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.

Some Of Your Responsibilities

• Uncover high-potential software opportunities across our core investment themes through trend analysis and market discovery.

• Map and assess key software segments to fuel our thesis-driven sourcing.

• Lead impactful analytical work—financial models, valuations, market research, and competitor benchmarking.

• Drive deep-dive market intelligence to sharpen our investment conviction.

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.

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.

Culture & Velocity Fit
You’re energized by environments defined by ambition, precision, and ownership and a high standard of integrity and responsibility.

Communication & Reasoning Clarity
You communicate in a structured, concise, and compelling way - verbally and in writing. You’re highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple workstreams without sacrificing quality or momentum.

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.
