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 Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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 Solutions Engineering team Solutions Engineering at hx is the technical heart of our go-to-market organisation.

Our Solution Engineers sit at the edge of what's possible for our product, our customers, and our industry.

You help customers reimagine how pricing and underwriting can work, turning bold ideas and messy legacy realities into practical, production-ready solutions that actually ship. You leave a trace that shapes how customers see the entire company.

Competitive Salary plus excellent benefits Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) is a modern, mission-driven institution with a distinctive heritage and a strong commitment to education, inclusion and societal impact. Based in the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, with parts of its campus located within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the University is nationally recognised as one of the largest talent providers in the South East of England for public services. Founded in 1962 with deep roots in teacher education, health and social care, the University now prepares future talent for careers across STEM, non-STEM disciplines and medicine. With an increasingly international profile and a growing global footprint, it serves more than thirty thousand students. As an anchor institution for Kent and Medway, Canterbury Christ Church University brings together academic excellence with a strong social mission. Through its people centred approach, commitment to public service, community engagement and widening participation, the University plays a leading role in transforming lives and strengthening communities locally, nationally and globally. The Director of Marketing, Admissions, Recruitment and Communications (MARC) is a pivotal senior leadership role who will play a leading role in positioning CCCU in one of the most dynamic and transformative periods in UK higher education. The post shapes the University's brand, market presence and student growth strategy, and leads a fully integrated MARC directorate to deliver a seamless, insight-driven applicant journey from first engagement through to enrolment. Sitting at the centre of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education, Student Growth and Global Engagement) portfolio, the Director works within a highly connected leadership team that brings together Marketing, Admissions, Recruitment and Communications with Education and Student Success, Graduate Futures and Alumni Relations, Global Engagement and Internationalisation, and Specialist Resources and Technical Services. The role offers the opportunity to join the PVC Portfolio Executive Team and the University Leadership Forum at a moment of significant sector reform. The introduction of the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE), the shifts in employer expectations, modular learning growth, digital transformation and AI are reshaping demand, behaviour and competition. CCCU is positioning itself to lead in this space, and the Director will play a critical role in preparing the institution for a future defined by flexible and personalised education. This includes enabling flexible, modular study pathways, modernising admissions into an agile year-round service, ensuring portfolio alignment with employer and learner demand, and strengthening CCCU's proposition for adult learners, upskilling professionals and non-traditional entrants. The Director will lead a high-performing MARC directorate with clear priorities and measurable outcomes. They will champion a digital, insight-led approach to marketing, outreach and recruitment; oversee distinctive audience-focused campaigns; and embed data, evaluation and segmentation at the heart of activity. A unified communications approach will support effective internal engagement while enhancing CCCU's external profile through media relations, reputation management, crisis communications and public affairs. Governance, regulation and performance oversight are critical aspects of the role. The Director will oversee compliance with the UKVI, CMA, OfS and GDPR frameworks, ensure responsible recruitment practice, and oversee robust evaluation, reporting and risk management. They will play an influential cross-university role, working collaboratively with academic and professional services leaders to ensure MARC strategy informs-and is informed by-wider institutional priorities. CCCU is seeking an experienced senior leader with a strong track record across marketing and communications in higher education or a similarly complex environment. Candidates will bring strategic insight, commercial literacy, digital fluency and inclusive, values-led leadership. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone motivated to join an ambitious University with motivated and supportive Executive Leadership, to lead a directorate that unites brand strength, recruitment performance and student growth.
