About the Role
The Corporate Actuarial Advanced Analytics team combines actuarial expertise with data science to develop and maintain analytical solutions for P&C claims reserving, enhancing core actuarial processes and strengthening model governance. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will develop, validate, implement, maintain, and monitor advanced analytical solutions in collaboration with actuaries and Business Intelligence partners.
Responsibilities
- Develop, validate, implement, maintain, and monitor predictive models supporting P&C claims reserving.

- Deliver reliable, reproducible, production-ready analytical solutions autonomously.
- Evaluate methodologies for efficiency, accuracy, flexibility, stability, and interpretability.
- Advance the measurement, monitoring, analysis, and communication of model performance.
- Integrate analytics into recurring reserving processes and support sustainable adoption.
- Strengthen testing, documentation, controls, technical handoffs, and model-risk governance.
- Make evidence-based recommendations and coach peers on scientific and analytical practices.
Requirements
- Six to nine years of experience in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Business Intelligence, or a related field.
- Demonstrated proficiency in statistics, predictive modelling, and machine learning.
- Experience solving complex problems and delivering production-ready models or recurring analytical solutions.
- Proficiency in R, Python, SQL, and data-engineering tools is required.
- Proficiency in Databricks and cloud-based analytical environments is an asset.
- Experience with source control, peer review, testing, documentation, deployment, and monitoring is an important asset.
