V7

V7 At V7, we’re building AI platforms that help humans do their best work, at incredible scale and speed. Our mission is to turn human knowledge into trustworthy AI, making complex tasks faster, smarter, and more accurate. We’re growing fast, backed by leading investors and AI pioneers (including the minds behind Transformers and Gemini). THE PRODUCT V7 Go is a platform for building and deploying custom AI agents, made for the document-heavy work finance and insurance teams handle every day. It takes multi-modal data and returns verifiable outputs with transparent logic, so accuracy and compliance come built in. It runs on the latest models too, including GPT, Claude and Gemini. Have a look at what we're building for finance and insurance. Most AI agents still behave like black boxes. They wander off-task, miss the context that matters, and make calls you can't check. Go Agents are different: predictable, transparent, and auditable at every step. * Build custom AI workflows with controlled analysis at every stage. Every output comes with citations and a full audit trail, so the human in the loop can see exactly how it got there. * The Context Graph makes all your data (across workflows, documents and integrations) queryable in one place, giving your agents the context to be properly useful. It's your institutional memory.

You’ll play a critical role in expanding V7’s footprint across key markets, while building deep knowledge of the AI landscape and how leading organisations adopt AI in practice. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING FROM DAY ONE * Owning account planning and territory strategy, identifying and prioritising high-potential prospects. * Driving outbound activity through a mix of cold calls, LinkedIn outreach, and email to start meaningful conversations. * Handling inbound leads efficiently while maintaining a strong outbound cadence. * Working closely with Account Executives to ensure seamless handoffs and strong collaboration on target accounts. * Staying up to date on AI trends and industry developments to engage prospects with relevant, informed insights. * Participating in cross-functional projects and initiatives as the GTM motion continues to evolve. * Maintaining rigorous CRM hygiene and disciplined pipeline management. WHO YOU ARE * An ambitious BDR with experience in high-growth startup, scale-up, or hyper-growth environments. * Experience in sales or business development within a SaaS company. * Confident communicator with strong listening and writing skills, comfortable engaging technical senior stakeholders (CTO, CIO, CDO). * A self-starter with a strong track record of overachievement and resilience in outbound-heavy roles. * Deeply pipeline-driven - you live and breathe pipeline generation and understand its impact on revenue. * Highly organised, disciplined in your processes, and meticulous about CRM usage and prioritisation. * Excited by AI and motivated to build expertise in a fast-moving, technical space V7 champions equality and inclusion because diverse teams build better products.
