Homeowner Product Manager

Title: Homeowner Product Manager

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. 

About This Role: 

The Homeowner Product Manager is responsible for driving the growth and profitability of the Homeowners line of business across a group of assigned states.
