About Altruist

Altruist is transforming the multi-trillion dollar wealth management industry by building an AI platform for wealth professionals. We partner with financial advisors nationwide, empowering them to grow, optimize time and resources, and deliver superior outcomes for their clients.

We're looking for exceptional talent to help us achieve our mission of making financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible to all. If you're passionate about challenging the status quo and want to do the most important work of your life, we'd love to meet you!

But first, our values

Kindness - Kindness doesn’t just equal niceness. We listen to understand. We embrace, and encourage healthy debate and diverse perspectives. We approach conflict openly, honestly, and respectfully.
Brilliance - Humility is the skill we’re most proud of and possessing a growth mindset is always top of mind. We take ownership in everything we touch; regularly using our unique superpowers to reach a common goal as a team. We succeed and fail as one.
Grit - When challenges arise, we stay laser focused on achieving our mission and finding a way forward, even when it’s hard. We are nimble and maintain a sense of urgency, swiftly adapting to change and overcoming obstacles.

The opportunity

Altruist is in the midst of an exceptional growth phase and we’re excited to hire a Director, Recruiter & Referral Partnerships to join our Client Development team. Altruist grows through a network of partners who introduce advisors to our platform. At the center are advisor recruiting and transition consulting firms that work with breakaway teams leaving wirehouses or broker-dealers, as well as with firms evaluating a custody change. This channel has already produced closed business. Around it is a wider ecosystem of industry organizations, consultants, and platforms that shape where advisors go next.

We're hiring a Director to own this partner network and turn it into a repeatable source of growth. You'll manage our recruiter partners day-to-day, build relationships across the broader RIA ecosystem, ensure every introduction is followed up and tracked, and clearly show what the channel delivers.
