entry-level finance roles besides IB/quant?

apart from equity research analyst, what roles in ER/AM/other fields of finance would be good for someone interested in 1)analyzing business models and market landscapes, 2)learning business strategy and investing, and 3)a long-term career in strategy & operations, investing, or entrepreneurship? -Not interested in quant or super quantitative roles. More like fundamental investing and how companies work. -"good" defined as interesting work that also cultivates useful skills for the purposes described above. thanks!
