About The Role

Please note our 2026 Wolf Graduate Program cohort is now full, but we'll begin hiring for our 2027 class in September 2026. If you apply now, we'll keep your application on file.

The Wolf Graduate Program is Fora's premier early-career opportunity, designed as a startup bootcamp for ambitious graduates (0-2 years experience) seeking their foot in the door at a top-tier, VC-backed startup.

You'll work cross-functionally with product, engineering, finance, advisor experience, and more, contributing to real projects with measurable impact from day one. Previous graduates have advanced to roles like product managers, chief of staff, data scientists, engineers, and AI innovators.

Use of AI in our Hiring Process

Fora uses an automated employment decision tool (AEDT) offered by Apriora Inc. dba Alex to assist with screening candidates for the Wolf Program. The tool may evaluate applications against predefined criteria (e.g., education, experience) and conduct AI-assisted interviews to assess role-related competencies. While Alex assists with initial screening, all final hiring decisions are made by Fora’s hiring team.

If you prefer not to participate in an AI-assisted interview or require reasonable accommodation, contact careers@foratravel.com with the subject line: “Wolf Program - Alternative Process Request.”
