Hi, I'm Patrick - hx's Director of Partnerships and Strategic Development.
I joined hx just over a year ago after over 9 years in the insurtech industry. A year in, I am glad to share that the partnerships vertical has cemented itself as one of the strategic pillars that is now foundational to hx's continued growth and success. As we continue our penetration into the North American market, we are now at a point where we need to bring on a Strategic Partnerships Manager based in our NYC office to own key partner relationships, primarily in the consulting/SI space, as well as proactively source our next set of needle-moving strategic relationships to fuel revenue growth.
The global team you'd be joining is innovative, efficient, curious and impactful (+ quick-witted). We explore potential partnership growth initiatives with a strict focus and ROI in mind. We are a team of self-starters that thrive when being thrown into the deep end and create measurable success.
There is no 'perfect' candidate. Exposure to or experience with partnerships, business development, sales and relationship building in the US P&C market is being prioritized, it is not a hard requirement. hx is a company where the sum of our parts has a massively disproportionate impact than any individual skillset, so if you think you are a team player that does best when driving cross-functional success both internally and externally, we would love to chat!
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Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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 50 of the world’s largest insurers, with near 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 built to endure.
If that sounds like you, join us in building what comes next.
Our partners include global consultancies and systems integrators across the Big Four, MBB and specialist firms, alongside leading technology and data providers.
These relationships help us enter new accounts, support complex customer transformations and build confidence in the wider hx ecosystem. When they work well, partnerships become a force multiplier across our entire commercial organisation.
The team is still relatively young and operates with a broad remit. We work closely with Sales, Solutions, Marketing, Customer Success, Delivery and Product across joint go-to-market planning, business development, partner enablement and commercial relationships.
As Strategic Partnerships Manager, you’ll own a portfolio of key North American relationships while identifying and developing new opportunities. You’ll be accountable for turning those relationships into measurable outcomes, including partner-influenced pipeline, joint opportunities, stronger delivery capability and long-term strategic value.
Own and grow strategic relationships with consulting firms, systems integrators, technology companies and data partners across North America.
Build joint business plans covering account mapping, pipeline generation, enablement, marketing activity and shared commercial goals.
Identify and develop new partners that can expand hx’s reach within the insurance market.
Work with Sales teams to identify co-selling opportunities, coordinate account activity and generate partner-led pipeline.
Collaborate with Marketing on joint campaigns, events, content and market-facing initiatives.
Partner with Solutions, Customer Success and Delivery to ensure partners are equipped to support hx customers effectively.
Develop repeatable partner enablement, training, accreditation and certification programmes.
Use AI and automation to improve the efficiency and quality of partner research, planning, reporting and engagement.
Built and grown strategic partnerships within SaaS, AI, technology, consulting or a similarly complex industry.
Managed senior relationships across consultancies, systems integrators, technology providers or other strategic partners.
Created joint go-to-market plans and co-selling initiatives that delivered measurable pipeline or revenue.
Navigated complex commercial discussions, proposals, contracts and partnership agreements.
Worked cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Delivery, Product and Solutions teams to deliver shared outcomes.
Used data, commercial tools and AI to prioritise opportunities, improve partner performance and operate effectively in a fast-moving environment.
You prefer maintaining established partner relationships rather than building and developing them.
You find it difficult to connect relationship-building activity to clear commercial outcomes.
You are reluctant to use AI and new technology to improve how you work.
If reading our Culture Document leaves you feeling neutral rather than energized, hx may not be the place where you will do your best work. We are building something that asks for commitment and conviction, and we want you to feel excited by the opportunity to grow with us.
