Austin, Texas, United States; Dallas, Texas, United States; Morristown, New Jersey, United States; San Jose, California, United States

Title: Senior Product Manager, Insurance Products 

Location: Austin, TX / Dallas, TX / New Jersey, NJ / San Jose, CA (hybrid)

Company: Hippo Insurance 

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. We’ll also help you find coverage for everything life brings – from auto to flood –  reimagining how you care for your home. 

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. 

About You 

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. 

What You’ll Do 

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. 

Must Haves 

  • 5+ 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. 

Nice to Haves 

  • Product management experience in insurance, financial services, or an adjacent industry. 
  • Experience with customer engagement platforms, such as Customer.io and Braze. 
  • Experience with AI or automation tooling applied to configuration, pricing, or rules-based systems. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance/Accounting, Computer Science, or a related field.

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.
