We use data and AI to better understand how businesses perform and make faster, more informed lending decisions. By connecting directly to a company’s financial and operational systems, our platform helps assess performance, forecast growth and structure long-term funding that supports sustainable scaling. We are backed by leading investors including Creandum and LocalGlobe, and our team brings experience from companies such as Spotify, Google, King and Sinch. We operate as a lean tech scaleup rather than a traditional lender. We move quickly, focus on outcomes and work collaboratively across sales, structuring, credit and data teams to support ambitious founders. Our goal is simple: help great companies grow faster without unnecessary dilution. About the Job: As Investment Manager for the UK, you will originate and execute lending opportunities with high-growth B2B SaaS and technology companies.

You will manage opportunities end-to-end, from first conversation through to signed deal and payout, working closely with structuring, credit and legal teams throughout the process.
The role requires commercial judgement alongside financial fluency. You should be comfortable reviewing financial models, understanding key SaaS metrics such as ARR growth, retention, burn and runway, and discussing concepts such as leverage and financial covenants.

Identify key strengths, risks and mitigants and clearly articulate investment rationale internally. Maintain disciplined pipeline management and activity tracking in HubSpot. Represent Gilion at meetings and industry events to strengthen market presence. About You: 4 - 7+ years experience in venture debt, growth lending, private credit, VC, corporate banking, fintech, investments or B2B SaaS business development. Track record of meeting or exceeding commercial or origination targets in roles involving complex B2B sales cycles. Experience managing opportunities involving multiple stakeholders, from initial engagement through to close. Able to build credibility with founders, CFOs and senior finance stakeholders. Comfortable reviewing financial models and understanding SaaS and lending metrics such as ARR growth, retention, burn, runway, leverage and covenants. Comfort generating pipeline through outbound prospecting, networking and relationship development. Experience using CRM tools such as HubSpot is beneficial.
