About Gilion

Gilion is a fast-growing, profitable fintech combining growth financing with AI-powered investment technology. With approximately €20 million in annual revenue and 100% annual growth and six successful markets across Europe, we are scaling two businesses:

• AI Investment Platform: An AI-powered SaaS platform helping VCs, private equity firms, credit funds and banks make faster, smarter investment decisions by using large data sets and AI
• Growth Loans: Providing growth capital to founders. We are seen as the category winner in our space and are known as being "in-between a bank and a VC", a position that we want to own across Europe. Founders see us as someone they can count on, capital that bends to their needs and not the other way around, in a funding world that is plagued by volatility.

We are backed by leading investors including Creandum and LocalGlobe. Our team brings experience from Spotify, Google, King and many of the leading investors in Europe.

We operate as a lean tech scaleup rather than a traditional lender. We move quickly, focus on outcomes and work collaboratively across origination, structuring, credit and data teams to support ambitious founders.

Our goal is simple: help great companies grow faster without unnecessary dilution.

Why this role, why now

Over the last two years, AI has fundamentally transformed how developers work. Now, the same shift is happening in the investment industry.

We are looking for the person who brings Gilion's AI Investment Platform to the UK and European investment community.

You’ll be selling a product you genuinely understand, engaging with people who speak your language, and playing an active role in shaping the future of the platform.

What You Will Do

• Build and develop a pipeline of VCs, credit funds, private equity firms, banks and other investors across the UK.
• Own the full sales cycle, from initial conversation to signed customer, working closely with our product and engineering teams.
• Demonstrate how investors can identify more opportunities and make better-informed investment decisions using their own investment processes within the platform.
• Become a power user of the platform: test new features, push its capabilities and provide actionable feedback to the product team.
• Collaborate closely with our world-class technology and product teams to continuously improve the platform.
• Represent Gilion at events and build relationships across the London and European investment ecosystem.
• Help shape and develop our go-to-market strategy in the UK as the business grows.
• Report directly to the CEO

About You

• You have likely worked at an investor, such as a VC, growth equity firm, private credit or venture debt fund, as an analyst, associate or investment manager. You understand how investment decisions are actually made.
• You are commercially driven and proactive, with experience building pipelines, developing relationships and closing deals.
• You have a strong network among UK investors, ideally extending across Europe.
• Vous êtes curieux de la technologie et de l’IA. Vous aimez explorer de nouveaux outils et comprendre comment ils peuvent créer de la valeur.
• You are self-driven, entrepreneurial and motivated by driving growth.
• You are based in London and can work from our office at least three days a week.

It’s a strong plus if you have

• Founded a company or worked at an early-stage startup.
• Sold software or tech products, ideally to investors or financial services.
• A background in corporate finance, investment banking or consulting alongside your investment experience.

What We Offer

• A front-row seat to how AI is changing investing. Whatever comes next, you will be one of very few people who truly understand AI-driven investment platforms.
• Daily collaboration with engineers and AI specialists, co-developing the product with them.
• Real ownership and influence on product and go-to-market at an early stage.
• The chance to build something from the ground up and share in the upside as we scale.
• A hybrid working model with a London office base.
