# Implementation Lead

- **Company:** Kernel
- **Location:** London, UK (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Salary:** £60,000.0 - £100,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** JavaScript (Programming Language), Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Data Systems
- **Published:** August 2, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs/details/5824428007

## About the Role

* 3-7 years of experience in a client-facing analytical or technical role, such as Solutions Engineering, Implementations, Technical Account Management or Consulting
 * Technical fluency (APIs, Javascript etc) and understanding of data systems
 * A product sensibility to how you work - you ask why before you ask when, and you push back on scope that doesn't serve the customer
 * Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills, with close attention to detail
 * Comfortable navigating ambiguity and solving technical challenges creatively
 * Experience working in fast-paced, startup environments
 * Ability to manage multiple clients and projects at once
 * Strong communication skills and the ability to build trusted customer relationships
 * Flexibility to occasionally work later hours to support US-based customers
 * Nice to have, but not required:
 + Experience working with AI products or use cases
 + Familiarity with RevOps workflows and systems, including CRMs and related tooling

️ This role may not be for you if you:

 * Prefer a lot of structure or close guidance
 * Prefer routine over variety
 * Are looking for a purely internal, non-customer-facing role

This role is definitely not for you if you:

 * Prefer fully remote work (this role requires 4+ days per week in the London office)
 * Don't enjoy intense, fast paced workspace or ambiguity
 * Want to manage rather than build and deliver

## Description

As an Implementation Lead, you're the bridge between customer needs and technical execution in enterprise deals. You translate complex requirements into practical, high-impact solutions, ensuring every proof of concept is accurate, scalable and positioned for success.

Working closely with Account Executives, Product and Engineering, you'll navigate technical questions, troubleshoot complex challenges and shape solutions that drive value for our clients.

What You'll Be Doing:

 * Partnering with Account Executives in late-stage cycles as the technical expert
 * Running and delivering high quality POCs in a timely manner
 * Leading and owning the full implementation cycle from kick-off to go-live
