Endeavor • New York, NY

15h • Hybrid

About The Position

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 and evaluates candidate entrepreneurs at the final stages of the selection journey. As an Analyst on this team, you will conduct due diligence on a wide variety of companies progressing through the candidate pipeline, and prepare in-depth written profiles on key business elements, including the product, market opportunity, and growth strategy. You will also work with our team on strategic and operational projects, while building an understanding of Endeavor’s markets. You will work directly with founders and CEOs of high-growth scaleups, as well as with colleagues from around the world, to understand and present businesses across a wide variety of sectors including - but certainly not limited to - fintech, AI, commerce, B2B software, healthcare, and frontier tech (e.g., space, biotech, quantum). In addition to candidate company analysis, you will also be responsible for analysis of trends of entrepreneurial activity across Endeavor’s 35+ markets, as well as the collaborative execution of monthly International Selection Panels (ISPs). 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. ISPs take place both virtually and in-person, with the potential for travel opportunities for staff - recent ISPs have taken place in Athens, São Paulo, and Bali; with five exciting destinations planned for 2027!
