Full job description
THE OPPORTUNITY The best people do not always fit neatly into an open requisition. If you are convinced you can create unusual value at Hedge, tell us what you should own, why it matters now, and what evidence says you can do it.
COMPENSATION AND OWNERSHIP For the kinds of founding roles we most often create through this path, base salary is $125K-$250K and equity is 0.25%-1.50%. The actual package will depend on the role, seniority, and scope we define together.
WHAT TO SEND
-
The problem at Hedge you believe you should own
-
What you would accomplish in your first 90 days
-
Evidence of exceptional work, judgment, speed, or persistence
-
The role, compensation, and working arrangement you think make sense
-
A resume, portfolio, work sample, or other proof that helps us understand your ability
THE CELL-NUMBER CHALLENGE If you can find Luke's cell number, send a concise text explaining the specific problem you would solve at Hedge. Respectful initiative gets noticed. Generic pitches do not. Please do not repeatedly call or message.
WHO THRIVES HERE You are unusually resourceful, direct, and accountable. You see important work before it becomes a formal job description and can explain your thesis without exaggeration.
WHY HEDGE Hedge is building the operating system for commercial insurance distribution. You will work directly with the founders and have room to shape a role around real company needs. We offer health benefits and meaningful equity.
WORK MODEL Most founding roles are based in San Francisco and work in person with the team. If a different arrangement is essential to your thesis, make the case clearly.
