About Altis
Altis is a venture intelligence platform that helps investors make faster, better decisions on Series A/B/C companies. We conduct deep primary research - expert interviews with customers, competitors, and industry specialists - to build the analysis that drives investment committee decisions.
We’re backed by Primary Venture Partners, co-founded by a Midas-list investor, and scaling quickly. We’re a lean, high-ownership team building from the ground up. If you want to be close to the action in venture and learn how the best investors and operators think, this is the role.
About the Role
The Network & Client Services team is the engine of the Altis research process. As an Associate, you’ll identify, engage, and recruit industry experts whose insights help fuel our research and help clients uncover information they cannot access elsewhere. This is a frontline role: you’ll be on the phone and in your inbox daily, building relationships with some of the most interesting people across the fastest-growing, AI-native startups in the world. You won’t be filing reports. You’ll be building a network.
What We’re Looking For
You’re early in your career but not early in your ambition. You’ve spent 1-3 years in a role that required you to hustle - sales, business development, recruiting, consulting, or something in between. You know how to pick up the phone, take initiative, and follow through. You’ll thrive here if you:
Are energized by working toward goals on a tight timeline
Can quickly earn trust with sophisticated, high-caliber professionals
Are naturally curious about AI, startups, and venture capital, and want to understand the ecosystem deeply
Operate with urgency and take ownership of outcomes, not just activity
Are organized enough to manage a pipeline without losing the human side of relationship building
Bring humility and an eagerness to learn
What You’ll Do
Source and identify industry experts whose backgrounds match the needs of each research project
Run high-volume outreach by phone and email to engage and recruit experts on tight timelines
Qualify experts and schedule them into client conversations, managing logistics end to end
Maintain an organized pipeline of prospects, keeping follow-through tight so opportunities don’t go cold
Build lasting relationships with experts so they return for future research
Requirements
1-3 years of experience in a client-facing or outbound role (investment research, expert networks, recruiting, BD, or similar)
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Track record of hitting targets in a metrics-driven environment
Bachelor’s degree
Authorization to work in the United States
Bonus points for:
Experience managing external stakeholders in prior roles
Familiarity with expert network or knowledge services businesses (AlphaSights, GLG, Tegus, etc.)
Existing relationships in VC, PE, or operator communities
Compensation & Benefits
$110,000-$130,000 on target earnings
Meaningful ownership from day 1 - pre-Series A stock options struck at today's early-stage valuation, so you share directly in the upside you help build
100% employer-paid health benefits
401K program
Free lunch daily in-office
New York City - in-office 4 days/week
