Product Manager - Mobile & Customer Portal Austin, TX Job Title: Product Manager - Mobile & Customer Portal Location: Austin, TX Reports to: Sr. Product Manager - Retention and CX 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 We are looking for a results-driven Product Manager to lead our Mobile App and Customer Portal. Based in Austin, you’ll own the digital touchpoints our policyholders rely on to manage their policy, file claims, and stay connected with Hippo. From the moment a customer activates their policy to the moment they renew, you’ll shape what that journey looks and feels like. What You’ll Do Own the end-to-end policyholder journey: map and optimize every touchpoint from onboarding to renewal across our mobile apps and customer portal. Partner with marketing, support, claims, and operations to reduce friction and deliver omnichannel experiences that feel seamless. Be the voice of the customer: run frequent customer interviews and dig into CSAT and NPS data to surface insights. Set a high bar for quality and champion the policyholder perspective in every product decision. Identify opportunities to improve speed-to-market for product changes through tooling, process improvements, and automation. Drive a data-informed roadmap: define success metrics tied to business outcomes—retention, cost to serve, and customer satisfaction. Use analytics tools to uncover behavioral insights, inform experimentation, and prioritize where to invest. Translate insights into crisp requirements (PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria) and partner closely with Engineering/Design/Data to ship high-quality solutions. Establish a strong operating cadence: prioritization frameworks, stakeholder alignment, launch readiness, training/comms, and performance tracking. Design and run experiments: identify opportunities, sequence A/B tests thoughtfully, and translate results into clear product decisions. Know when to iterate and when to move on. Build with a strong team: collaborate closely with design and engineering, bring a clear point of view, and stay open to other perspectives. Communicate roadmap decisions and tradeoffs to senior stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
