About Hippo:

Hippo exists to protect the joy of homeownership. We believe that insurance should protect the things you treasure through an intuitive, modern experience. We provide tailored insurance coverage and preventative maintenance plans that keep you protected throughout your homeowner journey.

About This Role:

The Homeowner Product Manager is responsible for driving the growth and profitability of the Homeowners line of business across a group of assigned states. This role combines product strategy, data-driven decision making, and regulatory management to ensure the company meets its financial, operational, and compliance objectives.

You are an analytical, data-driven professional who thrives at the intersection of insurance and strategy. You combine deep technical skills with business insight, using data to tell the story of performance, profitability, and opportunity.

You take ownership of your states like a business within the business-monitoring health, identifying trends, and driving strategies that improve retention, growth, and profitability. You work closely with teams across Actuarial, Underwriting, Claims, and State Filings to deliver on company objectives, and you bring a proactive, problem-solving mindset to everything you do.
