About DiligenceSquared

Investment-grade research and commercial due diligence, rebuilt around AI. Every claim traced to its source — days not weeks, at a fraction of the cost. Backed by Y Combinator.

About 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.

What they'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
