GTM Associate

About the role

DiligenceSquared is the AI-native consulting firm. We deliver investment-grade market research and commercial due diligence, powered by AI agents and led by experienced consultants. Our founding team brings deep experience from Blackstone and BCG, and we're backed by Y Combinator and Relentless. Our clients include 5 of the 10 largest private equity firms in the world and represent more than $3T in combined AUM.

We're looking for a GTM Associate to help DiligenceSquared win and grow relationships with leading private equity firms. You'll work directly with the founders and GTM leadership to create new opportunities, stay close to existing clients and expand from individual projects into broader relationships across funds. This is not a conventional SDR role. You'll need to understand how PE deal teams work, recognize when a live deal creates a need for research or commercial diligence and hold credible conversations with sophisticated clients. You may come from private equity, commercial due diligence, research, expert networks, investor relations or another client-facing role in private markets. Prior sales experience is helpful, but commercial drive, judgment and the desire to build a career in GTM matter more.

Responsibilities

• Develop new relationships: Identify priority funds and deal teams, conduct thoughtful outreach and turn relevant conversations into qualified opportunities.
• Expand existing accounts: Map relationships across sector teams, strategies and offices within the funds we serve and help earn introductions to new buyers.
• Stay close to clients: Track client priorities, portfolio activity and live deal signals so DiligenceSquared is relevant and top of mind when a need emerges.
• Support the sales process: Prepare for meetings, lead follow-up, coordinate proposals and keep opportunities moving from first conversation to signed engagement.
• Build account plans: Maintain clear plans for priority accounts, including current relationships, whitespace, recent activity and next actions.
• Partner with delivery: Learn from completed projects, understand what clients valued and bring the right consultants into substantive conversations.
• Work with marketing: Help turn content, dinners, events
