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

This is not a traditional support role. Advisor Support Representatives at Altruist operate at the intersection of product, operations, and service, solving complex problems that directly impact advisors and their clients. The work requires a high degree of adaptability, curiosity, and resilience. Our advisors rely on us to navigate challenges that are often nuanced, unfamiliar, or time-sensitive, and that responsibility is not for everyone. We are looking for individuals who bring kindness and empathy to every interaction, intellectual rigor to problem-solving, and the grit to persist through ambiguity. There's a lot to learn in this role, and success requires comfort with complexity, change, and continuous growth.

As the team continues to scale, Advisor Support Representatives may develop deeper expertise within a specific product or operational specialization while continuing to provide broader-based advisor support. This role is well-suited for individuals who enjoy mastering complex systems, tackling hard problems others avoid, and growing into trusted product and process experts over time.

This is a hybrid role requiring three days per week in our Culver City office.
