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 Founding 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
