Implementation Lead

About Kernel

Kernel gives enterprise Rev Ops teams confidence in their CRM data.

We’ve raised a $14M Series A from top VCs and operators at Plaid, OpenAI, Slack and others to build the AI-native alternative to Dun & Bradstreet’s entity and hierarchy data
.

Rev Ops teams at Gong, Navan, Zip, Remote and Go Cardless use Kernel to clean, enrich and complete their CRM data at enterprise scale, eliminating duplicates, fixing hierarchies and restoring trust in the foundation that powers forecasting, territory planning and AI initiatives.

Our platform combines entity-level intelligence with mass-action tooling to give Rev Ops teams the data quality and control needed to plan confidently and deploy AI successfully.

We’re hiring an Implementation Lead to own the end-to-end success of our most strategic customers. You will architect and implement bespoke AI solutions, acting as the primary technical and strategic advisor from late-stage sales cycles through long-term value delivery.

You’re analytical, commercially aware, and technically fluent — comfortable blending strategic design with hands‑on implementation. If you love solving complex problems for enterprise customers, this role is for you.

• Partnering with Account Executives in late-stage cycles as the technical expert

• Architecting, building, and deploying bespoke AI agents using Kernel’s tooling

• Owning post‑deployment success — optimizing performance and value delivery

• Acting as a trusted long‑term advisor for your customer portfolio

• Developing reusable frameworks, tooling, and best practices for scale

• 5–10 years’ experience in a client‑facing analytical or technical role (Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management, Consulting, or Data Analytics)

• Strong technical fluency and understanding of data systems

• Analytical problem‑solving skills with attention to detail

• Comfort with ambiguity and creative technical problem solving

• Strong communication and customer relationship skills

• Ability to work late occasionally for US‑based customers

• Scripting (Python, JavaScript) or SQL experience

• Familiarity with CRMs (Salesforce, Hub Spot) and workflow tools (n8n)

• Understanding of APIs and data integrations

• Previous startup experience

• Need a lot of structure or hand‑holding

• Prefer routine over variety

• Want only internal, non‑customer‑facing work

• Prefer fully remote work (requires 4+ days a week in London office)

• Don’t enjoy intensity or ambiguity

• Want to manage instead of build and deliver

We will do our best to offer you a ride of a lifetime. It will not be easy, but it will be thrilling.
