We are expanding our Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) offering within the Strategy & Deals team and are seeking experienced professionals to support high-profile buy-side and sell-side engagements for Private Equity investors and corporate clients. Our engagements deliver rigorous market, competitive, and commercial insight — enabling investors to make well-informed transaction decisions.

We are open at both the Associate and Senior Associate level, depending on candidate experience:

• Associate (A):1+ years of relevant experience.
• Senior Associate (SA): 3+ years of relevant experience.

• Lead individual workstreams within CDD and growth-strategy projects, including market sizing, competitor benchmarking, and customer/expert research.
• Manage and analyze qualitative and quantitative data sets (market data, financials, interviews, surveys) to develop actionable, investor-grade insights.
• Support hypothesis development and contribute to client deliverables with clear, compelling storylines that stand up to IC scrutiny.
• Integrate data-driven and AI-supported analytics to enhance speed and depth of insight.

• Engage directly with clients and expert networks to gather market intelligence.
• Support client communications such as engagement updates and responding to requests.
• Structure and present conclusions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Supervise and coach junior team members, ensuring high-quality outputs and knowledge sharing.
• Contribute to internal knowledge development and business development efforts, including proposals and thought leadership.

• 1+ to 3+ years of relevant experience in commercial due diligence (see Level Guidance above.)
• MBA preferred (or equivalent advanced degree/experience) for Senior Associates.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfort with both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal), with the ability to distill complex findings into clear insights.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, project-based environment with tight deadlines.
• Interest in financial services and private equity transactions.
• Familiarity with adjacent workstreams, such as operational due diligence and value creation, is advantageous.
