About DiligenceSquared

DiligenceSquared (YC F25) is revolutionizing the commercial due diligence landscape for private equity firms, hedge funds, private credit, and corporate entities. By employing cutting-edge AI agents, we automate expert interviews at scale, synthesize findings, and produce fully traceable CDD reports in a fraction of the time and cost associated with traditional consulting. Supported by Y Combinator and Relentless, our compact, high-performing team tackles some of the most intellectually challenging problems in private equity research.

The Role

We are searching for a dynamic and client-focused Founding Business Lead to take charge of delivering commercial due diligence for premier private equity funds. In this pivotal role, you will act as the human-in-the-loop at the core of our AI-driven research process, translating client requirements into clear directives for our AI agents, overseeing output quality, and ensuring every engagement exceeds expectations with exceptional service.

This highly visible, client-centric position involves direct collaboration with partners and deal teams at top-tier private equity funds, granting you substantial ownership over your work and influence in shaping our product development without the bureaucratic hurdles typical of larger firms.

What You'll Do

  • Lead project delivery for multiple concurrent CDD engagements, from initiation to final report.
  • Manage day-to-day client relationships with professionalism and care.
  • Coordinate expert sourcing through various expert networks.
  • Work in close collaboration with our AI systems to oversee interviews and analyses, ensuring alignment with client briefs.
  • Partner with our engineering team to translate client and operational insights into product enhancements.
  • Develop and refine internal processes and templates to boost delivery efficiency and quality.
  • Engage with the founding team to provide product feedback.

What We're Looking For

  • 3–6 years of experience in a top consulting firm (MBB), private equity, or investment banking.
  • Proven experience in commercial due diligence, with a clear understanding of the methodology and client expectations that distinguish great CDD from good.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex, deadline-driven projects with multiple stakeholders.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • A proactive problem-solver with a keen attention to detail.
