15Rock builds TrendCap, an AI research platform producing institutional-grade company and sector research. We work with some of the largest firms and investors in the US and Canada, helping them understand and manage risk and identify value-creation opportunities inside their portfolio companies. We deliver in days what a four-person case team may take three weeks to produce—and partners carry the work into CEO conversations.

Most technology companies never get past procurement. We sit where AI meets decisions measured in billions. It is an unusual seat, and it takes an unusual person.

The role
You own engagements end to end: scope the request, direct the analysis on our platform, shape what the partner presents, and run the client conversation yourself. Your clients include partners at global consulting firms, executives at large global corporates and major institutional investors.

Value-creation scan of a multi-billion-dollar public industrial distributor, delivered in 48 hours

Growth levers for one of North America's leading apparel retailers

Sizing a multi-billion-dollar government end-market for an advanced manufacturer

Performance scorecard across a provincial hospital system

Recurring research program for an international sustainable-finance organization

Underneath it all: AI powered product-level peer benchmarking, built even where the peers are private.

This is not a prompt-review job. The platform does the heavy lifting; you do the thinking, the judgment calls, and the client.

What you'll do

Conduct company diagnostics and value-creation research across margins,



cost structure, growth levers, and comparable-company analysis, including private peers

Direct our AI pipelines: set the analytical approach, don't just check output, and feed what you learn back into the product

Turn full reports into executive memos and partner-ready decks

Hold every deliverable to a top-tier firm's standard, present it, and own the iteration

Who you are

You have 2–5 years in strategy consulting, transaction advisory or valuation, sell-side equity research, or another analytically rigorous, client-facing setting; experience at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, a Big 4 firm, or a leading research platform is relevant but not required

You produce analysis that holds up in front of a CFO and decks a partner can present without rewriting

AI tools are already core to how you work, and you want to go deeper

You are comfortable owning the client relationship, not just the workstream; CFA progress is a plus

What you get

Base salary of $110,000–$140,000 CAD

Meaningful early-employee equity—the number and the logic, shared early in the process

Health and dental, RRSP matching

Work directly with the founder; onboarding from our delivery lead, a McKinsey alum

Client exposure years before a partner track would give it

Toronto, on-site five days a week
