Sector Director - AI

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 VC investor, and building the research team from the ground up.

About The Role

You'll run workstreams within our AI sector pod: conducting expert interviews, building analysis, and contributing to reports that go directly to investment decision-makers. You'll work alongside a Sector Lead and help shape how we approach diligence in AI.

This is a role for someone who wants to go deeper on fewer things rather than wider on many. You'll develop real expertise and ownership of emerging AI spaces.

You'll report to our Founding CRO (ex-McKinsey, ex-Growth Investor). The CEO is a former BCG Managing Director & Partner. This is a small team of people who've done this work at the highest level. You'll learn fast.

About You

• 2-4 years of experience in management consulting (MBB or equivalent), investment banking, private equity, or corporate development

• Done deal-level or project-level diligence and can run analysis end-to-end without heavy direction

• Genuine curiosity about AI companies and how the technology is reshaping industries. You want to develop real depth in the space, not rotate through random sectors every few months.

• Liked the best parts of consulting (intellectual stimulation, working in teams, learning from senior people) and want to keep those. You're ready to leave behind the travel, the pointless fire drills, and the clients who don't act on the work.

• Comfort on the phone with executives, customers, and domain experts. Primary research is the core of what we do.

You Want

• $160K - $210K 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 (27th and Park Ave)

• Founding-stage team with clear advancement path
