Reporting to Sr Manager, Data & Analytics, you'll have autonomy to shape how shared services uses data to optimize operations.

About You:

Are you a data analyst who wants to work in a fast growing InsurTech company where shared services touches nearly every function at Hippo. Right now, critical questions go unanswered: How are we retaining agents? What's driving retention in certain states or roles? What's our actual office utilization? Are HR processes working as designed?

This data analyst will change that. You will unlock visibility into operations, support strategic decisions, and demonstrate the value of analytics to the business.

You're someone who:

• Gets excited about uncovering insights in data and sharing them with others
• Doesn't wait to be told what to do - you see the gap and fill it

• Views ambiguity as an opportunity, not an obstacle
• Wants to grow your analytics skills and build expertise in a function that matters

• Build Tableau dashboards and SQL queries that answer specific business questions
• Present findings to stakeholders , and operational teams; translate data into recommendations

• Maintain dashboards, validate data quality, and support stakeholder adoption
• Conduct stakeholder interviews to understand business needs
• Define scope and approach for new analytics initiatives
• Communicate back to stakeholders in clear, business-friendly language
• Contribute to team standards and best practices
• Share learnings and insights across the analytics function

Must Haves:

• 6 + years of data analytics experience
• Bachelor’s degree in STEM
• SQL proficiency - can write efficient queries against databases/data warehouses
• Tableau (or similar BI tool) - comfortable building dashboards from scratch
• Self-starter mindset - takes initiative to identify opportunities, gathers requirements without being asked, doesn't need handholding
• Storyteller - can present data insights clearly to non-technical audiences, explains 'why' not just 'what,' connects findings to business recommendations
• Analytical p roblem-solving - comfortable scoping ambiguous problems and recommending approaches
• Attention to detail - data quality and accuracy matter; you catch inconsistencies
