Title: Data Analyst Location: Austin, TX (Flexible / Hybrid) Reporting to: Director, GTM About Hippo: Hippo exists to protect the joy of homeownership. We believe that insurance should protect the things you treasure through an intuitive, modern experience. We provide tailored insurance coverage and preventative maintenance plans that keep you protected throughout your homeowner journey. We’ll also help you find coverage for everything life brings—from auto to flood—reimagining how you care for your home. About This Role: The Data Analyst will play a key role in supporting Hippo’s Business Enablement & Insights function by driving analytics across both growth and core insurance domains, including sales, marketing, retention, claims and underwriting. This role goes beyond traditional reporting—focusing on translating complex data into actionable insights that drive profitable growth, operational efficiency, and risk-aware decision-making. The analyst will partner closely with leaders across Sales, Marketing, Underwriting, Claims, and Product to monitor performance, diagnose drivers, and identify opportunities to optimize outcomes across the business. As part of a centralized analytics team, this individual will help ensure consistent metrics, strong data foundations, and high-impact insights that directly support Hippo’s strategic and financial goals. About You: You have a bias for action and enjoy driving initiatives from insight to impact — innovating not just for the sake of it, but to move the needle on outcomes that matter. You bring strong analytical skills and experience in business analytics across growth (GTM) and/or insurance domains such as retention, underwriting, and claims. You act like an owner: going beyond reporting to identify trends, diagnose root causes, and recommend clear, actionable next steps. You are detail-oriented and proactive, continuously looking for opportunities to improve performance. You thrive in cross-functional environments, embrace diverse perspectives to sharpen your thinking, and communicate insights in ways that resonate with stakeholders across the business — because you know that the best results come from being in it together. What You’ll Do: • Build and maintain dashboards to track performance across growth and insurance KPIs (e.g., conversion, retention, loss ratio, claims efficiency, underwriting performance). • Analyze trends and performance drivers across Sales, Marketing, Retention, Claims, and Underwriting, surfacing insights that impact growth and profitability. • Identify root causes of performance fluctuations and proactively highlight areas requiring action. • Partner with stakeholders across GTM and insurance functions to inform data-driven strategies and operational decisions. • Support retention and lifecycle analytics, including churn drivers, LTV, segmentation, and customer experience insights. • Contribute to claims and underwriting analytics, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, risk selection, and loss outcomes. • Collaborate with Technology and Data Engineering teams to define data requirements and improve data quality, tracking, and accessibility. • Develop executive-ready reports and presentations with clear insights and recommended actions. • Support forecasting, scenario modeling, and performance tracking against AOP and strategic targets. Must Haves: • 3–5 years of experience in business analytics, strategy, or operations (experience in insurance or insurtech is a plus). • Strong analytical and technical skills (SQL, Excel, Tableau). • Experience working with performance metrics across growth and/or insurance domains (e.g., marketing funnels, retention, claims, underwriting). • Ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders. • Strong communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional partners. • A proactive problem solver who takes ownership and drives outcomes. • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with evolving priorities.
