A UK personal and commercial lines insurer is seeking a Data Science Lead to take responsibility for these duties with a focus on pricing.
The core focus of this role is to develop and implement the data science strategy for the pricing function. This will include providing predictive analytics and modelling as well as source internal and external datasets to support this area.
You will provide leadership to a team of pricing analysts and data scientists with the aim to upskill the team in data science overall. There is a desire to promote innovation and new thinking which this role will be an integral part of instilling into the business. You will also be expected to remain on top of the most recent developments in data science and machine learning to help the business maintain a competitive edge.
