Product Manager - Mobile & Customer Portal

Austin, TX

Job Title: Product Manager - Mobile & Customer Portal

Location: Austin, TX 

Reports to: Sr. Product Manager - Retention and CX  

About Hippo: 

Hippo was built on a promise: make homeownership effortless. Nearly a decade later, that mission still drives us. We use technology and data to help our customers stay ahead of problems and protect what matters most.  

Today, that same tech-native approach powers our work beyond homeowners. Hippo operates as a diversified carrier platform, partnering with MGAs to deliver tailored program solutions that help them grow and deliver better customer experiences. Behind that work is a team that values ownership, curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. 

If you're energized by building what's next, we'd love to meet you.

About the Role:  

We are looking for a results-driven Product Manager to lead our Mobile App and Customer Portal. Based in Austin, you'll own the digital touchpoints our policyholders rely on to manage their policy, file claims, and stay connected with Hippo. From the moment a customer activates their policy to the moment they renew, you'll shape what that journey looks and feels like.

What You’ll Do:  

  • Own the end-to-end policyholder journey. Map and optimize every touchpoint from onboarding to renewal across our mobile apps and customer portal. Partner with marketing, support, claims, and operations to reduce friction and deliver omnichannel experiences that feel seamless. 
  • Be the voice of the customer. Run frequent customer interviews and dig into CSAT and NPS data to surface insights. Set a high bar for quality and champion the policyholder perspective in every product decision. 
  • Identify opportunities to improve speed-to-market for product changes through tooling, process improvements, and automation.   
  • Drive a data-informed roadmap. Define success metrics tied to business outcomes—retention, cost to serve, and customer satisfaction. Use analytics tools to uncover behavioral insights, inform experimentation, and prioritize where to invest. 
  • Translate insights into crisp requirements (PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria) and partner closely with Engineering/Design/Data to ship high-quality solutions.   
  • Establish a strong operating cadence: prioritization frameworks, stakeholder alignment, launch readiness, training/comms, and performance tracking.  
  • Design and run experiments. Identify opportunities, sequence A/B tests thoughtfully, and translate results into clear product decisions. Know when to iterate and when to move on.   
  • Build with a strong team. Collaborate closely with design and engineering, bring a clear point of view, and stay open to other perspectives. Communicate roadmap decisions and tradeoffs to senior stakeholders with clarity and confidence. 

Must Haves:  

  • 3+ 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.  
  • Customer empathy. You listen before you build. You have a track record of conducting customer research and translating what you hear into product decisions. 
  • Design sensibility. You have a strong eye for good UX and can articulate why something works or doesn't. You hold a high bar for craft and know how to be a true partner to your UX counterpart. 
  • End-to-end product experience. You've owned a product from concept through launch and iteration, ideally a consumer-facing digital product with a multi-step user journey. 
  • Strong analytical instincts. You're comfortable defining metrics, building measurement plans, and using data to tell a story. You connect product success to business outcomes. 
  • Experimentation fluency. You know how to design a valid A/B test, interpret results without overclaiming, and build a testing cadence into your process. 
  • Clear, confident communication. You write and speak with precision. You can translate complex strategies into clear narratives for any audience, from engineers to senior executives, and you know how to drive alignment across teams with different priorities. 
  • High agency. You take ownership of hard problems and move forward without waiting for perfect information. 
  • Collaborative spirit. You earn trust by doing great work and making people around you better. You're a genuine team player with design, engineering, and cross-functional partners. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance/Accounting, Computer Science, or a related field.  

Nice to Haves:  

  • Insurance or fintech experience. You understand regulated industries and the trust that comes with handling someone's most important financial decisions. 
  • Consumer product experience. You've owned a high-traffic, user-facing digital product end to end. Bonus points if that includes native mobile app experience across iOS and Android. 
  • Familiarity with support and CX tooling. You've worked alongside customer support teams and understand how product decisions affect ticket volume and agent experience. 
  • Growth or lifecycle marketing collaboration. You've partnered with lifecycle or growth teams to build triggered messaging, re-engagement flows, or renewal campaigns.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
