About governr

governr is the independent control infrastructure for AI in regulated financial services, the system of record sitting above security tools, GRC platforms and foundation models, converting raw technical signals into board-ready value and risk decisions, regulator-defensible proof of control. We're targeting the firms that can't afford to get this wrong: PE, private credit, mid-tier banks, wealth managers and insurers.

The Role

You open the doors. You walk into rooms at PE houses, mid-tier banks, hedge funds, asset managers and insurers and turn warm relationships into qualified meetings for the founding team. You're not carrying a closing quota, you're carrying access. The CCO and CEO close; you make sure they're sitting in front of the right COO, CRO or Head of Tech Risk in the first place. Day to day: working your existing book, generating AI Atlas sprints, attending industry events, running targeted account campaigns alongside our channel partners, and feeding intelligence back into how we sharpen the pitch for each sub-segment

Who you are

• 3–5 years in a field-facing role at a vendor, consultancy or boutique selling into UK/EMEA financial services, Regtech, Cyber, Data Infrastructure, Alt Data or a Big 4 / mid-tier consulting practice.
• A live, callable book across mid-tier financials: buy side (PE, private credit, hedge funds, asset managers), sell side (banks, brokers), and insurance. We will ask for examples.
• Comfortable getting a meeting with a CIO, COO, CTO, CRO, Head of Tech Risk or CISO without needing a referral chain three people deep.
• Fluent in the language of regulated firms, operational risk, third-party risk, model risk, SMCR, DORA. You don't need to be the technical expert; you need to know which words land in which room
• Self-directed. Early-stage. No SDR sitting underneath you, no playbook handed down from a VP of Sales, you're building the motion.
