About Kernel
Agents are becoming part of how companies sell, buy, and operate. But before an agent can close a deal, qualify an account, route a lead, or assess risk, it needs to answer a basic question: which company is this?
Today, that answer is messy. Business identity lives across CRMs, ERPs, and third-party datasets full of duplicates, missing parent companies, stale addresses, and half-correct enrichment. Humans have worked around that mess for years. Agents cannot. They need a shared identity layer they can trust.
Kernel is building that layer: the business registry for agents. We create a permanent KERN ID for every business, plus the context an agent needs to act on it.
Ops, data, and revenue teams at Gong, Legora, Mistral, Canva, and Checkout already use Kernel on their own systems. Agents are next, and there will be far more of them.
We have raised $14M from top VCs and operators at Plaid, OpenAI, Slack, and others, and we are growing 5x YoY.
The Role
The Growth team’s purpose is simple - make Kernel grow faster. To date, most of Kernel’s customers have been sourced via cold sales outbound. What we need is for someone to add fuel to the fire by creating a world-class brand that excites prospects and customers alike.
One week you may organize a New York dinner for the most senior people in our target audience, the next you could fly to San Francisco to film a case study that is circulated to thousands. The potential is limitless, and you will have agency to run considered experiments that lead to results.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As the second person in Kernel’s growth team, you will play a crucial role in ensuring we continue and accelerate our success.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Build and own a brilliant events schedule. We know that in-person events work for Kernel. This includes premium in-person dinners, lunches, conferences, and events we have not yet considered
- Own the public profiles of the Kernel leadership team, especially on LinkedIn
- Design and implement marketing channels that deliver results
- Create content for Kernel, both non-technical and technical, reaching an audience of 10s of thousands
- Work directly with the CEO and Head of Sales on creative approaches to help Kernel win key deals
- Contribute to product launches, customer announcements, and case studies
- Come up with your own ideas for how Kernel can grow faster, scope them, implement them, and ensure they’re successful
What You Bring:
We don’t need you to have had direct marketing or growth experience, what we do require is the following:
- Exceptional taste
- The ability to write exceptionally well without AI
- Strong analytical skills, with a preference to judge results by numbers
- Ruthless prioritization
- 2-5 years’ work experience
