About the Role

This role offers a unique opportunity to establish a product marketing function from the ground up. You will be responsible for bringing Hippo+'s new bundled home protection offering to market, defining its strategy, positioning, and go-to-market approach. This position sits at the intersection of product, marketing, and sales, offering significant authority and visibility to build a impactful product.

Responsibilities

  • Own positioning and message hierarchy for the Hippo product, including the insurance-plus-warranty category.
  • Define, refine, and maintain target personas, grounded in customer voice, data and research synthesis.
  • Lead competitive intelligence across the insurance-and-warranty category, tracking competitor filings, pricing moves, and positioning changes.
  • Build and maintain sales enablement content including battlecards, objection handling guides, one-pagers, and state-specific plan descriptions in partnership with Cinch.
  • Develop and manage the pre-approved language library that governs what we say and how we sell Hippo products.
  • Own launch readiness by state, partnering with Legal, Insurance Product, and Sales to ensure agents are equipped to sell a bundled product with Cinch coverage components.
  • Drive product team alignment across marketing, including critical inputs on website, agent sales funnel, and marketing data collection.
  • Lead marketing experimentation and optimization in support of the Hippo+ learning agenda.
  • Direct a significant portion of Hippo's agile workforce — the specialists, agencies, and partners bringing Hippo products to life — scoping engagements, setting quality standards, and keeping the work aligned to the go-to-market plan.
  • Build the durable product marketing foundation: the frameworks, templates, evaluation criteria, and stage gates that future Hippo product launches will run on.
  • Deliver against hard phase gates: documented target persona and pricing risk identification by December 31, 2026; personas, state-prioritization model, and rebuilt creative locked by end of Q1 2027.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of D2C product marketing experience, ideally within fintech, insurance, or a similarly regulated consumer category, with a proven track record of thriving in complex environments.
  • A builder's mindset-you've owned positioning and launch readiness end to end, not just executed someone else's playbook.
  • Experience getting excellent work out of people who don't report to you--agency, contract, or flexible- resource teams you scoped, directed, and held to a standard.
  • Appetite for building the system, not just the deliverable--you have created process and frameworks where none existed and that energizes rather than drains you.
  • Sharp judgement on messaging in regulated environments where legal review and partner approvals are part of the process, not an obstacle.
  • A track record of building sales enablement content that actually moves conversion metrics.
  • A natural collaborator who can work across Legal, Insurance Product, Sales, and external partners without losing momentum.
  • Fluency with AI tools to accelerate competitive intelligence, content creation, and research synthesis--you know how to use the best tools available to do more with less.
