The posting

ABOUT DILIGENCESQUARED

DiligenceSquared is the AI-native consulting firm. We deliver investment-grade market research and commercial due diligence, powered by AI agents and led by experienced consultants. Our founding team brings deep experience from Blackstone and BCG, and we’re backed by Y Combinator and Relentless. Our clients include 5 of the 10 largest private equity firms in the world and represent more than $3T in combined AUM.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a sharp, client-facing Business Lead to own the delivery of commercial due diligence for leading private equity funds.

You'll be the human-in-the-loop at the heart of our AI-powered research process: translating client needs into precise guidelines for our AI agents, overseeing the quality of their outputs, and ensuring every engagement is delivered with white-glove service.

This is a highly visible, client-facing role. You'll work directly with partners and deal teams at top-tier PE funds, have real ownership over your work, and help shape how we build and scale the product – without the layers of process that come with larger organizations.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own project delivery across multiple simultaneous CDD engagements, from kickoff through final report

- Manage client relationships day-to-day

- Coordinate expert sourcing across expert networks

- Work closely with our AI systems to oversee interviews, analysis and synthesis to ensure coverage against client briefs

- Partner with our engineering team to translate client and operational insights into product improvements

- Build and refine internal processes and templates that improve delivery quality and speed

- Collaborate with the founding team on product feedback

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 3–6 years of experience at an MBB firm, in private equity, or in investment banking

- Experience with commercial due diligence — you understand the methodology, the client expectations, and what separates a good CDD from a great one

- Track record of managing complex, deadline-driven workstreams with multiple stakeholders

- Exceptional written and verbal communication

- High attention to detail — you catch errors others miss and hold your work to an exceptionally high bar

- High ownership mentality: you spot problems early and solve them independently

- Genuine curiosity about AI and its implications for knowledge work — you should be excited about working at the cutting edge of how AI is transforming research and analysis

- Start-up mentality — you're energized by ownership, speed, and variety; equally comfortable shaping strategy and handling the unglamorous work that comes with building something from the ground up

- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where there isn't any

WHY DILIGENCESQUARED

- Early-stage equity at a YC-backed company with strong investor conviction and active deal flow

- Work at the cutting edge of applied AI — you'll use and shape tools that don't exist anywhere else in the industry

- Work directly with the founding team — high ownership and real impact from day one

- Intellectually demanding work: complex industries, sophisticated clients, high stakes

- A front-row seat to how AI is transforming the multi-billion dollar commercial due diligence market

- Competitive compensation and a collaborative, no-bureaucracy culture

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
