Responsibilities

  • Provide technical leadership for data science across Claims Fraud, shaping the approach to risk decisioning and fraud detection in partnership with Product and Engineering
  • Design, build and iterate on production ML and Generative AI/LLM systems that support claims validation and automation
  • Collaborate closely with other Claims data scientists to bring system-level thinking to how models, data and workflows fit together, identifying architectural improvements needed to scale decisioning and reduce time-to-production
  • Be vocal about the platform and tooling investments needed (monitoring, feedback loops, QA) to achieve AI-driven end to end claims automation
  • Advocate for robust, scalable, and strategically aligned technical solutions in cross-functional discussions, ensuring current systems and infrastructure contribute to the multi-year vision for automated claims handling
  • Set a high bar for statistical rigour, experimentation and measurement, helping improve how Claims performance and uncertainty are understood and communicated to senior stakeholders

Requirements

  • Significant commercial experience delivering end-to-end Machine Learning solutions, from problem framing and experimentation through to production deployment and ongoing monitoring
  • Hands-on experience building and shipping Generative AI systems in production (not just prototypes), including evaluation, safety/quality considerations, and integration into customer or operational workflows
  • Strong statistical and modelling foundation, with experience in risk-based decisioning under uncertainty (e.g., fraud, credit, insurance, or other regulated domains)
  • Proven ability to influence technical direction across Data Science and Engineering, including shaping scalable model/service integration patterns and challenging proposals to drive robust, long-term solutions
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with confidence communicating trade-offs and pushing back constructively with Product and Engineering to ensure high-quality outcomes
