The Operations Associate Program is The Voleon Group's early-career rotational program: three six-month rotations across the firm's business functions, followed by permanent placement on a team, designed to develop the firm's next generation of leaders. We hire a small number of exceptional graduates each year and invest heavily in their development through substantive rotations, direct exposure to senior leadership, and a structured path to a permanent role.
