Title: Senior Innovation Manager
Location: Austin, TX / Morristown, NJ
Reports To: Chief of Staff
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:
You are a curious, well-connected InsurTech generalist who lives at the intersection of insurance, technology, and data. You don't wait for innovation to come to you — you're constantly scanning the market for what's next: emerging vendors, new data sources, AI/automation tools, InsurTech startups, MGA and program partners, and shifts in underwriting, claims, and distribution technology. You know how to turn a wide, noisy landscape into a short list of things worth a leadership conversation.
You're comfortable operating independently as an individual contributor at a senior level — you don't need a team under you to have impact. You can hold your own in a room with executives, translate a vendor pitch into a business case, and know the difference between a shiny object and something that actually moves the needle for Hippo. You're equally comfortable running a competitive landscape analysis, evaluating a new data partner, and briefing the C-suite on where the industry is headed.
What You'll Do:
Own Hippo's ongoing view of the InsurTech and adjacent-industry landscape — tracking emerging vendors, technologies, data sources, and startups relevant to underwriting, claims, distribution, and customer experience
Build and maintain a structured pipeline of innovation opportunities (vendors, partnerships, data providers, tools) with clear evaluation criteria and business relevance
Proactively source and vet new vendors and partners; run initial diligence (capabilities, data quality, pricing, integration complexity, competitive differentiation) before looping in stakeholders
Partner directly with leadership and department heads (Underwriting, Claims, Product, Data Science, Distribution) to understand their priorities and surface innovations that address real business needs
Translate market scans and vendor research into clear, decision-ready recommendations — memos, briefings, and comparison frameworks that leadership can act on quickly
Monitor industry data sources, research reports, conferences, and competitor moves to maintain Hippo's awareness of where the market is heading
Manage relationships with a network of vendors, InsurTech scouts, VCs, and industry contacts to maintain early visibility into emerging opportunities
Track and report on the innovation pipeline — what's been evaluated, what's in progress, what's been piloted, and outcomes — to keep leadership informed on ROI and progress
Represent Hippo at relevant industry events, conferences, and vendor briefings as the eyes and ears of the organization on emerging trends
Partner closely with the Chief of Staff and, as needed, the CEO's office to keep executive leadership current on the innovation landscape and to align scouting priorities with company-wide strategic initiatives
Must Haves:
5+ years of experience in insurance, InsurTech, or a related technology/data industry, with meaningful exposure to underwriting, claims, or insurance operations
Demonstrated experience evaluating vendors, technologies, or data partnerships and translating findings into business recommendations
Strong analytical skills; comfortable digging into vendor capabilities, data quality, and competitive positioning without needing a research team to do it for you
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to brief senior leadership clearly and concisely
A demonstrated network or track record of staying plugged into industry trends, startups, and emerging technology (via conferences, VC relationships, industry publications, etc.)
Highly self-directed; proven ability to manage ambiguous, self-initiated work as an individual contributor at a senior level
Comfortable working cross-functionally with Underwriting, Claims, Product, and Data Science stakeholders
Nice to Haves:
Experience in property & casualty insurance specifically
Prior experience in a corporate innovation, corporate venture, competitive intelligence, or strategy role
Existing relationships with InsurTech VCs, accelerators, or startup ecosystems
Familiarity with AI/ML, automation, or data platform vendors relevant to insurance operations
