## Description

### **THE OPPORTUNITY**

Hedge is hiring a founding Head of Partnerships to create the alliances that expand our distribution, capabilities, and reach. This is not the carrier-appointment role. You will own strategic relationships with agency networks, associations, technology providers, data partners, and other platforms that can create durable, two-sided value.
 

### **COMPENSATION AND OWNERSHIPBase salary is $120K-$250K. Equity is 0.25%-1.25%. We will size the package to the scope, network, and operating ownership you bring.**
 

### **WHAT YOU WILL OWN**

- Develop and prioritize Hedge's partnership strategy

- Source, negotiate, launch, and grow agency-network and association partnerships

- Build technology, data, distribution, and program alliances where they create clear customer value

- Create partner economics, launch plans, success metrics, and governance

- Coordinate product, legal, operations, and go-to-market work required to make partnerships real

- Build a repeatable pipeline and operating cadence, not a collection of logos

 

### **WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE**

- **First 30 days:** map the partner landscape and define a ranked strategy

- **By day 60:** advance a focused pipeline with clear value propositions and economics

- **By day 90:** launch or materially advance the first high-value partnership

- **In 12 months:** create a portfolio of partnerships that produces measurable distribution, product, or data advantage

 

### **WHO THRIVES HERE**

You are a senior relationship builder who can also structure deals and drive implementation. You distinguish partnership theater from operating leverage and are comfortable being accountable for results after the agreement is signed.
 

### **WHY HEDGE**

Hedge is building the operating system for commercial insurance distribution. You will work directly with the founders and define a function that can become a durable company advantage. We offer health benefits and meaningful equity.
 

### **WORK MODEL**

This role may be based in San Francisco or remote within the United States. Regular travel for partner and team work is expected.
 

### **INTERVIEW PROCESS**

- Application review

- Focused introductory conversation

- Partnership portfolio and deal deep dive

- Working session on a realistic Hedge partnership opportunity

- Final conversation with the founders

Hedge is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate candidates based on ability, judgment, and potential, and we do not discriminate based on protected characteristics.
