Build systems, not slides, at Cortado Group.
Cortado is an AI-fueled consultancy run by ex-C-suite operators. We've encoded decades of their judgment into the playbooks, workflows, and AI tools we use every day, and we point all of it at real client work.
On day one you inherit tools a consultant would normally take a decade to build. Use them on real work. Early. On purpose.
What we promise
Our mission is to positively impact the trajectory of every person we come into contact with. Clients. Alumni. Team. Interns. Everyone. This is not a poster on the wall. It is how the firm runs.
The proof is in our alumni. People who joined Cortado with little experience are now running teams of their own, at other companies and inside ours. They still recognize the room they came from.
You will be uncomfortable
You will be in rooms with partners who have run companies. You will be in front of C-suite clients whose decisions move millions of dollars. You will be making calls faster than you feel ready to make them.
The people who thrive here have learned that being uncomfortable is the sensation of actually growing, and they chase it instead of avoiding it.
Why these roles exist
We are building the next layer of Cortado: operators who learn to wield AI the way Cortado wields AI. Not people who assist. People who execute.
You come in, get access to the stack our partners have built, and go. The tools you get on day one would have taken a consultant a decade to assemble alone. Your job is to learn how to point them at real client work and move.
We expect you already use AI.
We'll help you use it in ways you never considered, and help you rethink your profession through AI that takes away the drudgery and puts the focus back on creativity.
What we are not
Not a place for politics. Execution is the coin of the realm here. That is a gift if you are good and a problem if you are not.
Not hiring craftsmen. If your reflex is to build your own version of everything and never share it, you will be miserable here. If your reflex is to build once, build it well, and make sure it comes home so the next person moves faster, welcome.
