THE OPPORTUNITY

Hedge is hiring a founding growth operator to build the systems that turn market opportunity into repeatable revenue. This is a hands-on role for someone who can move from analysis to campaign to operating process without waiting for a large team.

COMPENSATION AND UPSIDE

Base salary is $110K-$150K. Target OTE is $180K-$250K, with performance compensation tied to measurable growth outcomes. Equity is 0.25%-1.50%.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Build the growth data model, dashboards, attribution, and operating cadence
Design and run acquisition, activation, and expansion experiments
Create lifecycle programs for agencies, prospects, and dormant opportunities
Improve lead routing, enrichment, segmentation, and conversion across the funnel
Partner with sales, product, and markets to turn insight into execution
Document the playbooks that let a small team scale

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

First 30 days: establish a trusted funnel baseline and identify the highest-leverage gaps
By day 60: launch measurable experiments and a weekly growth review
By day 90: show improved conversion in at least one material part of the funnel

In 12 months: operate a predictable, instrumented growth engine with clear economics

WHO THRIVES HERE

You combine analytical depth with a bias to ship. You are comfortable in spreadsheets, systems, and customer conversations, and you can distinguish a useful signal from a vanity metric. Early-stage experience is strongly preferred.

WHY HEDGE

Hedge is building the operating system for commercial insurance distribution. You will work directly with the founders, own a consequential part of the company, and help define how the function works as we scale. We offer health benefits and meaningful equity.

WORK MODEL

This role is based in San Francisco and works in person with the team six days a week.
