Full Job Description
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
