People Business Partner (HRBP)

Join Hippo, a fast-growing insurtech company, as a People Business Partner (HRBP). In this role, you will serve as the primary HRBP for assigned stakeholders across various business lines and core functions. You will advise leaders on organizational health, talent, performance, and workforce planning, and translate complex business priorities into people recommendations. You will also coach managers on performance management, team development, and drive culture and engagement within your client groups. Additionally, you will execute employee relations case management, advise managers on policy interpretation and performance actions, and partner with various HR functions to deliver integrated people programs.

• Servir como el principal socio comercial de recursos humanos para las partes interesadas asignadas, asesorando a los líderes sobre la salud organizacional, el talento, el rendimiento y la planificación de la fuerza laboral.
• Traducir prioridades comerciales complejas en recomendaciones de personas; anticipar riesgos relacionados con el personal antes de que se conviertan en problemas operativos.
• Gestionar el ciclo completo de HRBP sin supervisión diaria: diagnosticar problemas de salud organizacional, navegar por las relaciones laborales (ER) con un juicio sólido y traducir problemas comerciales complejos en soluciones para las personas.
• A background in insurance, financial services, or another regulated industry is a strong plus, but what matters most is your ability to partner credibly with technical, fast-moving client groups and translate their priorities into people strategy
• You bring hands-on experience supporting product, underwriting, actuarial, business development, or other operational and strategic functions — and you know how to build credibility with subject-matter experts while still driving the fundamentals of great HR business partnering
• You are a credible, independent People Business Partner who thrives in complex, cross-functional environments
• You're as comfortable partnering with an actuarial or underwriting leader on talent planning as you are coaching a manager through a difficult conversation or briefing senior leadership on engagement trends
• You manage the full HRBP cycle without day-to-day oversight: diagnosing org health issues, navigating employee relations (ER) with sound judgment, and translating complex business problems into people solutions that land
• You hold a high bar for consistency and confidentiality, and you build trust quickly — with technical experts and business leaders alike
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to advise with clarity and hold a position under pressure
• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field; advanced degree a plus
• Exceptional judgment, confidentiality, and the ability to build trust quickly with managers and leaders at all levels
• Experience supporting technical, product, or business-development-oriented organizations preferred — comfort building credibility with subject-matter experts and translating technical priorities into people strategy
• Strong analytical capability; able to interpret workforce data, identify trends, and translate findings into clear recommendations
• 5+ years of progressive HR Business Partner experience with demonstrated depth in employee relations and performance management
• Demonstrated ability to manage ER matters independently and in a consistent, risk-aware, and legally sound manner from intake through resolution
• Insurance, financial services, banking, or a similarly regulated industry experience strongly preferred; familiarity with underwriting, actuarial, or portfolio/program management functions a plus
• Property & Casualty insurance experience
• Experience supporting actuarial, underwriting, reinsurance, or MGA/program business functions
• HR certifications a plus: SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, SPHR, or GPHR
