Mid-Market Account Executive

Agents are starting to sell, buy and operate on behalf of companies. But before an agent can close a deal, qualify an account, route a lead or assess risk, it has to answer a basic question: which company is this?

Humans have worked around that mess for years. Agents cannot. They need a reliable business identity layer they can trust.

We are looking for Mid-Market Account Executives.
This role is focused on selling into global mid-market businesses with distributed teams, multiple buying centres, layered governance, and high data sensitivity. These are strategic accounts where the impact of accurate hierarchies and clean CRM data is measured in millions.
Our first ramped AEs are far exceeding quota, so we know the motion works.
Our mid-market motion is working. We are generating strong demand and building pipeline within large organisations.
You will be responsible for driving high six-figure opportunities and are confident that we will close the first 7 figure deals this year through complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
Our targets call for millions of additional ARR over the next year. You will play a major role in that.
Hours - This will be an exciting but intense job. Kernel is growing extremely fast and hours can often be long. Many of our customers are on the West Coast, and meetings can be held late in the evening.
Working location - Minimum 4 days a week in the London office (most people do 5). There will be international travel involved for this role in visiting prospects.
You’ll manage complex sales cycles with some of the best mid-market businesses out there, from mid six-figure through to seven-figure+ deals.
Multi-thread within accounts and build executive-level relationships, including VP and C-level stakeholders.
Most opportunities will be sourced for you by the SDR team and Growth team, however sourcing additional pipeline is expected.
You’ll collaborate with the wider team on GTM strategy as we expand our ICP & experiment in other verticals.
You’ll help to create our sales processes as you build them.
You’ll become the best person in the company at explaining & pitching the product.
You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and customer success, bringing in insights from across the company and performing an essential part of our product feedback loop.
Entrepreneurial: creative, resourceful.
Executive presence: You are comfortable engaging VPs, CROs, CIOs, and senior RevOps leaders.
All-in: hard-working, excited to stretch yourself, willing to take out the trash.
Clear thinker, good writer: you can crisply articulate your ideas, goals, and plans and help our customers make sense of hairy consulting-like problems.

2-5 years of experience.
At least 1 year consistently closing deals worth $50k+/year in a multi-stakeholder sales process, consistently hitting six- to seven-figure targets.
Ability to execute on a consultative, solutions-oriented, value-based selling methodology (MEDDPICC).
Track record of consistent over-achievement in past sales roles.
Ability to discuss technical concepts with prospective customers and translate requirements into a demonstrable product.
Comfort negotiating and navigating contracts, security and legal discussions without support.
Strong verbal, written, and interpersonal skills.
Startup/scale-up experience is a plus.
Experience selling to Revenue Operations, GTM and/or Sales teams.
Familiarity with Salesforce.
