Role
Who you are
- You have a bias for action and enjoy driving initiatives from insight to impact — innovating not just for the sake of it, but to move the needle on outcomes that matter
- You bring strong analytical skills and experience in business analytics across growth (GTM) and/or insurance domains such as retention, underwriting, and claims
- You act like an owner: going beyond reporting to identify trends, diagnose root causes, and recommend clear, actionable next steps
- You are detail-oriented and proactive, continuously looking for opportunities to improve performance
- You thrive in cross-functional environments, embrace diverse perspectives to sharpen your thinking, and communicate insights in ways that resonate with stakeholders across the business — because you know that the best results come from being in it together
- 3–5 years of experience in business analytics, strategy, or operations (experience in insurance or insurtech is a plus)
- Strong analytical and technical skills (SQL, Excel, Tableau)
- Experience working with performance metrics across growth and/or insurance domains (e.g., marketing funnels, retention, claims, underwriting)
- Ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders
- Strong communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional partners
- A proactive problem solver who takes ownership and drives outcomes
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with evolving priorities
What the job involves
- Reporting to: Director, GTM
- The Data Analyst will play a key role in supporting Hippo’s Business Enablement & Insights function by driving analytics across both growth and core insurance domains, including sales, marketing, retention, claims and underwriting
- This role goes beyond traditional reporting—focusing on translating complex data into actionable insights that drive profitable growth, operational efficiency, and risk-aware decision-making
- The analyst will partner closely with leaders across Sales, Marketing, Underwriting, Claims, and Product to monitor performance, diagnose drivers, and identify opportunities to optimize outcomes across the business
- As part of a centralized analytics team, this individual will help ensure consistent metrics, strong data foundations, and high-impact insights that directly support Hippo’s strategic and financial goals
- Build and maintain dashboards to track performance across growth and insurance KPIs (e.g., conversion, retention, loss ratio, claims efficiency, underwriting performance)
- Analyze trends and performance drivers across Sales, Marketing, Retention, Claims, and Underwriting, surfacing insights that impact growth and profitability
- Identify root causes of performance fluctuations and proactively highlight areas requiring action
- Partner with stakeholders across GTM and insurance functions to inform data-driven strategies and operational decisions
- Support retention and lifecycle analytics, including churn drivers, LTV, segmentation, and customer experience insights
- Contribute to claims and underwriting analytics, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, risk selection, and loss outcomes
- Collaborate with Technology and Data Engineering teams to define data requirements and improve data quality, tracking, and accessibility
- Develop executive-ready reports and presentations with clear insights and recommended actions
- Support forecasting, scenario modeling, and performance tracking against AOP and strategic targets
Our take
Hippo Insurance is a disrupter brand in the insurance market, using technology to change the way home insurance is managed. Based on smart home monitoring systems, clients can monitor the security of their homes and fix minor issues that may turn into larger ones later down the line.
Part of the new 'insurtech' revolution, Hippo Insurance brings a modern way of thinking to the somewhat outdated insurance market. Headquartered in Palo Alto, Hippo is technology-first and AI-driven. Its policies and services are currently available to 80% of US homeowners across 37 states.
The multi-unicorn company has garnered interest from established insurers and home-building companies eager to ride the insurtech wave. However, following a completed business combination with Reinvent Technology Partners Z in 2021, 83% of the latter's raised capital was withdrawn from Hippo. Though it still began trading at a value of $5 billion that year, Hippo's dramatic change of fortunes with Reinvent exemplifies how unpredictable the insurtech market can be, even for major players.
