Title: Data Analyst
Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid, 2 days a week, Tue & Wed)
Reporting to: Sr. Manager, Owned Program Analytics
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.
Hippo's shared services organization is scaling, and we need an analyst who can own analytics for critical operational areas and tell a compelling story with data. In this role, you will partner with the Analytics Lead and operational teams to design dashboards, uncover insights, and drive decisions.
You will take ownership of your analytics verticals from the ground up - defining what we measure, building the dashboards, and translating data into actionable business insights. You'll present findings directly to the stakeholders and operational leaders. This is not a supporting role; you own the narrative and drive business conversations with data.
Reporting to Sr Manager, Data & Analytics, you'll have autonomy to shape how shared services uses data to optimize operations.
About You:
Are you a data analyst who wants to work in a fast growing InsurTech company where shared services touches nearly every function at Hippo. Right now, critical questions go unanswered: How are we retaining agents? What's driving retention in certain states or roles? What's our actual office utilization? Are HR processes working as designed?
This data analyst will change that. You will unlock visibility into operations, support strategic decisions, and demonstrate the value of analytics to the business.
You're someone who:
Gets excited about uncovering insights in data and sharing them with others
Doesn't wait to be told what to do - you see the gap and fill it
