Assistant Director, Data Science (STP)
About The Position
The Assistant Director, Data Science (STP) will lead the end-to-end delivery of predictive analytics solutions. This includes problem definition, data preparation, feature engineering, model development, validation, and deployment. The role involves translating business objectives into analytic approaches, success metrics, and project plans for medium-sized data science initiatives. The position requires partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to gather requirements, prioritize use cases, and align analytics deliverables with business strategy. The role will apply machine learning, deep learning, statistical modeling, and optimization techniques to large structured and unstructured datasets to generate insights and predict outcomes. Responsibilities also include identifying and testing hypotheses using appropriate statistical methods, evaluating model performance, and developing and applying computer vision methods for insurance-domain use cases. The role requires producing clear visualizations and narratives to communicate findings to various audiences, documenting methodology, and providing technical guidance through code review. The position requires domestic travel up to 10% and permits telecommuting up to 60%.
