We are looking for a talented Senior Data Scientist for our Risk Intelligence team. Risk Intelligence is at the core of everything we do. In this role, you will research, develop and improve the machine learning models predicting claims frequency, claims severity and fraud detection. You will work on automating claims payouts and enhancing other aspects of rating, claims, and customer experience (e.g. insight to improve fleet safety). This role involves continuous experimentation, A/B testing, and an iterative approach to productizing our learnings. You will work closely with product management, underwriting, actuaries, machine learning engineers and other product/engineering teams.
A day in the life
Use advanced statistics, machine learning, and mathematical approaches to develop highly predictive risk models to improve our underwriting and claims settlement processes
Assess modelling techniques, identify improvements and communicate results with internal stakeholders, including leadership, to ensure these are incorporated into business processes
Create POCs to validate new product ideas and experiments to improve existing predictive models
Design data collection strategies and their applications for building new products
Provide technical mentorship to other team members
Exemplify and foster humble, collaborative and impact-obsessed culture
