Description

The US Data Science (USDS) Personal Auto Modeling group is looking for talent to help drive pricing segmentation for Liberty’s lead line. We are expanding our team to increase sophistication and enable complex state solutions, with several openings for individual contributors to help build and implement our Usage Based Insurance (Telematics) and Core Auto Pricing models. This is a great opportunity to combine business acumen with predictive modeling expertise to influence every aspect of the product development process, from product design to model build and deployment.

 

This is a joint posting for multiple openings across both our Core Auto Pricing and Usage Based Insurance (Telematics) teams. Our USRM Data Science Personal Lines Auto Modeling group is seeking talented individual contributors to help develop pricing models, optimize and plan the delivery of those models, perform research, and bridge the gap between the technical decisions of model development and the practicalities of business implementation for Usage Based Insurance (Telematics) and/or Core Auto Pricing products. In these roles, analysts will closely collaborate with a high-functioning team of data scientists and insurance professionals to develop and implement our next generation of pricing models for either our Core Auto Pricing programs or our Telematics programs. Leverage your business acumen, project planning skills, intellectual curiosity, and technical proficiency through both collaborative and independent projects. Analysts will have the opportunity to influence every aspect of the product development process, from product design to model build and deployment, but will also have opportunities to collaborate on related projects with our internal partners.

 

Successful candidates will understand business goals and strategy, have experience with data sourcing and exploratory data analysis, and be familiar with the basics of statistical modeling. Solid communication and interpersonal skills are critical to the roles, as the individuals we hire will work very closely with their respective team and internal partners as we implement, monitor, and enhance our programs. These positions will play a key role in expanding the Core and Telematics auto pricing capabilities of the organization across the US.
