Product Operations Intern

Location: London
Office attendance: 4 days per week in-office (Paddington)

Vega is an early-stage startup. There's no playbook, limited structure, and the expectations are high. You'll own what you build, move fast with limited hand-holding, and be expected to go beyond the job description when it matters.

The problems are genuinely hard and the bar is high. But the people who thrive here leave a real mark on the product, the company, and an industry that's long overdue for change.

About Vega:

Private markets are shaping into one of the most influential forces in the global economy over the coming decades, with more than $20 trillion in AuM today and expected to already triple by 2032. Today, the industry is at an inflection point as it enters an era of hyper-growth, increased complexity, and brand-new demands. To competitively service and scale their client base across the entire investment lifecycle, managers need a technological transformation. Vega is delivering the industry’s purpose-built infrastructure with AltOS – the AI-powered client & distribution operating system for alternatives.

Vega’s is leading the private markets industry into the age of agentic AI, setting the market standard and bringing creative, first-principles solutions to a legacy industry long dominated by archaic point solutions.

Vega has raised over $28M in funding from Apollo, Motive Ventures, Picus Capital, and 60 senior executives from the alternative investment industry.
