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 seasoned compliance leader with deep experience in insurance regulatory environments and a proven ability to build and scale compliance programs from the ground up. You thrive at the intersection of legal, operations, and business strategy-translating complex regulatory requirements into practical frameworks that enable the business to move with confidence.
You are a natural collaborator who builds trust across functions and brings a risk-based, solutions-oriented mindset to every challenge. You are equally comfortable presenting to the Board and rolling up your sleeves to design a monitoring program with your team. Experience at a publicly traded insurance company and familiarity with the demands of public-company compliance are a strong plus.
