Senior Analyst, Entrepreneur Experience (EX)

Senior Analyst, Entrepreneur Experience (EX) Apply for this position About the role At Endeavor, we back the founders who will define the next decade of Ukraine's economy – not incrementally, and not from the sidelines. This is the role at the center of that work. You'll own a portfolio of Endeavor Entrepreneurs as their trusted advisor and strategic partner. You'll know their businesses cold – the model, the growth levers, the bottlenecks – and you'll bring the full weight of a 3,000-entrepreneur, 50-market network to bear on their hardest problems, whether that's a Series C raise, a US market entry or a pricing overhaul. Success here isn't measured in activity. It's measured in the trust founders place in you and the outcomes you help them reach. We're looking for someone with real business firepower – the kind of person who has spent years in top-tier consulting, VC, PE, or a senior operating seat, and who can be a genuine thought partner to a unicorn founder rather than a note-taker.
