Job Description:

Agora is partnering with a later-stage venture capital fund that invests in some of the most exciting and high-growth consumer brands in the UK and internationally. The fund backs bold, ambitious founders across sectors such as food & beverage, wellness, fashion, and beauty — and plays an active, hands-on role in helping these businesses scale.

The Opportunity

The fund is looking to hire an Investment Analyst to join its London-based investment team. This is a unique opportunity for a high-potential individual to break into venture capital and gain full exposure to the investment process.

The successful candidate will demonstrate both strong technical rigour — including financial and commercial analysis — and the emotional intelligence required to build deep relationships with founders. A genuine passion for the consumer space is essential, as is the ability to operate in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

This role would suit someone with 1–3 years of experience in investment banking, strategy consulting, or a high-growth startup/founder background who is now looking to make the move into VC.

Key Responsibilities

• Support end-to-end investment processes including market mapping, financial modelling, and due diligence
• Meet with founders and assess new investment opportunities
• Analyse commercial models, competitive dynamics, and brand potential
• Help shape investment theses and track trends across consumer sub-sectors
• Provide strategic support to portfolio companies post-investment

Candidate Profile

• 1–3 years of experience in investment banking, strategy consulting, or an operational/founder role within a consumer business
• Strong analytical toolkit and commercial instinct
• High EQ and strong interpersonal skills; able to build trust with founders and stakeholders
• A deep interest in consumer trends and a passion for brands
• A self-starter with drive, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset

What’s on Offer

• A rare entry point into consumer-focused venture capital
• The chance to work with an impressive team and high-potential portfolio
• Exposure to deal execution and portfolio strategy from day one
• Strong long-term development prospects and competitive compensation
