McCullom Lake, IL

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection. Job Description This role is responsible for leading the use of data to make decisions in primarily the weather/climate space. This includes: the development and management of new machine learning predictive modeling algorithms, the coding/development of tools that use machine learning/predictive modeling to make business decisions, searching for and integrating new data (both internal and external) that improves our modeling and machine learning results (and ultimately our decisions), and discovery of solutions to business problems that can be solved through the use of machine learning/predictive modeling. This role will manage projects of medium complexity.

  • Uses best practices to develop complex statistical, machine learning techniques to build models that address business needs and to improve the accuracy of our data and data-driven decisions
  • Reviews, evaluates, communicates and makes recommendation on appropriateness of modeling techniques and results to team, leadership and stakeholders to ensure these are well understood and incorporated into business processes. Develops and executes communication strategy, keeping stakeholders informed and influencing business partners and senior leaders on the effectiveness of machine learning/predictive modeling to solve business problems.
  • Collaborates with outside business units and works on data and complex business problems in order to improve the effectiveness of business decisions and business results through designing, building, and partnering to implement machine learning/predictive models. Effectively understand the business' problems and requirements to identify the optimal modeling approach. Develops frameworks/prototypes that integrate data and machine learning/predictive modeling to make business decisions.
  • Identifies languages and tools that can bring efficiencies or needed techniques to the team. Identifies new areas of data, research and models and develops data sources that can solve business problems.
  • Utilizes effective project planning techniques to break down complex machine learning/predictive modeling and/or development projects into tasks, manage scope of projects, and ensure deadlines are kept. Manages various analytical and modeling projects with small number of team members.
  • Mentors and develops others
  • Master's Degree in Atmospheric Dynamics, Earth Science, Climate, Physics, or Mathematics
  • 3 or more years of experience
  • Proven ability to code and develop prototypes in coding languages, Python experience preferred.
  • Experience with geospatial and weather datasets. Ability to strategize on raster vs vector data and techniques for working with this type of data.
  • Experience with setting up large complex data pipelines to support analytics
  • Experience with software development best practices, including virtual environments, unit testing, and Github
  • Experience with cloud computing; Azure or AWS preferred.
  • A background STEM research; weather and climate preferred.
  • Proven experience in managing and manipulating large, complex datasets and ability to analyze and interpret moderate to complex concepts
  • Ability to provide written and oral interpretation of highly specialized terms and data, and ability to present this data to others with different levels of expertise
  • Demonstrated Analytic Agility and ability to quickly learn and switch topics
  • Ability to manage a wide range of loosely defined moderate to complex situations, which require application of creativity and originality, where guidance and counsel may be unavailable
  • Ability to train, develop, and teach more junior modelers
  • Experience in using statistical modeling and/or machine learning techniques to build models that have driven company decision making
