When Private Equity funds evaluate deals, they pay firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain $500K-$1M for market due diligence. The process takes weeks, and the output is a static PowerPoint that's impossible to audit. A single large-cap PE fund can spend >$30M annually on this and the total market is $10B per year. Our AI agents conduct expert interviews and synthesize insights with every claim linked to source transcripts. No black box, no "trust me" slides, and no 10x mark-up for human labor. Frederik bought these reports as a Principal at Blackstone. Soren sold them as a Principal at BCG. Harshil is a repeat founder and former Software Engineer at Google. We've seen both sides and know what matters in due diligence - and now we automate it. Our clients already include 8 leading private equity funds with over $2.4 trillion in combined AUM. ## About the role #### About DiligenceSquared DiligenceSquared (YC F25) is rebuilding how private equity firms, hedge funds, private credit, and corporates conduct commercial due diligence. We deploy AI agents to automate expert interviews at scale, synthesize findings, and deliver fully traceable CDD reports – at a fraction of the cost and timeline of traditional consulting. Backed by Y Combinator and Relentless, we're a small, high-output team working on some of the most intellectually demanding problems in private equity research. #### 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 --- Source: DiligenceSquared's own career page, read by RemJobs.
