We are here for you, here for good and here for better. We are seeking a Data Scientist to build a next-generation predictive analytics capability for life insurance experience. This role will focus on developing a continuous modeling and insight generation system that monitors experience data, detects emerging trends, and surfaces actionable signals across areas such as mortality, lapse, and other in-force dynamics. You will design and automate a suite of predictive models that run regularly against updated data, evaluate changes in experience, and identify meaningful shifts before they are visible through traditional analysis. These structured insights will serve as a core input into a broader AI-driven ecosystem that generates automated reporting, narrative explanations, and decision support for stakeholders across the organization.
