Senior Talent Partner - US Lead

Hi, I'm Lucy - hx's Head of Talent. I joined hx nearly five years ago when we were 15 people. We're 250 today. Building this team has been some of the best work of my career, in large part because of the people on it - I'm learning constantly, especially as we keep tackling things that have never been done before. We're now post-Series B, and the US - NYC in particular - is one of the most important growth levers in front of us. The GTM hires we make there over the next two years will shape what hx becomes more than almost anything else we do. NYC is where the top GTM talent we need lives, and right now we don't have anyone there. So I'm hiring our Senior Talent Partner - US Lead, ideally someone deeply embedded in the NYC GTM hiring world, with the seniority and judgement to work directly with our President, COO and CPO on the hires that shape what hx becomes. One thing worth flagging early: this is a hybrid role, based in our NYC office, three days a week in person. We're a lean US team of 17, growing fast, and being in the room together is how we build, learn and move at the pace we do. We're looking for someone who's genuinely excited by that, not just willing. Sounds interesting? Read more about us below. 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 Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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 GitHub Copilot with a PhD in actuarial science) to shaping agentic workflows that reinvent how this industry operates. ABOUT THE TALENT TEAM 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. 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, SourceWhale, 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 https://www.hyperexponential.com/careers/hubs/talent. Worth a read before you apply. ABOUT THE ROLE This role reports to me directly. As Senior Talent Partner, you will own and lead US hiring across our GTM and product organisations end-to-end. That spans the most senior, consequential hires - partnering directly with Richard Gunn (President) https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard
