Identify opportunities 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 in distribution tech, 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-bind conversion rate
Business & Stakeholder Partnership
Serve as the primary bridge between distribution, sales, and insurance business teams and the Engineering organization — deeply understanding partner and business needs and enabling tech to meet them
Build strong partnerships with distribution partners, agents, and internal stakeholders, earning trust through consistent delivery, clear communication, and a genuine understanding of the P&C distribution landscape
Communicate strategy, tradeoffs, and outcomes to leadership with narratives grounded in data and business impact
Platform & Integration Excellence
Drive the evolution of Hippo’s quoting and binding platform — enabling faster, more reliable, and scalable quote experiences across all distribution channels
Own the API and integrations layer — managing vendor data integrations, third-party partner connections, and quoting data quality and governance
Champion AI-native thinking across the platform —identifying and driving opportunities to embed AI into quoting workflows, data enrichment, and partner experiences to increase automation, accuracy, and intelligence at scale
Must Haves: 7+ 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
Experience owning API-heavy or integration-dense platforms — managing third-party vendors, partner APIs, and data pipelines as core product responsibilities, with a track record of building and scaling complex platforms
Partner or channel management exposure — has worked closely alongside agents, distribution partners, or external sales channels and understands what it takes to earn and maintain their trust
Proven track record of bridging the gap between business and engineering — translating ambiguous business problems into clear technical requirements, and helping engineering teams understand the ‘why’ behind the work
Demonstrated track record of directly improving distribution and conversion metrics — GWP growth, quote-to-bind rates, channel activation — at meaningful scale
Ability to set a compelling vision and strategy for a technical domain while simultaneously driving rigorous near-term execution. You are equally comfortable in a strategy conversation and a sprint planning session
Strong stakeholder management skills — 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. Able to distill complex topics into clear narratives for diverse audiences
Product management experience in insurance, financial services, or an adjacent industry
