⚡️ Why Altium?

Altium is transforming the way electronics are designed and built. From startups to world’s technology giants, our digital platforms give more power to PCB designers, supply chain, and manufacturing, letting them collaborate as never before.

  • We are growing, debt-free, and financially strong, with the resources to become #1 in the EDA industry

Do you approach data as an art? Are you the kind of person who can sift through the noise, frame a fuzzy problem with real-world context, and bring a strategy team to formulate a complex solution? If so, Altium wants you on our team.

We’re looking for a sharp, business-first analyst to join our high-impact GTM Operations team. This role is ideal for someone who’s held ground in boardrooms and data labs alike.

You won’t just crunch numbers — you’ll drive context. You’ll partner closely with our Sales, Marketing, Product, and Operation leaders to translate raw data into high-ROI strategies that support our continuing success as a SaaS-first, cloud-native business.

What You'll Do

  • Cut through the noise: Take a complex dataset and distill it into a few actionable insights for go-to-market execution.
  • Operate in ambiguity: Many problems won’t come with clear data — or any data at all. You’ll need to ask sharp questions, talk to cross-functional teams, dig into systems, and build your own path to an answer.
  • Be agile and iterative: You’ll frequently pivot based on what you uncover. Whether it’s shifting definitions, reframing hypotheses, or discovering better sources of truth, you’ll move fast and lightly.
  • Drive insight, not just data: Use SQL/Python and strategic reasoning to enrich data, model impact, and deliver direction.
  • Industry enrichment at scale: Help us define, bucket, and analyze a growing customer base — understanding not just who they are, but what they are in relation to Altium in the real world.

What You'll Bring:

  • Background in finance-adjacent roles: Two to four years in PE, VC, investment banking, or consulting.
  • Strong generalist mindset: background in data analytics, local to San Diego preferred-  someone who thinks in systems and sees business as more than just a spreadsheet.
  • Data toolbelt: SQL and Python proficiency. You’re not a data scientist, but you’re not afraid to dive deep and use the tools.
  • Business intuition > dashboards: You see patterns and narratives in data. You know when a classification is fuzzy — and that’s when you lean into human judgment or will talk with stakeholders to gather more information.
  • Problem solver with startup instincts: You like ambiguity, love puzzles, and are comfortable creating structure where none exists.

The salary range for this role is $173,000 to $211,000. Actual compensation packages within this range are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate and role requirements, including but not limited to skill set, years and depth of experience, certifications, and specific location.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
