About Hippo
Hippo was built on a promise: make homeownership effortless. Nearly a decade later, that mission still drives us. We use technology and data to help our customers stay ahead of problems and protect what matters most.
Today, that same tech-native approach powers our work beyond homeowners. Hippo operates as a diversified carrier platform, partnering with MGAs to deliver tailored program solutions that help them grow and deliver better customer experiences. Behind that work is a team that values ownership, curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
If you're energized by building what's next, we'd love to meet you.
About You
You are a credible, independent People Business Partner who thrives in complex, cross-functional environments. 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 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'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 hold a high bar for consistency and confidentiality, and you build trust quickly — with technical experts and business leaders alike. 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.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the primary People Business Partner to assigned stakeholders across Hippo's business lines and/or core functions, which may include product management, underwriting, actuarial, business development, and other enabling groups — advising leaders on org health, talent, performance, and workforce planning
- Translate complex business priorities (new product lines, portfolio growth, program partnerships) into people recommendations; anticipate people risks before they become operational problems and bring a clear point of view to leadership
- Coach managers across operational and business functions on performance management, difficult conversations, and team development with consistency and practical guidance
- Partner with L&D to strengthen manager and leadership effectiveness; connect managers to the right resources and close capability gaps within your client groups
- Drive culture and engagement within your client groups by identifying issues early, facilitating solutions, and tracking measurable progress
- Execute ER case management across Hippo from intake through resolution, with disciplined documentation and risk-aware judgment
- Advise managers on policy interpretation, conduct matters, and performance actions; ensure consistent and legally compliant application across client groups
- Partner with People Operations, Talent Acquisition, People Programs, and Total Rewards to deliver integrated people programs; interpret workforce data to surface trends and actionable recommendations for technical and business-facing teams
- Contribute to cross-functional People initiatives and support People leadership on enterprise priorities as needed
Must Haves
- Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field; advanced degree a plus
- 5+ years of progressive HR Business Partner experience with demonstrated depth in employee relations and performance management
- 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
- Demonstrated ability to manage ER matters independently and in a consistent, risk-aware, and legally sound manner from intake through resolution
- Exceptional judgment, confidentiality, and the ability to build trust quickly with managers and leaders at all levels
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to advise with clarity and hold a position under pressure
- Insurance, financial services, banking, or a similarly regulated industry experience strongly preferred; familiarity with underwriting, actuarial, or portfolio/program management functions a plus
Nice to Haves
- 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

HR Business Partner Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a hr business partner in Texas?
Most hr business partner roles in Texas require a bachelor's degree in human resources or business, followed by several years in an HR generalist or coordinator role before moving into a dedicated partner position. Texas has no state licensing board for HR professionals, but earning the PHR or SPHR credential from HRCI or the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP from the Society for Human Resource Management significantly strengthens your candidacy with major Texas employers.
How much do HR business partners make in Texas?
HR business partners in Texas earn a median of about $136,500 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $83,200 for the lowest 10% to over $226,050 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire hr business partners in Texas?
Employers hiring hr business partners in Texas right now include Amazon, Ensign Services, and DSV, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of energy, technology, and financial services headquarters means a large share of openings sit within complex, multi-site organizations that rely heavily on dedicated HR business partners embedded in their business units.
Which Texas cities have the most hr business partner jobs?
Houston, Dallas, and Austin have the most hr business partner openings in Texas. Dallas-Fort Worth leads because of its density of corporate headquarters across finance, telecom, and healthcare, Houston draws heavily from the energy and petrochemical sector, and Austin's growth in technology and semiconductor manufacturing has steadily increased demand for strategic HR partners embedded within fast-scaling business units.
Are there remote hr business partner jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than many HR roles, since hr business partner work is largely consultative and desk-based. About 52% of hr business partner openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how broadly companies have accepted distributed HR partnership models. Responsibilities focused on policy advising, workforce planning, and data analysis tend to be the most remote-compatible, while employee relations investigations and onsite people management often require a physical presence.
How can I get hired as a hr business partner in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting in an HR coordinator or HR generalist role at a large Texas employer and moving into a business partner track once you have direct employee relations and client-group experience. Large Texas healthcare systems and retailers often hire new graduates into rotational HR development programs that feed into business partner pipelines. Building your SHRM-CP credential early and seeking out stretch assignments in workforce planning or talent management gives you a clear edge in a competitive market.
Where can I find and apply to hr business partner jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to hr business partner jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and other metro areas. Find a role that fits and apply directly from the listing.
