About Altis
Altis is a venture intelligence platform that helps investors make faster, better decisions on Series A/B/C companies. We identify the key debates that should drive an investment committee decision, then build out the bull and bear cases through primary research: interviews with customers, competitors, former employees, and domain experts.
We're backed by Primary Venture Partners, co-founded by a Midas-list investor, and building the team that will define how venture diligence gets done.
About The Role
You'll own AI as a sector end-to-end. That means defining the questions that matter for a given company, designing the research approach, conducting expert interviews, and synthesizing findings into work that directly shapes investment decisions. You'll also help build the methodology and playbook. This isn't a mature practice you're joining. It's one you're creating.
You'll lead a pod of 3-5+ junior team members and report to our Founding CRO (ex-McKinsey, ex-Growth Investor). The CEO is a former BCG Managing Director & Partner with nearly 12 years leading commercial transformations and due diligence for public and private investors.
You Want
4-7 years of experience, with meaningful time in management consulting (MBB or equivalent) at the EM/PL level or above (consulting track)
Led commercial due diligence, market assessments, or investment evaluations, and you were good at it
Genuine curiosity about AI companies and the technology reshaping how businesses compete. You follow the space because you find it interesting, not because someone staffed you on it.
Loved the intellectual rigor of consulting (the problem-solving, the structured thinking, the team dynamic) but are excited to get rid of the travel grind, the client fire drills, the projects in industries you didn't care about
Taken pride in using primary research (talking to customers, competitors, and experts) to uncover something non-obvious and impactful
Had an itch to build something, not execute a playbook someone else wrote
You want
$225K - $275K base compensation
Significant pre-Series A equity (restricted stock - the most favorable structure for early employees)
100% employer-paid benefits
New York City, in-office 4-5 days/week (625 Broadway)
Founding-stage team - your work shapes the product, the methodology, and the company
