Senior Product Manager - Insurance Products

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.

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.
