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 This Role

We are seeking a strategic and experienced Actuary to support our pricing strategy across our portfolio of third-party P&C programs. This role will support program price monitoring, planning, and reinsurance placement, helping to inform underwriting decisions, strengthen cross-functional alignment, and deliver insights that directly impact growth and risk management. The ideal candidate combines technical excellence with insurance aptitude and the ability to influence stakeholders across the organization.

About You

You’re an ACAS-credentialed pricing actuary who has worked across several P&C lines and is comfortable building from the ground up. You make sound pricing calls on thin experience data, using industry benchmarks, judgment and a clear statement of your assumptions. You build frameworks, monitoring tools and governance that make pricing consistent across a growing portfolio, and you keep them simple enough to maintain. You explain actuarial conclusions in plain terms to executives, underwriters and program partners, and you work closely with Underwriting, Claims, Finance and Reinsurance. You use SQL, AI tools and code to work faster, and you help develop the people around you.
