2026 Growth Acceleration Analyst 

As GA’s “in-house management consulting group”, the Growth Acceleration team is deeply involved across the investment cycle, beginning in diligence (partnering with GA investment teams to evaluate potential investments), and continuing into every stage of value creation (partnering with portfolio companies to achieve their top value creation priorities). Centered in New York, the team supports diligence and value creation projects across GA’s global investment portfolio.

Growth Acceleration Analysts receive focused training and mentorship from day one to learn the core “analyst toolkit” and contribute to a mix of high-priority diligence and portfolio value creation projects within GA’s portfolio (across key practices areas such as go-to-market, pricing, operational efficiency, and AI/data science). They work in small, collaborative teams and gain regular exposure to senior leaders (across Growth Acceleration, GA investment teams, investment prospects, and portfolio companies).

The Growth Acceleration analyst program is a 2-year program, starting July 27, 2026. Successful analysts will be considered for future opportunities to continue their career with GA.

What You’ll Do

The Growth Acceleration Analyst will learn and apply key concepts from the “analyst toolkit” taught at top-tier consulting firms (e.g., market sizing, competitive positioning, voice of customer, pricing, digital marketing, operational efficiency, org design). While each diligence & value creation initiative is distinct, core activities & responsibilities will include:

Commercial due diligence and portfolio value creation:

• Conduct primary research activities and analysis (e.g., calls with industry experts, surveys of consumers and key decision makers) to understand key market trends and competitive dynamics
• Review market research reports, alternative data, and company information to rapidly evaluate market landscape and competitive positioning
• Perform analysis of internal and external data sources to build market models and develop a rigorous view on key market sizing thresholds (e.g., TAM, SAM, vended market)
• Synthesize findings across disparate workstreams to deliver proprietary market perspective materials
• Collaborate internally with in-house subject matter experts on go-to-market, operational efficiency, pricing, and AI/data science topics, to shape and execute on high-priority initiatives alongside portfolio company leaders
• Package materials into executive-level presentations to be shared and discussed with key internal and external stakeholders (e.g., senior investors, C-level management, founders)
• Gain exposure to and build subject matter expertise across a broad range of industries and business models within GA’s global portfolio

Thematic & practice development:

• Support analysis of macro-level themes of interest across GA's core sectors and geographies
• Support development of GA’s internal IP, toolkits, and playbooks across diligence and core value creation areas (e.g., diagnostic frameworks, AI implementation strategies) by codifying best practices and building reusable assets
• Help identify and evaluate strategic vendors, tools, and experts that can accelerate impact
