Contract Associate, Venture Intelligence

Job description

**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 building a structured analyst program modeled on the intellectual range and apprenticeship found at top management consulting firms. **About The Role** You'll join a research pod and contribute immediately: conducting expert interviews, building company analyses, synthesizing primary research findings, and helping produce the reports that drive investment committee decisions on Series A+ companies. This is a contract role designed as a pipeline to permanent positions. We're building the team fast, and this structure lets both sides evaluate fit before making long-term commitments. Associates who demonstrate strong judgment and research instincts move into full-time roles with equity. You'll work alongside Sector Leads and report to our Founding CRO (ex-McKinsey, ex-Growth Investor). The CEO is a former BCG Managing Director & Partner. **About You** - 1-7 years of professional experience in consulting, banking, expert networks, equity research, or a related analytical field - A strong quantitative and analytical foundation. You're the person who digs until the answer makes sense - Genuine curiosity about AI, technology, and what makes companies succeed or fail - Experience with primary research — you've talked to customers, competitors, or experts to build a view, not just pulled data from a terminal - Clear communication skills. You can synthesize complexity into something a decision-maker can act on - An itch to get into venture and willing to prove it **You Want** - $10,000 - $24,000 monthly compensation (based on experience) - New York City, in-office 4-5 days/week (27th and Park Ave) - A clear path to a full-time role with pre-Series A equity (vesting begins during contract period) - Founding-stage team — your work shapes the product, the methodology, and the company - The intellectual challenge of consulting without the travel grind
