Contract Associate, Venture Intelligence

Altis • New York City, NY

4d • Onsite

About The Position

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.

Requirements

• 1-7 years of professional experience in consulting, banking, expert networks, equity research, or a related analytical field
• A strong quantitative and analytical foundation.
• 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

Responsibilities

• Conducting expert interviews
• Building company analyses
• Synthesizing primary research findings
• Helping produce reports that drive investment committee decisions on Series A+ companies

Benefits

• $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
