Senior Product Manager, Hippo Insurance

• We are looking for someone who sets aspirational goals and has the agency to deliver them – someone who can think broadly about the future of our insurance product technology while executing with precision in the near term
• 7+ years of experience in product management, including full ownership of the product backlog and leading the end-to-end software development lifecycle in collaboration with a team of at least four engineers, delivering impactful and user-focused solutions
• Proven track record of owning or building platform-level products – rules engines, pricing/rating engines, configuration systems, or similar core infrastructure – and leading large-scale improvements to them. You understand how these systems work and what it takes to evolve them safely at scale
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional teams and delivering high-impact products, with the ability to inspire and motivate a team to achieve ambitious goals
• Strong stakeholder management skills – proven ability to earn trust across business, technical, and executive audiences, and to navigate competing priorities with clarity and conviction
• Data-driven decision making with strong analytical skills. Comfortable defining success metrics, analyzing results, and iterating with discipline
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to clearly articulate product strategies, goals, and roadmaps to diverse audiences, including senior executives, engineers, designers, and customers

Desirable

• We are looking for a seasoned Senior Product Manager to own Hippo’s Insurance Products charter – the rating and pricing engine, coverage and eligibility logic, business rules, and the core infrastructure that powers how we price and structure risk
• This is a strategic, high-impact role that combines platform ownership with direct P&L impact: you’ll set the multi-year direction for our insurance product infrastructure while driving the day-to-day execution that keeps one of Hippo’s most important business lines competitive, compliant, and profitable
• You’re comfortable leading large-scale improvements to core infrastructural platforms, and equally comfortable in a strategy conversation and a sprint planning session
• Strategy & Vision
• Define and own the multi-year product strategy and vision for Hippo’s Insurance Products platform – spanning the rating and pricing engine, coverages, deductibles, discounts, eligibilities, and more
• Identify opportunities to modernize and scale the platform in ways that directly improve speed-to-market, profitability, and risk mitigation
• Influence and shape company-level prioritization decisions for the Insurance Products platform, building alignment across product, engineering, and business leadership without direct authority
• Stay ahead of market, regulatory, and competitive trends – translating them into a roadmap that keeps Hippo’s insurance products competitive
• Execution & Delivery
• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for the Insurance Products platform: discovery, prioritization, requirements, delivery, and post-launch monitoring
• Lead the execution of large, cross-functional initiatives, including compliance and regulatory changes, partnering with Insurance, Legal/Compliance, Operations, and Engineering to deliver on time with clear risk mitigation and auditability
• Translate insights into crisp requirements (PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria) and partner closely with Engineering, Design, and Data to ship high-quality, platform-level solutions
• Drive measurable outcomes – define success metrics and KPIs, instrument product changes, analyze impact, and iterate based on results
• Business & Stakeholder Partnership
• Serve as the primary bridge between Insurance, Legal/Compliance, and Operations business teams and the Engineering organization – deeply understanding business needs and enabling tech to meet them
• Build strong partnerships with business stakeholders, earning trust through consistent delivery, clear communication, and a genuine understanding of insurance and risk
• Establish a strong operating cadence: prioritization frameworks, stakeholder alignment, launch readiness, training/comms, and performance tracking
• Communicate strategy, tradeoffs, and outcomes to leadership with clear narratives grounded in data and customer impact
• Platform & Automation Enablement
• Drive the evolution of Hippo’s rating, pricing, and business rules infrastructure – enabling faster, safer, and more auditable changes to insurance product logic
• Identify and lead large-scale improvements to core infrastructural platforms, improving speed-to-market for product changes through tooling, process improvements, and automation
• Partner with Engineering to shorten the feedback loop between product decisions and production deployment across the platform
