Job description

Role Overview

At Aries Global, we’re driven by a singular ambition - to build one of the world’s truly exceptional software groups. A high-performing culture where we’re able to deliver transformative value to our group, and a place where every team member can grow, thrive, and achieve their full potential. A company that operates with unmatched precision, creativity, and impact. That creates enduring value while upholding the highest standards of integrity and responsibility.

Our mission is simple: we don’t just acquire companies - we build enduring, AI-native software platforms. We partner with founders who have built great products and help them unlock their next chapter through our AI-native operating system, centralised GTM engine, and world-class execution capabilities.

We bring together exceptional operators, product builders, and leaders - people who insist on the highest standards and excel in a culture of fast pace, focused execution, and deep ownership. In return, you’ll experience extraordinary growth, meaningful impact from day one, and a career trajectory far steeper than you thought possible.

About the Role

You'll own the data foundations behind decision-making across Aries and our portfolio companies - the models, pipelines and dashboards that operators, founders and our investment team rely on every day.

Responsibilities

• Own the data stack. Design, build and run pipelines and models in dbt and Snowflake that are fast, tested and trusted.

• Turn data into decisions. Build the dashboards, portfolio reporting and analyses leadership and operators use to run the business.

• Onboard new companies. Bring each acquisition's data into the group platform quickly and cleanly.

• Make data AI-ready. Set the standards for quality and documentation that our AI products and automations build on.

What We're Looking For

• Analytical foundations. A strong analytical foundation built through experience in start-ups, investment banking, PE/VC, strategy, or management consulting - environments that demand rigorous thinking, structured problem-solving, and rapid synthesis of information.

• Hands-on data skills. Strong SQL and experience with a modern data stack (dbt, Snowflake or similar). Python is a plus.

• Action bias. You thrive in ambiguity, form clear mental models quickly, take ownership instinctively, and enjoy diving deep into unfamiliar software categories. You operate with autonomy, intensity, and a strong internal drive.

• Communication & reasoning clarity. You communicate in a structured, concise, and compelling way - verbally and in writing, and you can explain data to non-technical people.

Why Join Aries

• Unmatched talent density - be amongst and learn from the brightest.

• High-trust, high-autonomy environment with real ownership - exposure you won’t get anywhere else.

• A company with global reach, meaningful work, and potential for long-term growth.

Our Process

Joining Aries Global means stepping into a culture that values excellence, curiosity, and potential above all else. Our selection process reflects that.

If you excel at our initial screening, you move forward to interviews that dive deeper into your ambitions, mindset, and how you can shape growth with us. You’ll take on a few challenges designed to see how you think, learn, and adapt under pressure. They’re demanding by design - because the work we do is, too.

We set the bar high and only make offers when we’re confident it’s an extraordinary fit - for both you and Aries Global.

And if you’re hesitating because you don’t tick every box - don’t. Talent, drive, and the will to grow matter most here. If you’re inspired by our mission and believe you can make an impact, we want to meet you.

Aries Global is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity, foster inclusion, and ensure every candidate has equitable access to succeed. If you need accommodations during the process, simply let us know, we’ll make it happen.
