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 The Role:
Hippo is hiring a Senior Communications Manager to lead press and media strategy across corporate storytelling. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Communications, you’ll serve as a strategic partner in amplifying Hippo’s narrative across investors, partners, media, and the broader insurance ecosystem translating complex business results, product capabilities, and market dynamics into stories that build trust and market authority.
This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role at a publicly traded company sitting at the intersection of insurance and technology. You’ll bring judgment and initiative to a fast-moving, high-growth team, and build a sustainable system for driving ongoing storytelling across executive communications, earnings, and dedicated consumer-facing campaigns.
About You:
You're a skilled storyteller who can turn technical, regulated-industry topics into narratives that resonate, moving fluidly between corporate and consumer storytelling while always building toward the bigger brand picture. You nurture priority media relationships over time rather than relying on one-off outreach, and you're a trusted advisor to senior executives — coaching spokespeople, exercising sound judgment on when and how leaders should show up publicly, and navigating crisis and reputation management with confidence.
You take initiative and thrive in ambiguity within a lean, high-ownership environment, and you're just as comfortable partnering with Legal, external agencies, and Finance/IR as you are mining story ideas directly with leadership.
