Junior Project Manager

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Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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 - 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 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 role

At hx, Project Management is more than running timelines and reporting progress - it's about driving customer success, accelerating time-to-value, and being the bridge between ambitious clients and technology. What makes us stand out is the mix of depth and ambition: we know the technology, we earn client trust, and we're constantly pushing how AI and new tools can raise the standard of delivery.

As a Junior Project Manager, you'll be right at the heart of project delivery and not just supporting from the sidelines. With training and support, you'll quickly grow into leading your own customer projects end-to-end, working directly with insurers and internal teams to bring pricing models and integrations live. You'll be the main point of contact for customers, building trust and managing every aspect of delivery - an experience that will stretch and accelerate your growth. It's a rare chance to operate at the front line of enterprise SaaS delivery from day one, building a toolkit of skills that many people only develop years later. Past hx PMs have gone on to careers in Product Management or Technical Delivery because of the breadth and depth of exposure this role gives.

This opportunity is designed for someone early in their career who wants to learn fast, work directly with customers, and experiment with new ways of working - from ClickUp to AI-enabled workflows. Imagine giving clients instant insights after a workshop, providing visual project timelines built in minutes, or using AI to surface lessons from past projects so we avoid repeating mistakes. You'll be at the forefront of showing our customers what AI-enabled delivery looks like.

What you'll be doing

• Run high-impact customer projects: take ownership of 1-2 client deliveries within 3 months, proving that you can manage timelines, stakeholders, and outcomes end-to-end.
• Drive time-to-value: help customers go live with hx Renew within 3 months of signing, ensuring they adopt the platform quickly and see measurable business impact.
• Use AI at the core of delivery: from turning hours of workshop discussion into crisp decision-ready summaries, to generating "what-if" scenarios for project timelines, to surfacing risks and dependencies before they become blockers. You'll be encouraged to test new ways of working and share what you learn, helping shape how we deliver projects in an AI-native way.
• Be the bridge between customers and internal teams - translating customer needs into clear actions for Technology, Model Development, and Customer Engineering.
• Drive continuous improvement: design and roll out at least 2 improvements to PM processes (templates, AI-enabled reporting, handover checklists) within your first 6 months.

What you'll need to have done

• Demonstrated project management fundamentals (planning, scheduling, risk/issue tracking, stakeholder comms) through university, internships, or early career roles.
• Worked directly with stakeholders and adapted communication to fit technical, commercial, or senior audiences.
• Delivered or contributed to projects in SaaS, technology, financial services, or consulting, showing comfort with complexity.
• Experimented with AI tools to improve your work, whether summarising, automating, or creating project artefacts - and can talk about where AI adds value (and where human judgment is still critical).
• Taken the initiative to improve a process, tool, or workflow, and seen it through to adoption.
• Shown a growth mindset, balancing independence with knowing when to ask for help, and eager to accelerate your learning curve.

You're unlikely to thrive here if

• You prefer staying at the surface level - here, project managers are trusted because they go deeper, learning enough about the platform, models, and integrations to answer client questions with confidence.
• You shy away from technical detail, AI, or new tools. This role asks for curiosity and a willingness to get hands-on with the systems shaping our industry.
• You expect to be given step-by-step direction. At hx, we'll support you, but we look for self-starters who learn fast, take initiative, and improve what they touch.
• 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.
