Lead Designer
About Junior
We're building cutting-edge LLM-powered tools that supercharge investment research for the world's most demanding deal teams. Our clients include several of the top 10 global private equity firms, Big 4 professional services firms, and leading consulting practices: organisations responsible for deploying billions of dollars annually.
We're a profitable, bootstrapped company with a growing team of 47 people based in London and New York. We 10x'd our revenue in 2025 and are on track to grow 2-3x again this year. Junior saves clients an average of 10 hours per week, and we're expanding fast into new verticals including investment banking, hedge funds, and research firms.
Our users
Junior’s users are consulting and private equity professionals at global strategy firms, boutique M&A shops, and independent investment teams-overworked, time-poor, and highly intelligent. They spend far too much of their day on administrative busywork instead of the high-impact analysis they were hired to do: juggling dozens of research and diligence calls, wrestling with messy transcripts, hunting down the right quotes, tracking entities across projects, and manually plugging insights into decks-all under brutal deadlines.
Junior cuts through that friction by automating call ingestion, transcript cleanup, quote extraction, and insight structuring so they can focus on deep problem-solving, deal sourcing, and crafting the recommendations that move the needle.
