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're looking for a Product Compliance & Forms Management Lead to serve as a critical first line of defense within our Insurance Product organization. You'll own the full lifecycle of our insurance forms library - policy forms, endorsements, disclosures, notices, and customer correspondence - ensuring every document is accurate, current, properly filed, and competitively positioned.
This is not a back-office filing role. You'll sit at the center of Product, Legal, Compliance, and Underwriting, translating regulatory requirements into actionable guidance and shaping how our coverage forms support company growth, profitability, and a best-in-class customer experience.
What You'll Own
Forms Library & Coverage Document Management
- Maintain and govern the company's complete library of coverage forms, endorsements, and policy jackets (HO-1 through HO-8 and related P&C forms)
- Own the end-to-end forms lifecycle: drafting, revision, internal review, regulatory filing, versioning, implementation, and retirement
- Ensure proper versioning discipline so the right form is served to the right customer in every state and keep our contract language best-in-class relative to the broader market
Regulatory Compliance & Filings
- Act as the primary compliance partner embedded within the Product team, advising on regulatory requirements during product development, launches, and enhancements
- Prepare and submit form filings via SERFF; manage the full workflow including objections, extensions, re-submissions, and certifications across all active states
- Maintain thorough documentation and audit trails for all regulatory submissions
Regulatory Monitoring & Competitive Intelligence
- Monitor changes from ISO, state regulators, and legislative developments affecting coverage forms and disclosures
- Track competitor form language to identify opportunities for differentiation and translate regulatory developments into clear, actionable recommendations for Product and Legal
Product & Growth Enablement
- Update and enhance coverage forms in support of growth objectives and profitability targets
- Partner with Underwriting to align forms with risk appetite and provide system specifications to IT/Engineering through implementation
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Governance
- Partner with Legal, Compliance, Product, Marketing, Operations, and QA to establish governance frameworks, scalable processes, and documentation standards for forms management and customer communications
Team Building & Leadership
- Stand up this function as a defined capability within the Product organization
- Hire and develop an Analyst within the first ~6 months, with a clear growth path to Senior Analyst and beyond
What You Bring
Required
- 5+ years in insurance forms management, product compliance, regulatory filings, or P&C product development
- Strong working knowledge of P&C regulatory requirements, state filing processes, and customer disclosure obligations
- Hands-on SERFF experience and familiarity with standard homeowners policy forms (ISO HO program) and endorsement structures
- Exceptional attention to detail with strong organizational, documentation, and version-control skills
- Excellent communication skills; able to translate complex regulatory language into clear business guidance
Preferred
- Experience managing multi-state insurance products and navigating state-by-state regulatory complexity
- Background in homeowners or property insurance
- Familiarity with ISO form development processes and circular updates
- Exposure to forms management systems, document automation, or policy administration platforms
Why This Role Matters
This position is foundational to how we build, maintain, and grow our insurance products. You'll directly influence the quality of our customer-facing documents, our speed to enter new markets, and our ability to stay ahead of regulatory change - all while keeping our coverage forms among the strongest in the industry.
