Content Marketing Lead:
Our mission is to fix enterprise AI’s garbage-in, garbage-out problem at the source.
RevOps teams have an impossible job when it comes to correcting the CRM data that AI (and reps!) need as context for decision-making. This is the problem we're solving at Kernel.
We're growing extremely fast and are working with many of the best RevOps teams in the world, such as Gong, Remote, Navan, Zip, GoCardless, and many more.
We're a team of second-time founders and have raised $15mm+ from top VCs and revenue leaders at Open AI, Slack, Snowflake, and MongoDB.
The Role:
We are looking for a Content Marketing Lead to report directly to our Founder and work closely with our Marketing Lead to own Kernel's creative content strategy and execution.
We need someone to build robust content pipelines that drive brand awareness and lead generation in the RevOps and AI deployment space.
We want someone who has a deep passion for creative storytelling and multimedia production, who also wants to contribute more broadly to building a rapidly growing startup.
As part of this role, you will: Be the engine for Kernel's brand, crafting content that resonates with target buyers whilst blending education and entertainment.
Work directly with the CEO on building a founder-led brand by creating content that builds authority on key subjects.
Bring technical expertise across multimedia content production. Primarily looking for a social-first video experience. Graphic design is a bonus.
Collaborate cross-functionally with leadership, product, and sales.
Manage a content calendar and contribute to new ideas to differentiate Kernel's positioning in the market.
Manage and develop a podcast series working with external stakeholders and Kernel’s leadership.

Video Content Leadership: Film founder brand content. Work directly with the CEO and leadership to execute high-quality video content. Edit video content into different formats appropriate for multi-channel and full funnel marketing campaigns.
