Senior Strategic Account Executive

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 For too long, those decisions have been made using outdated tools.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.

About The Sales Team

Our Sales team has grown quickly since launching in 2021. We work with some of the world's leading insurers, including Sompo, Markel, Beazley, Aspen, Ascot, Aviva, Convex, Canopius, Aegis, Inigo, and one of the "Big 5" US insurers.

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.

What You'll Do

• Own and grow a high-value enterprise territory, driving new logo acquisition across the US insurance market
• Lead complex sales cycles from first conversation through to close, across deals typically ranging from $250K to $1.5M+ ARR
• Build relationships with senior stakeholders across business, technical, and executive teams
• Develop a strong pipeline through a mix of outbound, account planning, and close partnership with SDRs and marketing
• Run a strategic sales process that balances near-term opportunities with longer-term enterprise pursuits
• Work closely with pre-sales, product, and services to shape compelling solutions for sophisticated buyers
• Represent hx externally with credibility, curiosity, and commercial sharpness

What We're Looking For

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• a strong track record of closing complex enterprise SaaS deals, ideally with experience in strategic, six- or seven-figure enterprise pursuits
• experience selling into senior, multi-stakeholder buying groups
• the ability to run thoughtful, disciplined sales cycles in longer, more strategic markets
• a history of building pipeline, especially through targeted account planning and senior stakeholder engagement
• strong commercial judgment and the ability to navigate ambiguity
• a consultative approach and the instinct to build trust, not just push process

You do not need to come from insurance. You do need to enjoy complex enterprise selling and be excited by learning a category in depth.
