About This Role 

This is a unique opportunity for a data-hungry marketing professional to come and have an immediate impact in contributing to the Hippo success story. We recently transitioned paid search campaigns on Google and Bing in-house and are looking for the right individual to help us take them to the next level.

About You 

We are looking for a new teammate who is passionate about finding ways to grow a business with an excellent ability to translate data into actionable insights. You are comfortable navigating through large amounts of data to find diamonds in the rough, never lose sight of your metrics, and are obsessed about growth.

You are organized and can manage multiple projects at the same time. You have a hands-on attitude and are known for your ability to deliver projects on schedule. You always look for efficiency gains such as automating repetitive tasks.

You have a passion for performance marketing and stay on top of the latest industry trends, allowing you to test new features and tools before others. Last but not least, you’re self-motivated, thrive in a fast-paced environment but love working with a close-knit group.
