You will lead and deliver complex data science initiatives, guide experimentation with new AI capabilities, and transform large, diverse datasets into actionable recommendations and scalable AI-enabled opportunities.

Beyond technical expertise, you'll mentor junior data scientists, champion best practices in Responsible AI and AI evaluation, and collaborate with business, product, engineering, and platform partners to drive meaningful business outcomes.

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead complex analytics, machine learning, and generative AI initiatives from problem framing through implementation.

• Define analytical approaches, model strategies, evaluation methods, and success measures for high-impact AI use cases.

• Guide experimentation with AI assistants, copilots, RAG solutions, and agentic workflows in partnership with Agentic Engineers and technology teams.

• Apply advanced statistical modeling, machine learning, experimentation, and AI evaluation techniques to solve business problems.

• Translate complex analytical findings and AI outputs into clear, implementable recommendations for business stakeholders and leaders.

• Prepare business cases for assigned initiatives, including expected benefits, adoption considerations, risks, and lessons learned from related business contexts.

• Develop an intimate understanding of supported business areas, including value chains, customer journeys, operating context, and company culture.

• Anticipate and proactively address peer review, governance, and model risk management considerations through clear documentation and defensible analytical choices.

• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior data scientists, facilitate best-practice exchange, and share technical expertise across the team.

• Contribute reusable approaches for experimentation, model validation, and AI solution assessment within assigned initiatives and the broader data science practice.

• Build a strong internal network across business, data science, engineering, platform, and governance partners, and share lessons learned to advance practice maturity.

Required Qualifications:

• Advanced degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or related field; or Bachelor's degree with equivalent technical experience.

• Minimum of 5 years of applicable experience in data science, advanced analytics, machine learning, or AI solution development.

• Advanced programming capability in Python, R, or similar analytical programming languages; strong SQL experience preferred.

• Advanced understanding of programming, statistics, machine learning, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, model production, insight generation, and data wrangling.

• Deep knowledge of statistical modeling, machine learning algorithms, experimental design, model evaluation, and analytical storytelling.

• Experience leading complex data science initiatives from discovery through implementation.

• Working knowledge of generative AI, LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, RAG, AI evaluation, or agentic AI concepts.

• Ability to influence stakeholders, develop business cases, and communicate complex technical concepts to senior audiences.

• Experience mentoring data scientists and promoting technical best practices.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Azure, Databricks, Git, MLflow, model monitoring, or cloud-based AI/ML development environments.

• Familiarity with LLMOps, MLOps, model governance, Responsible AI, privacy, security, and model risk management.

• Experience with vector databases, semantic search, embeddings, RAG pipelines, or knowledge retrieval architectures.

• Exposure to LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar agentic AI frameworks.

• Experience supporting AI product development, experimentation portfolios, proof-of-concepts, MVPs, or scaled enterprise deployments.

• Experience in financial services, insurance, or another regulated environment.

When you join our team:

• We'll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.

• We'll recognize and support you in a flexible environment where well-being and inclusion are more than just words.
