Hippo Locations We are headquartered in Leeds and have offices across the UK in Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, London and Bristol.

We're on the lookout for top talent nationwide but you need to be located within reasonable travelling distance from one of our offices.

Given the dynamic nature of a consulting business, you may be required to work on-site at a Hippo office or at an in/out of town client location for a number of days per week (client dependent) and therefore candidates will need to be open/flexible to travel and working on one of those sites at least 2 days per week.
