## Job Description
## What You'll Do

## 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
