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

We Offer

• $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
