People & Talent Ops Specialist

Hi, I’m Ellie, People Lead at hx. I joined hx in January 2025 as a Senior People Partner and have recently stepped into the People Lead role. Outside of work, I’m an F1 fan and dog mum, so I’m no stranger to fast-paced environments or the occasional pit stop for walkies. Our People team supports all things people at hx, from performance and engagement to the systems, insights and day-to-day operations that help our teams do their best work. We’re growing the team and looking for someone to own our People reporting and analytics, while helping keep the operational side of the function running smoothly. It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys turning data into meaningful insights, wants to make a real impact and is excited to help shape how the People team grows alongside the business.

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 Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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 People team Our People team owns the systems and data that keep hx a high-performance, high-engagement place to work: performance and growth, people analytics, compensation and benefits, and HR compliance. We are building the reporting layer that lets the business make faster, better-evidenced decisions about its people rather than relying on instinct, and we work closely with Talent to connect hiring and pipeline data with performance and engagement data so leaders see the full employee lifecycle instead of fragments of it. Inside People and Talent, AI has already changed how we screen, how we write up interviews and how we surface insight to leaders. There is far more to do. Plenty of what we do still runs on manual effort that could be designed out, and this role exists to go after that. We care much more about what you have built and put in front of real users than about the size of the team you have sat in. You will work directly with People Leaders, with real scope to shape how the team works as we grow. One thing worth being direct about: there is no finished playbook here. If you need a well-defined remit and clear instruction to do your best work, this will be frustrating. If you would rather find the problem yourself and build the fix, you will have a lot of room. What you'll be doing Build and own the People reporting layer. Dashboards on retention, attrition, engagement and other core KPIs, and the analysis that turns a trend into a recommendation leaders can act on. Work with Talent to join hiring and pipeline data to People data, giving one view of the lifecycle from candidate to tenure that leaders can interrogate themselves. Design and build AI tooling for the team. Agents and skills that handle recurring people queries, draft the documentation we currently write by hand, and surface insight without someone having to run a report. You will build these yourself, iterate once real users hit them, and own them afterwards. Find the parts of our core people processes that run on manual effort, from onboarding through to payroll data integrity, and rebuild them. We will judge this on what changes, not on whether it keeps running. Analyse what comes out of our performance review cycles in Lattice and our engagement surveys, and turn that into initiatives the team can act on. Keep our HRIS data accurate and trustworthy, including records, reporting and troubleshooting. Support HR administration, compliance and benefits, incl
