Implementation Lead

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.

What You'll Be Doing

• 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

Nice to have:

• Scripting (Python, JavaScript) or SQL experience
• Familiarity with CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot) and workflow tools (n8n)
• Understanding of APIs and data integrations
• Previous startup experience

This role may not be for you if you:

• Need a lot of structure or hand-holding
• Prefer routine over variety
• Want only internal, non-customer-facing work

This role is definitely not for you if you:

• 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.

• Salary: £70,000 - £100,000 + equity
• 24 days holiday per year + bank holidays
• 2 weeks work-from-anywhere
• Pension plan
• Top-spec equipment and central London office
• Free dinner at the office
• Team events and dinners
• Work directly with the founders to scale the systems that power enterprise AI
