Go-To-Market associate

You’ll work directly with senior leaders at banks, PSPs, and fintech unicorns, gaining access to decision-makers and industry problems that most people your age never get to see up close.

5days a week in our office in person near Waterloo St in London.

What we expect...

You’ll have significant autonomy from day one. We’ll trust you with decisions, let you run your own workstreams, and expect you to act as an extension of the founding team, not just an executor.

Within days:

• Take ownership of key top-of-funnel activities and start driving new customer conversations.
• Jump into customer calls and product demos, understanding our customers' pain points and how Diligent solves them.
• Support our trial customers, ensuring they see value quickly and move toward conversion.

Within weeks:

• Lead our outbound GTM strategy and execution, building pipelines and closing deals.
• Own the customer success function for new customers, becoming their trusted advisor.
• Test new product releases and gather customer feedback to inform product roadmap decisions.

Within months:

• Scale our commercial operations as we grow, implementing processes and systems that support sustainable growth.
• Support hiring for key early roles, helping us build out the team.
• Tackle strategic and operational challenges that come with high growth at an early-stage startup.

🤓 ABOUT YOU

Experiences we look for… at least one of the below

• 1/2yrs experience in a high-pace environment (VC backed startup, Investment Banking, Management Consulting)
• Tier 1 uni + impressive extracurricular activity (see below side hustles as proxy)
• Impressive side hustle (Did you build something - e.g. Ecom, or side business? What was it and how impactful was it?)

Characteristics we look for:

• Extremely Curious: We think curious people run the world. We love those who have an insatiable hunger for more knowledge… about the customer problems, domain knowledge, technical innovations or new ways to approaches to challenges.
• Hungry and driven: We are an early stage startup… this is hard and intense work that requires you to be ready to move fast, work hard, take bets and find solutions to problems that haven’t really been solved before. It will be intense but extremely rewarding
• High emotional intelligence: You build trust fast, read the room well, and become a genuine partner and trusted advisor to customers and prospects
• Structured thinker: You're numbers-driven and can think through a goal, break it down into actionable steps, and hold yourself accountable throughout the process.
• A true owner: You don't wait to be told what to do. You take full responsibility for your projects from start to finish and thrive in ambiguity, finding practical solutions without overcomplicating things.

🏦 BUDGET

• Base salary: £35k-£50k
• OTE: £55k–£70k
