# Founding Sales Development Representative (SDR)

**Hedge** · San Francisco - In Office

Salary: $60,000–$100,000 per year

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/hedge/cbfb7663-82ed-4a1b-99c3-99e838fe9a8f

## About Hedge

Hedge is an AI-Native specialty insurance company. We help insurance brokers find faster, cheaper, and better coverage for their customers.

## About the role

#### THE OPPORTUNITY

Hedge is looking for a founding SDR who wants real ownership, unusually high upside, and a direct path into closing roles. You will turn a large market of independent insurance agencies into qualified conversations and measurable bound premium.

#### COMPENSATION AND UPSIDE

**Target OTE is $200K at an $80K base. Base salary is $60K-$100K, creating a target cash range of $180K-$220K across the base range. You will earn $50 for each held qualified meeting, with annual meeting pay capped at $15K, plus a $105K target revenue component and uncapped accelerators. Equity is 0.10% at hire, with up to an additional 0.05% performance grant. The annual target is $2.5M in sourced bound premium.**

#### WHAT YOU WILL OWN

- Run disciplined, high-volume outreach across phone, email, and social channels

- Research and prioritize agencies whose books fit Hedge's markets

- Qualify for fit, urgency, decision process, and premium opportunity

- Book meetings that advance into real submission and revenue opportunities

- Maintain clean CRM data and build a repeatable outbound operating system

- Work tightly with AEs, brokers, and marketing to improve conversion

#### WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- First 30 days: learn the product, agency workflow, market vocabulary, and ideal customer profile

- By day 60: own a consistent daily outbound cadence and produce qualified meetings

- By day 90: show repeatable meeting-to-opportunity conversion and clean pipeline discipline

- In 12 months: source $2.5M in bound premium and create a proven path toward an AE seat

#### WHO THRIVES HERE

You are competitive, coachable, organized, and comfortable hearing no. You write clearly, speak with energy, use data without hiding behind it, and want your pay tied to business results. Insurance experience helps but is not required.

#### 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.

#### INTERVIEW PROCESS

1. Application review

2. A focused introductory conversation

3. A role-specific deep dive

4. A practical working session based on a realistic Hedge scenario

5. 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.
