Senior Data Science Engineer Visa Sponsorship Jobs in Texas

Description

USRM Distribution & Marketing Data Science is hiring a Senior Director I, Data Science to lead our Independent Agency Data Science team. This role will span two critical areas of work. First, it will oversee the expansion, improvement, and maintenance of our mature Quote Efficiency portfolio. This suite of models helps make Liberty Mutual a brand that independent agents love to sell, by making us appear accurately and attractively in comparative raters and making our proprietary quoting and binding systems easy to use while manifesting our underwriting appetite in specific, actionable ways. Second, this role will direct emerging opportunities for IA Data Science, including models to make our Small Commercial products easier for agents to sell, models that help our Territory Managers use their time optimally, and models that influence the behavior of roughly 100,000 individual producers across our appointed independent agencies.

Candidates who live within 50 miles of Boston, MA; Portsmouth, NH; Seattle, WA; Columbus, OH; or Plano, TX will follow a hybrid schedule, coming into the office two days per week. Otherwise, this role is remote with occasional travel.

• Collaborating with analytics, technology, experience, strategy, and marketing teams focused on the independent agency channel, to help us be the best insurer for independent agents in the industry.

• Leading and developing your team by setting clear goals and expectations, motivating and inspiring high performance, leveraging a diversity of perspectives, and supporting the people on your team as they grow and develop.

Preferred skills and experiences:

• Deep knowledge of the data science lifecycle, from identifying and framing business opportunities, through training and deploying models, to evaluating and continually monitoring in-market performance.
