About Hippo:

Our mission is to deliver intuitive and proactive protection for homeowners, combining the power of technology with a human touch.

Hippo built the world’s first home protection platform. We believe that insurance should protect your home and the things you treasure with policies designed for modern lives and proactive protection that helps you care for your home. Our aim is to help you avoid issues before they become costly problems because the best claims experience is the one you don’t have. Simply put, Hippo exists to protect the joy of homeownership.

About the Role:

We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Actuarial Analyst to join our reserving team for homeowners insurance. In this role, you will support the development and maintenance of loss reserve models, ensuring the company’s financial stability and compliance with regulatory standards.

  • Support the annual, quarterly and monthly financial reporting processes across GAAP and STAT entities
  • Perform forensic data analysis to identify any issues with claims data quality
  • Contribute to reconciling data, setting up data routines, structuring custom reserve reviews, and ensuring the organization has effective tools to evaluate reserves. Assist in documentation and control of these processes.
  • Identify opportunities for process and efficiency improvement in department functions with follow-through to implement data driven and automated solutions
  • Support the review of new and existing insurance programs
