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 You:

Hippo is hiring a Lead Product Manager with a proven track record of owning complex, high-stakes distribution and quoting platforms in insurance or related industries to own Hippo’s Quoting & Distribution charter. This is a strategic, high-impact role at the intersection of distribution technology, partner ecosystem, and business growth — responsible for the end-to-end quoting and binding platform including our quoting and binding orchestration, API and integrations layer, vendor data ecosystem, and application data management. You will play a key role in making this platform modern and scalable — also leveraging AI to create smarter, faster, and more scalable quoting experiences across all distribution channels.

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 distribution technology and AI-native platforms while executing with precision in the near term.

What You’ll Do:

Strategy & Vision

• Define and own the multi-year product strategy and vision for Hippo’s Quoting & Distribution platform — spanning the quote and bind flow, API/integrations layer, and vendor data ecosystem.
• Identifyopportunities to improve quote-to-bind conversion and accelerate distribution channel growth by modernizing quoting infrastructure, expanding partner integrations, and embedding AI-native capabilities into the platform.
• Influence and shape company-level prioritization decisions for the quoting platform, building alignment across product, engineering, distribution, and business leadership without direct authority.
• Stay ahead of emerging trends indistributiontech, comparative raters, AI, and insurtech partnerships — translating them into a roadmap that positions Hippo competitively.

Execution & Delivery

• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for the quoting and distribution platform: discovery, prioritization, requirements, delivery, and post-launch performance.
• Lead cross-functional execution of major platform initiatives, partnering with Engineering,Partnership/Distribution, Marketing, and Insurance Business Teams to deliver on time and with quality.
• Translate complex integration and business requirements into crisp, actionable PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Drive measurable outcomes — own the metrics that matter, including GWP growth through distribution channels and quote-to-bin
