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 the 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Until now, insurers have been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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 - helping them move faster, act smarter, and take on more risk with confidence.

Backed by a16z, Highland Europe, and Battery Ventures, we’re scaling globally - already trusted by nearly 50 of the world’s largest insurers, with close to 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.

What makes hx different is the people who build it. Here, impact isn’t tied to title or tenure; it’s defined by the challenges you take on and the discipline you bring. Surrounded by peers who stretch you, you’ll do the best, hardest work of your life in a company engineered to endure.

If that sounds like you, join us in building what comes next.

About the Project Management team

The Project Management team takes hx customers from signed contract to live in production. We work in cross-functional pods alongside delivery engineers and solution architects, and we own the customer relationship day to day: the plan, the budget, the risks and the conversations that go with them. We work with some of the most sophisticated insurers in the world, including Lloyd’s syndicates, Tier 1 carriers, reinsurers and MGAs. We are moving to a shared, AI-first way of working, where one set of skills is used and improved by the whole team, and we are looking for people who want to help build it.

What you’ll be doing

• Run a customer project from kick-off to go-live, keeping budget, timeline and project hygiene on track.

• Be the day-to-day contact for your customer, and tell them early when something is slipping.

• Work with delivery engineers and solution architects in your pod to turn what the customer needs into a plan the team can deliver.

• Use our shared delivery skills and AI tools to cut manual project admin, and flag where they fall short.

• Learn from your delivery lead and bring proposed answers, not just questions.

• Help us improve how we run projects as you learn what works.

What you’ll need to have done

• Delivered something to a deadline with other people depending on you (work, university or a side project), and be able to say exactly what you did.

• Used AI in your work or studies day to day, and be able to explain what it produced and how you checked it.

• Taken feedback and changed how you work, with an example.

• Gone beyond the surface of a problem to find out what was really going on.

You’re unlikely to thrive here if

• You’d prefer a long runway of shadowing before taking on real responsibility. You’ll own a customer project early, with coaching alongside you.

• You’re uncomfortable being the person customers turn to when something goes wrong or when there is hard news to deliver.

• You wait for direction rather than forming a view and bringing it to the team.

If reading our Culture Document leaves you feeling neutral rather than energised, hx may not be the place where you’ll do your best work. We’re building something that asks for commitment and conviction, and we want you to feel excited by the opportunity to grow with us.

Compensation
