will turn ambiguous information into clear research, structured analysis, prioritized target lists, and practical recommendations.

This is a remote, flexible role for candidates who are analytical, commercially curious, and comfortable moving quickly across business, finance, technology, and strategy topics.

WHAT YOU MAY WORK ON
  • Research companies, markets, business models, and investment themes.
  • Build target lists, market maps, competitive scans, and opportunity pipelines.
  • Analyze data, documents, websites, interviews, and public information to form concise recommendations.
  • Support strategy, sourcing, diligence, product, growth, finance, and operations projects.
WHO THIS IS FOR

This is a strong fit for candidates interested in consulting, finance, investment research, product strategy, software, AI/data, business operations, corporate development, private markets, or entrepreneurship.

COMPENSATION

Compensation varies by project and experience. Many roles are flexible, remote, and project-based.
