About hyperexponential (hx)

At hyperexponential, we're building the AI-powered platform that enables the world's most critical decisions in a $7 trillion industry: which risks to take, and how to price them. These are decisions that shape real-world outcomes - whether rockets successfully launch into space, autonomous vehicles make it to market, or communities recover after major storms.

Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools. We're changing that. Our platform brings together data, AI, and human expertise to give insurers the fastest path from submission to decision. We help them move faster, act smarter, and take on more risk with confidence.

Backed by a16z, Highland Europe, and Battery Ventures, we're scaling globally. We are already trusted by nearly 60 of the world's largest insurers, with zero churn and billions in premiums flowing through hx.

What began as a single product in one market has rapidly evolved into a multi-product, multi-territory platform powering every stage of pricing and underwriting. AI is at the core of what we do: from building the world's first domain-specific AI peer programmer for insurance (think Git Hub Copilot with a PhD in actuarial science) to shaping agentic workflows that reinvent how this industry operates.

We're a team of six. Lean, ambitious, and aiming to operate at the frontier of what AI-leveraged hiring can look like. We're all in on AI, and we know we can't afford to get comfortable - AI is changing fast, and so must we.

Increasingly, we're becoming a team of generalists who love solving problems. The lines between technical and non-technical hiring matter less than they used to; what matters is judgement, craft, and the willingness to pick up something unfamiliar and figure it out. We're also builders. Anna is building an AI-native interview coach. Oskar is building our own candidate portal. Cait has redesigned our go-live workflow.

Dan is going deep on quality of hire. We use a best-in-class stack:
Ashby, Metaview, Source Whale, plus a growing set of agentic sourcing tools - and if you're still hungry, you build your own.

Something I've come to value most about this team is that the work we get to do here isn't really possible everywhere. hx is unusually and deeply invested in hiring - across the leadership team, not just inside Talent. The hiring bar is real, partnership is the operating mode, and people treat us as part of the decision rather than support around it.

That's rare.

A lot of what makes Talent at hx different - our rituals, our stack, our hiring philosophy - lives on our Talent hub page. Worth a read before you apply.

This role reports to me directly. As a Talent Partner, you'll own hiring across the business end-to-end - both technical and non-technical. That spans engineering, product and data hires through to GTM, customer success, partnerships, marketing and the operational roles that keep a scaling company moving. Some of these will be senior, ambiguous searches; others will be high-volume craft. It's a genuinely varied portfolio, and we're looking for someone who's energised rather than daunted by that breadth.

This is also a role with real sourcing depth. We're looking for someone who knows how to generate engagement and replies - someone whose craft turns cold talent into a real pipeline of conversations, across very different talent markets.

This is a doer role. We care deeply about execution and, alongside it, the experience we create for candidates and hiring managers. Prioritisation, sense of urgency, judgement and the ability to deliver consistently in a fast-paced environment are non-negotiable. The partnering, brand-building and system-level work all sit on top of getting the daily craft right.

Own hiring end-to-end across technical and non-technical roles - from senior, ambiguous searches through to the volume hiring that builds out our teams.

Operate as an AI-leveraged builder. Ship your own automations, build your own dashboards, design AI-native workflows for hiring, and raise the bar for what a modern talent function can do.

Run a sourcing-led operation. Design the targeting, build the messaging, and run the patterns that turn cold talent into committed hxers - across both technical and non-technical markets.

Help build hx's brand - contributing to employer branding initiatives and using every candidate conversation as a way to build hx's reputation in the market.

Bring market intelligence back to the business as a regular input - where the bar is moving, what's shifting in comp and expectations across the roles you cover.
