Senior Strategic Account Executive

TL;DR: New York City-based Account Executive role, working in a hybrid model with 2 to 3 days per week in our NYC office. ABOUT HYPEREXPONENTIAL (HX) At hyperexponential, we’re building the AI platform reshaping how insurers make their most important decisions: which risks to take, and how to price them. This is a huge market with huge consequences. The decisions our customers make affect whether rockets launch, autonomous vehicles reach the road, and communities recover after major catastrophes. For too long, those decisions have been made using outdated tools. We’re changing that. Backed by a16z, Highland Europe, and Battery Ventures, hx is already trusted by nearly 60 of the world’s largest insurers. We have zero churn, billions in premiums flowing through our platform, and enterprise deals ranging from $250K to $1.5M+ ARR, and a clear path to unicorn status now in sight. We’re now hiring Senior Strategic Account Executives in New York City to help scale our US business. WHY US This isn’t your typical high-volume, transactional AE role. Instead, it’s a fantastic opportunity to introduce a truly unique product to one of the world’s most important - and least transformed -industries. You’ll have the support, growing customer base, and product strength needed to win major enterprise accounts. Plus, you’ll get to help shape how hx secures the largest and most complex accounts in North America: from crafting account strategies and building relationships with executives, to navigating long enterprise sales cycles and playing an active role in how we position hx in an exciting, evolving market. You’ll be joining at a meaningful stage: - real enterprise traction - a product already trusted by major insurers - a serious US growth ambition - direct exposure to experienced sales leadership - the opportunity to shape how hx scales in North America This is a role for someone who wants to do strategic, high-value enterprise selling and be close to the build.

We sell into a complex market where credibility matters. Our buyers include actuaries, underwriting leaders, technology stakeholders, and the C-suite. Success here comes from thoughtful, consultative selling, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to build trust across long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
